[Ltsp-discuss] rdesktop and usbmount
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, db -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
