Edubuntu 7.04 still not working: thumb drives/local dev

[john]

Hi Scott,

I logged into a thin client as a user who is a member of the fuse group.

I did clt+alt+F1

I logged in as root because as i understand it that is the only user
account on the terminal of the thin client, I had already created a
password for root per the instructions in step one of the
DebugLocalDev howto.

I ran through the steps that I have already outlined with much the
same results. I'd like to capture them and paste them into an email,
but I can't figure out how to do this from tty2

The dmesg showed the device being recognized and cat /etc/fstab showed
the following output:

/dev/sda1 /var/run/drives/usbdisk-sda1 vfat defaults 00

as an aside :

if I cd to dev/sda1 /var/run/drives/usbdisk-sda1 and do "ls -al" I see:

total 0
drwxr-xr-xr 2 root root 40 2007-09-02 20:27 .
drwxr-xr-xr 5 root root 100 2007-09-02 20:27 ..

Next I did:

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

which gave me an ssh key RSA error like this:

The authenticity of host 'server (192.168.0.254)' can't be
established. RSA key fingerpirnt is
47:1c:55:fa:45:05:80:b0:a6:48:c1:aa:68:5a:d5:2d: are you sure you want
to continue connecting?

I do have a key for 192.1768.0.1 in /etc/ssh

So I tried it again with the ip address instead of "server"

ssh -S /tmp/.ltspfs_socket 192.168.0.254 "/usr/sbin/ltspfsmounter /tmp add"

that got me:

root at 192.168.0.254's password:

I entered the password and got:

Error: /media/root is not mounted
Error: can't bindmount under /media/root/tmp: already mounted

I appreciate your help and ideas.

Thanks!

John
