Edubuntu 7.04 still not working: thumb drives/local dev

[john]

Hi Scott,

One last thing. I have a script in /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default that
makes users desktops be a symlink to an nfs mounted share on another
server. It doesn't seem to me that this would stop the usb device from
at least showing up in /media would it?

Here's the script:

# Name of desktop itself
dt=$HOME/Desktop
store=/mnt/ALLSTUDENTS/2*/$USER

# Create desktop if not present yet
if [ ! -e $dt ]
then
    # N.B., must fix for y3k compatibility
    ln -s $store $dt
fi


Thanks,

John
