GNOME flashback simply hangs when selected as a profile on Ubuntu 16.04. All the users sees is the blue background from the startup. To test do "sudo apt install gnome-session-flashback" and add this ThinLinc profile: > [/profiles/gnome-flashback] > xdg_session=gnome-flashback-metacity
Argh. gnome-flashback has special handling in Ubuntu's weird upstart redirection voodoo. We need to update tl-run-profile to do the same thing.

Need more info to test this.

Re-verified that that the problem exists on Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS installation with ThinLinc 4.8.0, then upgraded to to Ubuntu 16.04.3 and the problem is still there. The upstart / flashback versions before and after upgade is the same: # dpkg -l upstart gnome-session-flashback gnome-flashback Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig- pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-=======================-================-================-==================================================== ii gnome-flashback 3.18.2-1ubuntu1 amd64 GNOME Flashback application ii gnome-session-flashback 1:3.18.2-1ubuntu all GNOME Session Manager - GNOME Flashback session ii upstart 1.13.2-0ubuntu21 amd64 event-based init daemon - essential binaries
Updated ThinLinc to build 5543 and verified that flashback session works as expected.
