[REQUEST] Epoptes

archivus · 2014-04-13 00:46:52

Hello, my English is a translator, first thanks for your work.

I am requesting the EPOPTES package.

EPOPTES is opensource software educational, not in AUR.
All educational "DISTROS" (Edubuntu, Huayra linux, Debian edu, etc.) use the EPOPTES application. I think it would be very useful to teachers who use GNU/Linux. In my work as a teacher, EPOPTES use daily, like millions of other teachers. It would be very useful to be present in AUR.
My apologies, I can not build the package EPOPTES.
Thank you again.

"Epoptes is an open source computer lab management and monitoring tool. It allows for screen broadcasting and monitoring, remote command execution, message sending, imposing restrictions like screen locking or sound muting the clients and much more!"

Sorry for my English, but it was clear, please let me know.

Are you requesting a aur package of epoptes?

The Black Fox · 2014-04-13 03:19:36

Looks like he is, from the context of what he is writing and the forum he posted in, I think so. I used to work tech support and I often had to decipher "Engrish" (Not saying his English is bad, just unclear, since most English is more direct compared to other languages and if he used a translator it can come out funny)

Archivus, if its easier for you we have an international (Non-English speaker) section here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewforum.php?id=30, try posting there your question if we're off point.

I don't have the time at the moment given that it'll be a bzr-based build (pain), but I will look into it later tonight if someone hasn't already.

All the best,

Yes. I am requesting the EPOPTES package.

archivus · 2014-04-13 12:56:27

HalosGhost, henriqueleng, The Black Fox, Thanks for your reply.

HalosGhost · 2014-04-13 15:47:16

Okay, I don't really have a great way of testing it, but it builds and installs properly, so I'm gonna call it good for a first pass. Since I do not have a use-case for it, I do not feel comfortable maintaining it; whoever would like to maintain it, feel free to do so.

The initial run of the package is up on the ALUR.

If this works for you, please remember to add [Solved] to the beginning of your thread title. In the future, the way the requests section is supposed to go is that you do your best to write a functional package and then post here when you run into trouble; at that point, you should post what you have so far, and we'll help you figure it out rather than just giving you a package. That way, you learn how to fish

All the best,

-HG

Thank you. I do not understand what you say, the translator is not so good.

I Install Epoptes from AUR. Installs perfect.
No running in KDE 4.12.4. Try to run but after a moment and simply does not open.

I hope you understand this English translator. Many thank you very much for your work.

Can you provide any error output so we can help trouble-shoot? Also, if you're not comfortable with English, we do have an "Other languages" board.

All the best,

Hi, sorry again for the communicative difficulty.

In the terminal (konsole) get this
---------------------------------------------------------
[sakura @ PC-ga-880 ~] $ epoptes
   File "/ usr / bin / epoptes", line 66
     print "Connection with epoptes failed:"
                                            ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
-------------------------------------------------------
and
------------------------------------------------------
[sakura@PC-ga-880 ~]$ sudo epoptes
[sudo] password for sakura:
File "/usr/bin/epoptes", line 66
print "Connection with epoptes failed:"
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
--------------------------------------------------------

Is this useful?

Thanks

Maybe it's a python2 script? After changing the first line of /usr/bin/epoptes to

#!/usr/bin/python2

I get a different error:

$ epoptes
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/epoptes", line 30, in <module>
    import epoptes
ImportError: No module named epoptes

Yes, but, in the future, always post code or terminal output in code tags

like so

I don't have a very good way of testing this, but I imagine this is a result of not properly setting up the daemon.

I doubt that, since the error that Python throws for you makes it sound like it can't import epoptes at all, whereas archivus's error is failing to connect to the daemon; makes it seem like the issue is in user-setup.

All the best,

Hi, this might have something to do?

There are two fundamental problems with the transfer: The different structure of the directories and library names. Although there may be a third: systemd; since all derived from Debian to date use initv or upstream.

Thanks

archivus · 2014-04-16 03:39:00

Good. I appreciate the effort. Thanks for trying.

I got it working with help from lbssousa [https://launchpad.net/~lbssousa]. I edited the PKGBUILD created by HalosGhost and I've been trying to upload an updated PKGBUILD and tarball with everything needed but I haven't found a way of doing so.
Let me know if you're still interested.

I now own the Epoptes package and have uploaded a modified version based on the package submited by HalosGhost. Please, download it and try it out. Let me know of any issue you may encounter and I'll try to resolve it in a timely manner.
Merry Christmas to you all!
