[Ltsp-discuss] rdesktop usb redirection black screen

[Funke, Martin]

Hello list,

in lts.conf i configured my clients as followed:

SCREEN_07=rdesktop –r disk:usb=/media/ -f -z SERVER

The only thing I get is a black screen and that’s it. When I use this on my local installed Ubuntu 14.04 everything works fine.
In ltsp environment there is only a black screen. Does someone know a why its like that?

Best regards
Martin

Hi,

so i found the issue that causes a black screen.

I changed my lts.conf to:

SCREEN_07=rdesktop
RDP-SERVER=Server_ip
RDP_OPTIONS=”-r disk:Drive=/mnt/usb”

In /etc/fstab I added /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb auto defaults 0 0

With this I can access my data only when my pen drive is plugged before I start the client.

Does anyone know any other solution to change pen drive while client is running?

Best regards

Have you tried the instructions in "13.3 RDP + Local Devices" of the
LTSP manual? It's available in the ltsp-docs package, in
/usr/share/docs/ltsp/. Since I couldn't find it on the internet, I've
uploaded a copy of it here:

http://cascadia.debian.net/~vagrant/ltsp/LTSPManual.html#idp3097256


Some of it is a bit dated, but a lot of it is still valid.

Thx for your help but the howto didn’t work for me.

Through trial and error I found a way for me to get it working.

On the ltsp server I created /mnt/usb in /etc/ltsp/ltsp/ltsp-update-image-excludes I removed /mnt.

With apt-get install usbmount I installed a tool for automounting. In /etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf you can add in MOUNTPOINTS="/mnt/usb

Im not really sure if usbmount is really necessary but with all this its working.

Best regards
Martin
