I have a small problem concerning the stability of the two LBUS demons.
Well, rather the lbuscd demon and a non-responsiveness of lbussd.
After a reboot the terminal (in most cases) works just fine. Upon
log-in it probes the floppy and places the floppy folder om the
desktop. USB stick appears (at least if I plug it in and out a few
times) and the IDE-CDROM also works fine (most of the time).
The problems starts, whenever the first user (after a reboot) logs
out, and leaves the terminal to a different user. In several cases
this causes the floppy drive not to be detected upon login. Though
/usr/sbin/lbus_event_handler.sh add block readwrite 1024 Floppy
works fine and it added the floppy and double clicking it give me
access to the floppy.
In other cases, inserting a cdrom is not detected by lbuscd (at least
lbussd is not firing). Again in most cases
/usr/sbin/lbus_event_handler.sh add block readonly 1024 CDROM
does provide access to it. (Though it might not want to release the
CDROM until the terminal is rebooted.)
From what I gather a normal log-in should give you this in ~/.lbussd.out
fifo opened, fd: 4
Sending: Register
Sending: EnumerateDevices
Starting the loop...
listening on: 3
event: [AddBlockDevice|0|1|readwrite|0|0|Floppy], messagetpe: [AddBlockDevice]
Saved:
device_id: 1
sharename: readwrite
removeable: 0
size: 0
desc: Floppy
type: block
About to run /usr/sbin/lbus_event_handler.sh
and so forth. In a situation where floppy was not detected, I just get
this:
fifo opened, fd: 4
Sending: Register
Sending: EnumerateDevices
Starting the loop...
listening on: 3
I also see quite a few lbuscd crashes (indicated by "Select said there
were bytes, but there weren't any!" in ~/.lbussd.out, BTW lbussd is
running as 'exec /usr/sbin/lbussd >> ${HOME}/.lbussd.out 2>&1 &')
An if the user doesn't notice, then the next user will have
Couldn't establish a connection to terminal:9202: IO::Socket::INET: connect:
Connection refused
in ~/.lbussd.out
Is this an (un)expected instability, and is there something I can do
to improve the experience for my users (we are not in production mode
yet).
