Ok, i think i solved this issue :-) 1. remove /usr/local/bin/LDA-* ( you will not need them ) and their activation lines from the kdm/gdm scripts
2. add two new file ( one for Floppy and one for CD ) cd /usr/local/bin touch open_floppy.sh;touch open_cd.sh edit "open_floppy.sh" so it includes... #!/bin/bash exec konqueror smb://$LTSP_CLIENT/drives/floppy/ and "open_cd.sh" ... #!/bin/bash exec konqueror smb://$LTSP_CLIENT/drives/cdrom/ set both exec permission ( "chmod +x ./open*" ) now, add two more .desktop files into the user's Desktop folder. ( i use kde's kiosk-tool , so i just put it in the main Desktop folder which every one sees ) files: Open_Floppy.desktop and Open_CD.desktop here what Open_Floppy.desktop includes... [Desktop Entry] Comment= Comment[en_US]= Encoding=UTF-8 Exec='/usr/local/bin/open_floppy.sh' GenericName=open floppy drive GenericName[en_US]=open floppy drive Icon=3floppy_unmount MimeType= Name=floppy A Name[en_US]=floppy A Path= StartupNotify=true Terminal=false TerminalOptions= Type=Application X-DCOP-ServiceType= X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false X-KDE-Username= set open_cd.desktop too, so that it points to "open_cd.sh". and you're set ! to go :-) clicking (or double-clicking) on the icons will open up the local media directly. and very responsive too. removing the media and inserting it again will show media's content immediately. no mount or remount... i hope it helps :-) Nadav On Friday 20 January 2006 21:39, Gustavo Guillermo Pérez wrote: > El Viernes, 20 de Enero de 2006 11:33, Ken Tanzer escribió: > > Well so two of us seem to be having this problem.
