Hi Scott,

Thanks for pointing out the deficiencies in my response. Please find
corrections below!


> > 1. Is the device partitioned? Yes

The usb thumb drive is partitioned and is recognized just fine on a
workstation running a full version of Ubuntu 7.04.


> > 2. Is ltspfs installed on the server? Yes

Here's the output:

john at mcbuntu:~$ dpkg -l ltspfs | grep ^ii

ii  ltspfs         0.4.3-0ubuntu6 Fuse based remote filesystem for
LTSP thin clients





> > 3. Is fuse loaded on the server? Yes

Here's the output:

fuse                   46612  1

> > 4.  Is the user a member of the fuse group? Yes


Here's the output:

john at mcbuntu:~$ ls -la /dev/fuse

crw-rw---- 1 root fuse 10, 229 2007-08-29 13:23 /dev/fuse

I guess I need a point of clarification here. It sounds like you are
saying I should log onto the system from a thin client and get the
metacity/gnome environment and then conduct my testing from there?

 I have logged on to the Ubuntu Desktop as a user who is a member of
the fuse group but that isn't where I am able to do F1 and get the
CLI. Doing F1 there gets me no change to the CLI.

However  if I boot up a thin client, get to the graphical greeter, hit
F1, log in as root and issue the command

ssh -S /tmp/.ltspfs_socket server "/usr/sbin/ltspfsmounter /tmp add"

The response to this from the system is:

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

# This is the default lts.conf file for ltsp 5.
# For more information about valid options please see:
# /usr/share/doc/ltsp-client/examples/lts-parameters.txt.gz
# in the client environment

[default]
    SOUND=True
    LOCALDEV=True
    NBD_SWAP=True
    SYSLOG=server

   LDM_DIRECTX=True

As you can see I am using Gadi's recompiled Ldm (which until know I
had taken to be a tool that essentially took the place of the LTS
file.

which I got from the link below)

Hmm. I just booted the think client normally, hit F1, the screen
shifts over to a CLI and I log in as root. I thought that's what the
directions said to do:

"Log in on the text console by pressing Control-Alt-F1, and logging in
as root, with the password you just set. Then, plug in a usb
device..."

Should I be logging in as some other user?

Thanks for keeping with me. I appreciate your efforts.
