Thin client not registering with epoptes

Hello David,

Please start epoptes from a terminal before booting any clients, then boot ltsp20, login and paste here all the output you get in the terminal (there is some debugging information printed by default). Also please paste your /var/log/epoptes.log.

Thank you,
Fotis

Fotis,

This is probably a silly question, but how do I start from a terminal? I'm only aware of using the init scripts with service epoptes start/stop/restart. Same for the epoptes-client. Or are you referring to the epoptes GUI? I"ve pasted the output from the epoptes.log below, the output from /usr/bin/epoptes (GUI) below that.

I stopped/started epoptes (service epoptes stop ; service epoptes start)

I then started epoptes in a GUI. After the GUI was up, I booted ltsp20, and logged in. I didn't get a notification until after logging in. I next booted a different thin client and booted it, and then logged in with a different account. Both account logins are registered, but only the second machine. Very strange.

Hi,

put these under [Default] in lts.conf:
SCREEN_02=shell
SCREEN_07=ldm

On the server, open gnome-terminal, and run: epoptes
Boot ltsp20 (the client with the problem). Watch the epoptes GUI while the client boots, to see if you get any connected / immediately disconnected notifications.

When ltsp20 reaches the login screen, *don't* login.
Press Alt+Ctrl+F2 on ltsp20 to switch to a console. There, run: epoptes-client
...and then check if ltsp20 is now shown in the epoptes GUI.

Finally, attach here the output of both commands that you issued, `epoptes` on the server, and `epoptes-client` on the client console.
