LTSP client with gnome-shell as gnome-session.

[Jonne]

Hello,
I'm looking for a way to get Gnome-Shell to work within a thin client.
Steps i took:

A fresh fully updated zentyal 2.3 server.
With only networking, users and groups, dhcp and thin client installed and configured.

Now, i can login with an administrator and an user account on a thin client.
I would like to have a different look, Gnome-shell.

Now i tried: "sudo apt-get install gnome-shell network-manager-"

Edited the /var/...../lts.conf and added "LDM_SESSION = "gnome-session --session=gnome-clasic" or gnome-fallback..
And made a file in the user account called ".xsession" with "gnome-session --session=gnome-clasic" ^^^^^^
___

Other thing i tried, since gnome didn't work i tried Ubuntu.
So, "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop network-manager-"

And then the "gnome-session --session=ubuntu" or ubuntu-2d.
This neither worked.

I would love to get some help.
Thanks~ Jonne.

first of all sorry for the late response, 
as i seam to have forgotten to egnowledge it here in the forum,

in the meanwhile i have created a ticket  #4384 to determine if this is a bugg, a missing feature, or just something that needs to be documented.. 

once this is determined - that information will be added to this thread so it can be closed.

Dunno, firstly for some reason gnome hangs on first install, I from an ltsp point of veiw I am unsure how to restart.

This happens if I use virtualbox but on that I just restart and all is ok

ltsp-conf is missing a fat-client directive so it always boots thin so you will always get your zentyal desktop.

I am new to LTSP but I am thinking that LTSP directly on the host server is not the way to go.

Maybe should be a virtual machine or other install and use LTSP cluster tools to config.

I posted some stuff on paste bin as I was playing with LTSP http://pastebin.com/mSXnxCTv

To be honest the whole LTSP brings up a lot of questions and I would be interested in your viewpoint.
