Epoptes

Epoptes clients miniatures disconnects all the time

Asked by Eduardo Henrique Bezerra de Melo Cruz

Hi there! First of all, i'd like to tell you that Epoptes is a wonderful tool, and it's saved our project of working with Linux on the schools around here (Recife, Pernambuco - Brazil).

We've managed to install and configure a whole lab, with notebooks and a wireless connection for all clients (20 notebooks).

The only problem we have, is that some miniatures of the clients keep disconnecting from the main interface of the server (miniature goes red with the letters STD on them). It's not always the same clients, but they drop by chance.

It's there anyway that we can solve this? Where can I find the log of epoptes-client, in case this helps?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

try running 'epoptes' from e.g. gnome-terminal from the teacher PC,
and 'epoptes-client' from the student PCs,
and watch their output for errors.

You might also be able to extract that info for previous failures from each user's ~/.xsession-errors.

Note that epoptes-client doesn't yet have a reconnection feature, so if you're having networking problems and your clients disconnect, you'd need to prevent that from happening.
