how to test ltspfs
The access to local devices should work ok. What remains is getting KDE to display a icon on the desktop when the user inserts a device in the thin client. Testing is requiered in order to determine the quality of the implementation.
It's REQUIRED to use LDM to login on the thin client. it will not work with KDM/GDM
To test try
- install the latest etch-test cd
- alter sources.list to use ftp.skolelinux and the etch-test repository instead of the default etch.
update & upgrade
- install ltspfs on the server
- install ltspfsd in the ltsp chroot
chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get install ltspfsd
- load the module "fuse":
modprobe fuse
- Make sure the fuse module gets loaded on every boot:
echo "fuse" >> /etc/modules
- add LOCALDEV=True in $CHROOT/etc/lts.conf create the file, or copy the example, the file
- will then look like this:
[default] LOCALDEV=True
add $username in to the fuse group, or set 666 on /dev/fuse automatically with this fuse rule; create a file /etc/udev/rules.d/60-fuse.rules and add this to it:
KERNEL=="fuse", NAME="%k", MODE="0666",OWNER="root" GROUP="fuse"
- boot the client
- loggin with $username i LDM
- connect device
- check out the /media/$username tree
