Edubuntu 7.04 still not working: thumb drives/local dev

[john]

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the reply. I'll try to make this understandable.

Problem: Users who are members of the fuse group can't mount thumb
drives from thin clients.

Steps taken: I've followed the step outlined here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebugLocalDev

All steps below completed sucessfuly

1. Is the device partitioned? Yes
2. Is ltspfs installed on the server? Yes
3. Is fuse loaded on the server? Yes
4.  Is the user a member of the fuse group? Yes

Debugging the chroot
Step 1: Setting a root password in the LTSP chroot:  Yes
Step 2: Does the client recognize the plug event?  Yes
Step 3: Did the ltsp udev rules fire?  Yes

The problem begins here:

Step 4: Can you manually issue a mount command? _NO_

 Actions taken to debug:
1.  Log in from a  thin client as root by doing Alt + F2 to get a command line
2. do:  ssh -S /tmp/.ltspfs_socket server "/usr/sbin/ltspfsmounter /tmp add"
3. I  get:

Error: /media/root is not mounted
Error: /media/root/tmp is not mounted

I hope I've described the situation clearly ! :-)

John
