Re: vm client OK, actual client hangs after login - on guest account only

I'm not sure what was going on here when I first tried to get a real client
to boot and it wouldn't, all working GREAT now! [solved]

I am so grateful for the support that's been offered here. I've set up a
church community project offering PC access to those who can't afford a
computer or internet and also to support people working with the benefit
system in the UK which is now going online. We have a rota of 25 volunteers
supporting clients four sessions a week. The whole thing runs on FOSS and
much of our hardware was donated. LTSP runs at a very decent fast pace on
dell optiplex 755 fat clients (4gb ram). The server is an HP ML350 g6, 2
quad core Intel E5606's, 32gb ram. That runs Proxmox and the ltsp server is
an Xubuntu 18.04 desktop install now that I've gone chrootless. Just having
fun with Epoptes now! Thanks for all the hard work and support that goes
into making such projects possible. Awesome!
