4 x 2 Truss Connection

How do you typically connect a 2nd story wall to a floor truss, as well as a non bearing wall on the first floor.

Depends on the direction of the walls in relation to the floor joist. Perpendicular or parallel? Is the non-bearing wall a shear wall or just a partition wall? Is the wall above a shear wall?

A proper connection will requires the answers to all of those questions.

The detail shows roof trusses, but it will work for floor joists. BTW, in order to make the wall non-bearing, the joist must NOT rest on the wall. You will have a difficult time getting the framer to cut the studs for this wall short so that the wall does not bear.
