Epoptes

Problem with thumbnails

Asked by Isi

Hi,

I am running Epoptes on Debian 8 on both client and server and are also both running Xfce.

I have tried to run version from debian ppa and everything working fine except thumbnails.

So, I have added backports ppa to get last version (0.5.10).

Nothing changes. Computers appears as a red "std" logo but no thumbnails.

epotes-client -c command reports no errors.

Manual command to generate thumbs is working ( /usr/share/epoptes-client/screenshot 100 100 | wc --bytes)

Should I have to had somes libs to get it working ?

Thanks for your help.

Regards

Login to the client.
Open a terminal and run:
/usr/sbin/epoptes-client

See if with that you get thumbnails.
If not, what was the output of the epoptes-client command?

Hi,

Thanks for your quick answer.

IRC Channels to don't be active this day.

I was running client with sudo to avoid kill by student.

It seems to be solved with restard option of xfce.

Student can kill process but It relauched.

epoptes-client by default runs both as root (to control the system) as as the user (to control the session).
Both processes are automatically restarted if they are killed (as long as you're using 0.5.10 for both the client and the server).
In IRC, you ask the question and then you may need to wait from a few seconds to several hours for an answer, or even try again another day.
