sabayon blocks ssh based ltsp logins if not user profiles are created

After creating a profile and adding users to it, they can log-in. However, it seems they need to log-in 3 times before log-in succeeds. No /var/log/messages about failed log-ins. New users must be added to a profile before they can log-in.

Not only edubuntu but ubuntu and kubuntu suffer this same error

checking .xsession-errors

there's a message about user xxxxx not in profile

and it cannot start session.

I've got a problem, how can i create a profile if i cannot start a grafical session?

i must say it's my personal laptop so there's direclty on the " server"

you should be able to edit profiles with the admin user in any way directly on the ltsp server (many people reported that it works fine that way), else thats another bug that should be filed separately.

I was able to edit profiles. And once profiles were created, users could login, though it took several unsuccessful login attempts first (what I've been calling the "3rd time's a charm bug").

i've got another machine with the same beahaviou, so i'm going to fill another bug.

Problem still occurs in feisty and gutsy. It is caused by /etc/X11/Xsession.d/60sabayon_apply script. Because of 'set -e' at the beginning of Xsession script any command that won't return true will stop whole Xsession script. /usr/sbin/sabayon-apply returns 1 if the profile is not set for current user causing whole Xsession to stop with an error. As this error is non-fatal this shouldn't happen. As a workaround one can ensure that subject line will return true by adding '|| true' at the end of this line. It should look like:
if [ -x /usr/sbin/sabayon-apply ] ; then
    /usr/sbin/sabayon-apply || true
fi

This can be a bit problematic as all sabayon-apply errors (even fatal) would be thrown away, but I don't have idea how can it be solved differently.

could users be added to a default profile?
something so that when sabayon looks it goes 'oh good, profile', and
keeps going?

sabayon (2.19.2-0ubuntu2) gutsy; urgency=low

  * Added an option, -n, --no-profile-error. If set, then no profile existing
    returns a 1, failing the login. Default is unset, returning 0 if no
    profile exists.
    Closes LP: #38410
