[Pkg-ltsp-devel] Bug#775700: ltspfs: Thin client cannot access USB DVD drive

[Michael Pope]

Package: ltspfs
Version: 1.4-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Booting the thin client with the USB DVD drive connected and DVD
inserted the user can see the contents of the DVD. If I remove the DVD
and insert it again whilst logged in, the DVD does not show up in
/media/<user>/cdrom.

Booting with the USB DVD drive without the DVD inserted, then logging in
and inserting the DVD it doesn't work

Booting without the usb dvd attached, logging in and then attaching the
USB DVD drive and inserting the DVD doesn't work either.

So there is a work around at the moment the user just has to shutdown
and insert the USB DVD & the dvd itself before booting off the server.

If I run a localapp using (ltsp-localapp xterm) and do a 'dmesg' on the thin client 
I can see the DVD drive. I can also mount it locally in /mnt and see the contents.

If I boot the thin client with the USB DVD drive connected at boot it will show up. . If I remove the DVD
and insert it again whilst logged in, the DVD does not show up in /media/<user>/cdrom.

USB flash drives work on the client no problem. All users are in the cdrom group. I've also tested using a
thin client which has an internal DVD drive and I can use this internal DVD drive successfully, inserting
DVD's on the thin client at any time will show up properly in the file manager.

I should be able to connect a USB DVD drive on any thin client and it show the disk.
