Re: [Ltsp-discuss] can't seem to force a resolution

2009-09-09 Thread David Burgess
After trying everything I could think of or find in searching the list, I tried

XSERVER=radeon|ati|vesa

radeon and ati did not work, but vesa did. Too bad it seems a bit choppy.

Another thing I tried was to install a full Ubuntu desktop right onto
the client, and that didn't work either. I've tried searching the
problem on the ubuntu forums and in google, but the real challenge
there is in narrowing down the results.

Thanks again for all the input on this thread. Too bad about buggy ati drivers.

Just a big thank ...

Works like a charm with Stephane Graber's PPA ... installed on server 
and in chroot !

Best regards

[Ltsp-discuss] rdesktop and usbmount

2009-09-09 Thread David Burgess
Hello again,

I appreciate the support I've had from the list getting my
ltsp/rdesktop project ticking. My clients are now booting up to a
Windows remote desktop login, and even without sound, I'm calling the
project a success.

Another challenge I encountered while setting this up is getting local
usb devices to appear in the rdp session. The problem in Ubuntu ltsp
is that because the usb volume mounts only when opened by the user
(i.e., in gnome/nautilus), and since the user will never see gnome,
there is no mount point to pass to the rdesktop command.

I found a solution in installing the usbmount package in the chroot,
added vfat to the supported fs types, rebuilt and rebooted.

I'm just stating this here for the record, as google doesn't seem to
turn anything up. Is there an appropriate place in a wiki somewhere I
should add this information?

Much thanks,

with ltspfs 0.5.13 on ubuntu or debian, install both the ltspfsd and ltspfs
package into the chroot, and then it should at least partially work, by making
a mount on the thin client in /media/root/* that you can then export via
rdesktop somehow as a drive. at least that's what gadi tells me. :)

live well,
