Re: [Thinstation-general] USB Sticks (and Thinlinc)

[Don C. <don...@ya...>]

add the automount package to thinstation to have thinstation automount drives.

 Dave,  I'm using Vmware, but I believe the lines for your usb issue are as follows (change # and Application to what you need).  In my current build, I'm testing the build by booting from usb to save time.  However, you may need to review thinlinc's manuals. There could be a config file that has to be created/filled out to communicate properly with the usb's.  I had to do that so that Vmware would communicate properly with a webcam.

Hi.

I'm trying to get USB working with my Session 0 being ThinLinc.

It's unclear exactly how things are supposed to work.

All the end user will have access to is the main ThinLinc gui
application and then their login'ed thinlinc session (on linux).

So...

User inserts usb stick into the thin client (an Asus EEEBox in this
case). Dmesg on the thin client shows that the thinstation OS recognizes
the USB stick and partition table/etc.

Is the thin client now supposed to automount the USB stick? Or not?

Is the thin client supposed to mount the USB stick when the user, in the
thinlinc remote session (LInux), run tl-mount-localdrives ?

The documentation on thinlinc's side implies that the thinstation is
supposed to mount the stick and export the mount via NFS... but again,
thinstation never actually mounts anything.

And then the question would be, how does the user on the thinstation
side safely *un* mount the stick? In the remote session, the user would
run tl-umount-localdrives, but the stick (if it was mounted) wouldn't be
unumounted by ThinStation. Or is something automagic supposed to happen?

Thanks.

ps the Default thinstation.build.conf mentions /mnt/usbdevice, but this
directory doesn't exist on the thinstation, so something isn't adding up
here.
