Popped into this while making traveler disk type of truecrypted USB stick usable in windows+linux.
The biggest problem for me is the broken support for autorun.sh in linux environment, truecrypt binaries can be renamed as truecrypt- linux-i386.exe easily enough. Renaming autorun.sh to autorun.bat would mean possible challenges on windows side. I started to think the tradeoff between running shell scripts and filtering and possible solutions... Would it be a good enough compromise, if the fat-driver would accept the list of extensions that should be given the executable bit to? Then udisks-daemon could pass extensions .exe, .bat, .com and .sh as mount- options. If some desktop wants to override the default it would be still possible. These changes needed for this are pretty staightforward (functionality in kernel/fat+udisks, mount documentation in util-linux if I did not miss something), I actually tested it out already in oneiric and could provide patches (to ubuntu, upstream or both) if this would be something that could be accepted. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/663815 Title: Could not able to run the executable from the USB flash drive only in Ubuntu 10.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks/+bug/663815/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
