I am testing for a few days/weeks and the error is still there. I update
this morning and do testing again. The version (jessie) of:
ldm-server 2:2.2.15-1
ltsp-server 5.5.4-1
ltsp-client 5.5.4-1
running on a dedicate server AMD64 6 core 16G-Byte.
On the ltsp-server ligthdm is running. I can log in local using gnome,
gnome-classic, cinnamon (3d/2d), mate, kde .......

Running ltsp-wheezy as a dum(x) on Dom0 squeeze:
On wheezy i can use gnome-classic but not gnome, Mate (backports), KDE
plasma and LXDE are running fine. I am playing with totem a video
1920x1080 over Network. No problem.

All testing i do with thin-client! No Fat-client.

I have only a lts.conf in /opt/ltsp/*/etc/lts.conf.
I append the files.

on the server:
ltsp-chroot
  passwd (adding password for root, to login on thin-client)
/etc/ligthdm/ligthdm.conf
  [XDMCPServer]
     enable=true
on the client:
CTRL-ALT-F1 and login as root
adduser test
logout an login as test because root can't start X.
X -query servername/ip :1
choose the session and login.

I started with ltsp on wheezy as dum(x) on a squeezy server about one
year ago. But I had sound-problems (solved after updates) and no
mate-desktop (now in backports). And there was a bug in the DHCP-Server
and DDNS with ip4+ip6. The bug ist solved in jessie (wheezy? I don't
now.). I don't like gnome3. So i stop testing and beginn new tests with
jessie.

In jessie i have sound and mate runs very good. But for other users i
want gnome, cinnamon. Running jessie as dum(x) under squeeze i have to
compile the kernel to change the compressionmethod. But i can't run
neither gnome nor cinnamon per remote. So i begin new test on a dedicate
server.
The next test will be:
-setup ltsp-jessie under dom0-jessie
-setup a new one jessie under dom0-squeeze, because one year ago i
install mate vom mate-desktop.org and I'm not sure to deinstall it right.

The error i report appears on a clean installation!

No, i test it with false an true.

Ok, i have diffrent hardware and can testing for you, but i need help.
Both thin-clients use nvidia. The next test i will do is with my laptop
as thin-client using ati. It may be a X-Server-Error.

Does it help to change the server to i386? I'm using amd64 on the server?
Does it help to change the graficcard from nvidia to ati on thin-client?

I have no time to write software, but i want to help with tests. I have
no problem to patch software or install a testing version.
