Hi Alkis. Thanks for your reply. I have done those steps you described but no result. Beside that I removed and reinstalled epoptes using the stable repository, as it is described here - https://epoptes.org/documentation/ppa/ - but I steel cannot see any client in server. Is there anything to do in server side, beside from installing epoptes and allowing users to launch the GUI with the command gpasswd -a username epoptes??? |

Hi Panos, no you don't need to do anything else in the server. You can verify that the epoptes service is running by issuing The problem is in the clients. When you fetched the certificate, did it report success? What happens if you run Btw, Greek schools have better support in http://alkisg.mysch.gr/steki/index.php?board=67.0. |

Hi Pano. In the clients, you're not supposed to have epoptes installed. You only need epoptes-client there. So, try these: sudo -i
apt install epoptes-client
apt purge --auto-remove epoptes
epoptes-client -c
reboot |

Alkis sorry to write so late, thanks a lot for your help. I thinks it's worth to mention that you solved the problem by declaring static IP to server and then putting that IP and the server name to /etc/hosts. Thanks again. |

Hi. I am writing to you for a problem with epoptes. We have a school lab with 11 PCs, Intel E52xx with 1GB Ram, except 1 with 3GB. Because they are very old and we don't have a gigabit switch but 3-4 switches, the one connected to another, we decided to install Lubuntu 18.04 LTS in every computer adn we can say that they work quickly enough. The PC with 3GB Ram is the theacher's one and here we want to run epoptes. We followed the guide here -https://epoptes.org/installation/ - but we cannot see any client. I have to say that every PC has hostname like 3lab-pc1, 3lab-pc2 etc. and there is a root user with username USER. Furthermore, because we don't have static IPs I did those steps in every PC
If this works, then put that name in /etc/default/epoptes-client. On each client, run:
sudo nano /etc/default/epoptes-client
and replace the line that says
#SERVER=server
with
SERVER=epoptes-server.local
After you do (2) or (3), you should also fetch the epoptes certificate on each client:
sudo epoptes-client -c
And then you should restart the client:
sudo reboot
and i used the name 3lab-pc1.local for server.
can you give me any help? Thanks
