Edubuntu 7.04 still not working: thumb drives/local dev

[john]

Hi Scott et al,

I followed your very nice debug steps at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebugLocalDev and I have some results.

I booted the client to the command line by editing my lts.conf file to read:

SCREEN_01=shell

Following the step layed out by Scott everything checked out until
step 5 when I did

lsmod | grep fuse

which returned nothing

I did modprobe fuse and checked again and fuse was there. So I guess
the fuse module isn't being loaded by default.

Then  I changed my lts.conf back to allow my client to boot
graphically and rebooted.

I logged in as a local user and did step five. I noticed that doing ls
-la /dev/fuse showed a broken link.

So it the problem that I have a broken link between the two
environments? If so what next? If not, what next ? ;-)

I really appreciate the help!

John
