Hi, I'm having some trouble running Fl_Teachertool on Gutsy. When Fl_Teachertool starts up I get a dialogue saying no users connected, which isn't true. I've tried grepping with the command specified:
ps eaxww|grep "bash --login -c"|grep "LTSP_CLIENT"|grep PPID|grep -v grep and get nothing. Tried with sudo as well, same result. I'm assuming something must have changed in Gutsy as to how users are detected, but its a shame because my teachers started using this a lot and were praising it to high heaven. Now we're a bit stuck using tcm, which leaves a lot to be desired. Any help to get it to work would be much appreciated. Kind Regards, David Van Assche On Nov 17, 2007 2:58 AM, R.
