| 17:45 | <julienfayad> hey alkisg I digged a bit deeper into my USB mount issue
| |
| 17:45 | on FAT client the problem seems to be related to :
| |
| 17:46 | 1. The partition type used 2. The partition table used 3. The format
| |
| 17:46 | what appears to work is a GUID partition table with a fat partition —> it mounts automatically with no issue
| |
| 17:47 | but an MBR partition table with a fat partition is unable to mount automatically, yet a mount through terminal (ssh locally as root) works…
| |
| 17:47 | <vagrantc> that's mysterious
| |
| 17:47 | i've almost exclusively used MBR devices to test it
| |
| 17:47 | <julienfayad> (note that I need MBR to work so I can plug the USB to a printer which doesn’t recognise the disk if the partition table is GUID)
| |
| 17:48 | hey vagrantc, how are you ? well yeah that’s why I’m reporting my findings here
| |
| 17:48 | because this seems quite weird to me…
| |
| 17:49 | now since I read a bit about the process, maybe mount is able to mount the disk but fusermount is not (as from what I read, FUSE takes care of mounting USB sticks… ?)
| |
| 17:49 | but then the question would be why...
| |
| 17:50 | <vagrantc> it's always worked before
| |
| 17:51 | julienfayad: well, the mount process is done as root with the mount command on the local client
| |
| 17:51 | julienfayad: so fuse isn't involved there
| |
| 17:52 | julienfayad: fuse is only used for the server-side mount and transferring the data over the network
| |
| 17:52 | <julienfayad> so you are saying that when a user inserts a USB disk, the mount automatically happens as root ?
| |
| 17:52 | <vagrantc> yes
| |
| 17:52 | if you're talking about ltspfs
| |
| 17:53 | <julienfayad> well I’m not sure
| |
| 17:53 | what I know is that this is a FAT client not a thin one
| |
| 17:53 | <vagrantc> ideally, you wouldn't use any ltsp-specific code for that at all, then
| |
| 17:54 | for fat clients
| |
| 17:54 | julienfayad: the same setup works fine with the same distro version without running ltsp?
| |
| 17:55 | could try a live image or something
| |
| 17:55 | <julienfayad> I didn’t try that yet, let me try now
| |
| 17:56 | <vagrantc> what distro/version you trying?
| |
| 17:59 | <julienfayad> it is ubuntu 16.04 Mate
| |
| 17:59 | and yes same issue with the LIVE image
| |
| 18:01 | seems to be a Mate issue vagrantc ...
| |
| 18:02 | or maybe it’s a problem with the way I partition/format the usb key...
| |
| 18:04 | <vagrantc> alright, glad to see LTSP is off the hook :)
| |
| 18:08 | <julienfayad> hehe yes
| |
| 18:19 | ohh also since I’m here, do you know why changing the keyboard layout in the initial login screen doesn’t have any effect ?
| |
| 18:20 | explicitly, I have a machine with an azerty keyboard
| |
| 18:20 | <highvoltage> hey there vagrantc
| |
| 18:20 | <julienfayad> and I managed to add Fr_fr local, so French is listing in the Keyboard Input list of the login screen… but changing it has no effect it still inputs as a qwerty keyboard
| |
| 18:20 | * vagrantc waves | |
| 18:21 | <highvoltage> vagrantc: have you done any ltsp stretch artworky stuff yet? I'm installing a chroot to poke around at it now fwiw
| |
| 18:21 | <vagrantc> julienfayad: LDM doesn't have a keyboard switcher, as far as i'm aware
| |
| 18:21 | highvoltage: haven't touched it!
| |
| 18:21 | highvoltage: would love it if you took a stab at it :)
| |
| 18:22 | * vagrantc doesn't recall if ldm-themes has a VCS in debian... | |
| 18:22 | <highvoltage> vagrantc: I can also remember we talked about native vs quilt package for it last time but can't remember what the conclusion was (whether we should keep it native or make an upstream git repository with tarball)
| |
| 18:22 | <vagrantc> julienfayad: so if you're using some other login manager ... dunno.
| |
| 18:23 | highvoltage: since it's debian-specific themes, i don't see much reason to make it non-native
| |
| 18:23 | <highvoltage> vagrantc: if it has, it's not listed in the vcs-fields
| |
| 18:23 | (so I doubt it)
| |
| 18:23 | vagrantc: cool
| |
| 18:23 | <vagrantc> highvoltage: i *might* have toyed with using dgit with it at some point
| |
| 18:24 | julienfayad: LDM has locale selection only, as far as i know, and it only changes the locale of the session, not LDM itself
| |
| 18:24 | <julienfayad> vagrantc: so the select language for session to use has no effect on the keyboard ? Then how I can set a specific machine to have French keyboard layout on LDM ?
| |
| 18:24 | <vagrantc> julienfayad: you can't!
| |
| 18:25 | julienfayad: oh, a specific machine ... i think there are lts.conf options for that
| |
| 18:25 | !lts.conf | echo julienfayad
| |
| 18:25 | <ltsp> julienfayad lts.conf: (#1) http://manpages.ubuntu.com/lts.conf, or (#2) lts.conf manpage is available in the ltsp-docs package
| |
| 18:26 | * vagrantc wonders if the bot wandered off for snacks or soemthing | |
| 18:27 | <julienfayad> Not even through an lts.conf directive ?
| |
| 18:27 | lol
| |
| 18:27 | I’m checking it
| |
| 18:27 | I’m trying XKBLAYOUT now
| |
| 18:28 | <vagrantc> unfortunately, the software world caters to my native language tendencies, so i'm not very well versed in in such issues
| |
| 18:36 | <julienfayad> vagrantc: that was it :-)
