After a few days of trying to get this working with a hardy upgrade and making a total mess of things, I thought I would share how I fixed it - for anyone else struggling like I did.
Assuming https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebugLocalDev has been followed and Step 4 fails... 1: Make sure your client root is properly up to date - just using ltsp- build-client didn't seem to work, even when I deleted my original gutsy client root and images. sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/ sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 mount -t proc proc /proc apt-get update apt-get upgrade # you should see some ltsp packages being updated as well as anything else out of date umount /proc exit sudo ltsp-update-image 2: If you have been struggling for days, then perhaps you have messed with a few files on the server while trying out other howtos, so check: ls -l /bin/fusermount # should output the following owner,group,permissions. -rwsr-xr-- 1 root fuse 20056 2008-02-27 04:55 /bin/fusermount If its not correct, just reinstall using: sudo apt-get install --reinstall fuse-utils ...and, if you think you may have messed with ltspfsmounter, reinstall it with: sudo apt-get install --reinstall ltspfs Now just reboot the client machine and test your CD's and USB -- Local devices don't work because an X11 authentication problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/160420 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
