Re: [Ltsp-discuss] rdesktop and usb

[Pedro G. R. <go...@ne...>]

Allow me to gently bump this thread...

Quick abstract: ltspfs (version 0.5.5-0ubuntu1) is installed in the 
client, usb pen drives work in Linux, not in Windows over RDP. It _does_ 
work if I drop to the shell and mount it manually (mount /dev/sdb1 
/media/root). What is keeping the drives from mounting automatically in 
Windows?

Any help troubleshooting this would be appreciated.

thanks
Pedro

Hi,

Only today did I have the chance to check this out - I'm afraid I'm only
near this server on Mondays and Fridays, and remote access is not
available...

I have ltspfs installed with version 0.5.5-0ubuntu1, I can check this
both on the server using chroot and on the client shell. I suppose this
confirms that it is installed and the image is updated.

Where can we go from here...?

Many thanks
Pedro
