<div dir="ltr">Yep. Your looking at a remote X arrangement. Basically the X server starts and tries to connect to a remote machine for everything. In Login Window Preferences go to Security and click on "Configure X Server".<br>
Then change server to start from Standard to Chooser.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Aug 7, 2008 at 7:40 PM, Daniel Howard <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dhhoward@comcast.net">dhhoward@comcast.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

reasonably well with Xubuntu using a PCMCIA card for Ethernet, so I went<br>
ahead and installed it. I'd really like to use it as a thin client<br>
since one of the schools I did recently had a break-in and lost 4 of the<br>
laptops I'd set up previously there as thin clients. Is there an easy<br>
way for me to have this laptop fully boot in Xubuntu while hanging off<br>
the network switch that the K12LTSP server uses to feed the thin<br>
clients, and then automatically launch a remote X session on the server<br>
so it can run apps off the server like the other thin clients?<br>
<br>
Thanks, Daniel<br>
