I believe this was caused by missing environment variables in the session, like DESKTOP_SESSION, XDG_MENU_PREFIX etc. I've fixed those upstream in LDM+LTSP and I've released them in the Greek schools PPA.
Can someone check if adding the PPA to their sources, both in their server and in the chroot, solves the issue? ** Also affects: ltsp Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: ltsp Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: ltsp Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-session in Ubuntu.
