Re: [openthinclient-user] mount local disk [SOLVED]
-Original Message- [..] There's in fact a script that is run at startup, you just have to place it on the server, at /opt/openthinclient/server/default/data/nfs/root/custom So I created a script named mount_local_partitions.sh: #!/bin/bash LOCALDISK=/dev/sda fdisk -l $LOCALDISK | grep ^/dev | cut -d -f1 /etc/pmount.allow This may be a solution, but patching the server is not necessary and probably not so smart, because this cannot be applied to only specific ThinClients and could be overwritten by future updates of the OTC server. Try to create a new application of type command line with Autostart set to yes and the following command (untested): sudo sh -c 'echo /dev/sda2 /etc/pmount.allow' This should do the job as well. (Of course you have to configure your setup to make this application execute on your clients.)

The disk is formatted as FAT32, and shows up on File Browser, but when I try to access it, it fails with: Unable to mount the selected volume. error: device /dev/sad2 is not removable error: could not execute pmount With this information, it didn't take long to figure that if I login on the thinclient, and execute: echo /dev/sda2 /etc/pmount.allow I'm able to mount the disk, and use it on a remote desktop session (it shows up under 'media'). My problem is that when I reboot the ThinClient, that configuration is lost... So my question is: how can I automatically add the local disk partitions to /etc/pmount.allow, when the thinclient boots? Is there any script that is run at startup? Or is there a much simpler solution? Thanks in advance! Regards, Elio Coutinho --- --- vRanger cuts backup time in half-while increasing security.

Re: [openthinclient-user] mount local disk [SOLVED]
Hi Elio, Thanks Christoph! I've used that approach on another situation, but I don't like that a shortcut for the command appears on the desktop. Do you know how to prevent the icon from showing up? I never noticed that because my users never see a desktop. They get an automatically starting connection to a specific server and that's ist. ;-) But meanwhile Thomas posted a solution for this. As for the script, I've changed it to only list FAT partitions, as they seem to be the only ones fully supported: #!/bin/bash LOCALDISK=/dev/sda fdisk -l $LOCALDISK | grep -i ^/dev.*fat.* | cut -d -f1 /etc/pmount.allow Ok, you can put this in a command line application as well. On a side note, are there any plans for NTFS writing support? Many usb devices are NTFS formatted and it would be nice to be able to write to them. For now, they are mounted read-only: # dmesg NTFS driver 2.1.29 [Flags: R/O MODULE]. I'm not part of the development team, so I have no idea...

Re: [openthinclient-user] mount local disk [SOLVED]
Hi Elio, I've the same problem, when i try to run two commandline-scripts as autostart, only one is running. The second is ignored, i think this is a bug...! My workaround is a masterscript, that is autostarting und runs all other slave scripts. In the gui, i have for every combination of slave-scripts an application, so its flexible for the client, if not every client needs all scripts. My scripts are under .../custom/bin, but that is not so important, i think. Best regards Thomas Am 25.05.2011 14:03, schrieb Elio Coutinho: Nice going Thomas!

The other appears on the menu, but is ignored. Is this a bug? I ended up creating a directory named 'bin' on the server, at /opt/openthinclient/server/default/data/nfs/root/bin/ and placed my script there.

Re: [openthinclient-user] rdesktop only passes first three characters of login to Virtual Desktop
Hey, meanwhile rdesktop 1.70 is available which might fix this issue. OTC should integrate it into the system. freerdp ist the alternative, but frequently updated and not yet real stable. I second that a RDP client (rdesktop/freerdp) is a vital parts of OTC and therefore they should be adjusted as frequently as possible to the most recent versions/patchlevels.
