Re: Problems installing Epoptes for "diskless workstation"
Hi Wolfgang,
I did more tests today with Epoptes on "diskless workstation".
Service epoptes-client fails to start upon booting. The reason seems to be that the server certificate file is missing. I can manually run the following command on the client via console to fetch the certificate:
/usr/sbin/epoptes-client -c
Then I can start the epoptes-client service and Epoptes works fine.
I think the above should be done upon booting, right? How is this done?
Another question:
The Epoptes admin gui is missing on "diskless workstation". Therefore a teacher can't use Epoptes to assist the kids unless he switches to "thin client". How can this be added for "diskless workstation" as well?
Kind regards,
Roman
