Need testers for LTSP thin client device popup in KDE

[Petter Reinholdtsen <pere@hungry.com>]

The last few days Vagrant and I have been looking into how to get LTSP
thin clients to get a popup in KDE when a USB stick and other local
devices are inserted on the client.  The work and progress is
documented in bug #575031.

One approach we considered is to use hal to notify KDE about the LTSP
mounts.  This script should implement this approach.  Can someone with
a LTSP test lab test how this approach work when several users are
logged into the same server and insert USB sticks on their thin
client.  What happen if a USB stick is inserted on the server itself?

tjener:~# cat /etc/ltspfs/mounter.d/hal-notify
#!/bin/sh

case "$1" in
    add)
        mountpoint="$2"
        devname=$(basename "$mountpoint")
        halname="storage_serial_LTSP_$devname"
        cat <<EOF | hal-device --add "$halname"
block.is_volume = true  (bool)
block.storage_device = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/$halname'  (string)
storage.removable = true  (bool)
storage.hotpluggable = true  (bool)
info.capabilities = {'volume', 'block'} (string list)
info.category = 'volume'  (string)
info.interfaces = {'org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume'} (string list)
info.product = 'LTSP $devname'  (string)
info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer'  (string)
volume.fstype = 'ltspfs'  (string)
volume.fsusage = 'filesystem'  (string)
volume.ignore = false  (bool)
volume.is_disc = false  (bool)
volume.is_mounted = true  (bool)
volume.is_mounted_read_only = false  (bool)
volume.is_partition = false  (bool)
volume.label = ''  (string)
volume.mount_point = '$mountpoint'  (string)
EOF
        ;;
    remove)
        mountpoint="$2"
        devname=$(basename "$mountpoint")
        halname="storage_serial_LTSP_$devname"
        hal-device --remove "$halname"
        ;;
    cleanup)
        # XXX Not quite sure what is supposed to happen here
        ;;

Happy hacking,
