connected to USB multiseat devices. The "onboard" station cannot be configured for auto-login.
For instructions on how to configure autologin, please see this How To.
Playing Video Files
Video files can be played simply by double-clicking on the file icon. With Userful MultiSeat, this will open
Totem (Ubuntu's default movie player). With Userful MultiSeat Linux, this will open the video in MPlayer.
Using the CD/DVD Drive
The CD/DVD drive on the host PC is considered to be shared storage. This means that when media is first
inserted into the optical drive, it will be accessible to all users; however, only the station that mounts the
drive will have access to it after it is mounted.
Using Flash Drives
USB storage devices (flash drives) will be assigned to individual stations, and accessible to that station,
only if the drive is plugged into a USB multiseat device being used by that station.
A flash drive plugged into a USB port on the host computer, or any other port where assignment is unclear,
will be treated as a shared device. This means that when the flash drive is initially plugged in, an icon
(labelled "Mount (New_Volume)") will appear on every logged-in station, and all logged-in users will be able
to mount the device. Once the flash drive is mounted (a new icon appears, "New_Volume"), only the user
mounting it will have access. Flash drives must be unmounted (by clicking on the "Unmount
(New_Volume)" icon).
Using Digital Cameras
Today's digital cameras use either a mass storage protocol (like USB flash drives) or the newer Picture
Transfer Protocol (PTP); many cameras can use both. Check your camera's documentation to learn which
protocol it uses.
To access pictures using a mass storage protocol, simply treat the camera as a flash drive.
To access pictures using the PTP protocol, it is easiest to use picture management software.
