The application has a way to redirect hot-plugged USB devices to the remote desktop. But none of that currently works. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install net-misc/icaclient 2. connect to a remote desktop 3. plug a USB device like a storage device Actual Results: USB device will not show up on remote, but instead will show on host. Expected Results: USB device should show up on remote, maybe not anymore on host. There are multiple executables which we do not install with +x. There is an init script for a daemon for which we do not have an init.d or systemd service. There are udev rules which we do not install in /etc There is a config file which we do not carry as "config file", so if it ever works and users want to configure it, the configuration will be lost on reinstall or update. This likely never worked in gentoo, but would be nice to get working.
please assign to me, i am already on it
There is a debian package that is split-out, it does keep the x-bits and installs ICAROOT/usr/ into ICAROOT and does some changes to that module.ini to enable the plugin. We should likely "USE=usb" and do the same, where we bring a daemon. But so far i could not make it work. Which might be because i still miss some bits, or because the citrix server i happen to have access to does not allow USB device redirection. I already could see a new icon in the window, but it did not list any devices when opened.
i do have code for that here https://github.com/henning-schild/gentoo/tree/henning/staging4 but this link will not work for a very long time since i might force push it and what you see might be totally unrelated but i will only force push after proposing a solution, so the code will be visible in the gentoo tree ... given it can be merged what i have does not work for me because my server likely does not allow usb devices, but comparing it to ubuntu and the deb packages ... i am pretty sure it could work for others and behaves like ubuntu for me if anyone using icaclient does use "usb redirection", please do test that i will likely propose it for a merge even without anyone testing because it "likely works" because it is like "ubuntu" ... only i can not test but would be willing to maintain anyhow Nothing could go wrong really ... since nobody ever complained ... i opened this bug as a maintainer, not a user
i managed to test this after all and will proceed suggesting patches

There are udev rules and a daemon but none of that seems needed. Users need to be in 'usb' group, mention that in postinst. Since we have an increasing number of changes to module.ini and the user might in fact also want to change stuff (like i.e. FIDO2), we move the file to /etc. Same goes for usb.conf in which users can customize which USB devices can be redirected.
