Hi,
I have a s50 with a RDP and a XDMCP connections. I would like to use usb peripherals (mostly usb key) from my Linux server (xdmcp).
Is there a way to configure the wyse thin client to access to this key from the server ?
I have installed an ssh server on the wyse (addon sshd) and i can see, when i put an usb key that it is mounted on a specific directory. I need an ‘user friendly’ method to access to the usb key from the server.
I have an similar problem with the sound. Is there an esd ou artsd server which runs on th wyse S50 ?Thanks for your help.

Hi,
It is possible to use usb key with floppyd daemon (it’s just a binary file). Copy the floppyd program on the wyse and launch it with the root account (something like floppyd -r root /dev/sda1). The daemon can be launch automatically with modify the /etc/rc.d/rc.services
On the Linux server, use the mtools to access to the key. If you use KDE, it’s very simple with konqueror.
I can explain the method in details if someone is interested.Moreover, if anyone knows how to make proper addons (if it is possible), I will appreciate some help for my method.

Hi barthelo,
great info.
You can download an addon admin guide from my website (Products – Linux). This explains in details how to create Wyse .pak files.Cheers
CGHi,
I just made a addon (.pak) for the FloppyD daemon : it contains the binary (floppyd) and a script file that launch the daemon.
If someone is interessed, do not hesitate to contact me.christophe
Hi barthelo,
I would really like to post this, zip it up and email the file, please use the ‘Add Downloads” on this site and post up some details on the add-on, I will link the file after you submit it.
Thanks so much for contributing this!,
Cheers,
-TTIt’s a very simple way : i took the binary FloppyD from the debian distribution (etch), made a copy to the wyse and launch it with the command line : floppyd -r root -s 5704 /dev/sda1 locahost
After that, you just have to plug the usb key in hte wyse and use the mtools to have access to the key.
It’s more simple, for KDE users, to use Konqueror : you just have to write ‘floppy:/x’ the the location bar.The mtools use the port 5703+number of display to connect to the floppyD daemon. In my case, i use only the first display (echo $DISPLAY -> test-wyse:1.0), and i have fixed the port of floppyd to 5704.
I put the .pak file in the download section (name : floppyd)
Sincelery,

and concerning the sound ?
did you find a solution, because I have the same problem than you. I’m using a 7.10 ubuntu server + xdmcp + esound, and my s50 wyse can’t play any sound.
🙁
