E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), are you root?
06:22
and my account type is administrator
06:22
<alkisg>
That means that your computer is doing background updates (all you have the software center open) so you cannot install other programs at that time
06:24
<tech^PC-1>
no i close every thing only firefox and terminal
06:24
tech@PC-1:~$ apt-get install --install-recommends epoptes
06:24
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (13: Permission denied)

<alkisg>
Google for unattended updates and read what they are
06:25
You need to wait for the updates to finish
06:26
<quinox>
your PS1 says $ which usually isn't root. `sudo apt-get install --install-recommends epoptes`
06:26
or what alkis said; `ps aux | grep apt` to see background updates
06:26
<tech^PC-1>
i have only one user and it is administrator

OK so you have installed epoptes. What problem are you facing?
06:38
<tech^PC-1>
i donot see the clients
06:40
<alkisg>
Did you follow the installation page on the clients?
06:41
https://epoptes.org/installation/#client-package-installation
06:42
<tech^PC-1>
yes and i will try it now
06:44
<alkisg>
epoptes-client -c
06:44
Did you run that command ? did it work?
06:56
<tech^PC-1>
yes
06:56
i can see the client from my pc
07:03
<alkisg>
All OK now?
07:03
<tech^PC-1>
no
07:04
<alkisg>
tech^PC-1: do you want to share your screen with me so that we finish sooner? x11vnc -connect alkisg.ltsp.org
07:04
Do that from both the server and the client
07:04
<tech^PC-1>
i donot have server
07:04
my computer is administrator and the all pc's is client
07:05
<alkisg>
Yes I mean both the administrator pc and a client pc
07:06
<tech^PC-1>
i try login on client both ( administrator account + desktop account) all of them not see the computer
07:07
<alkisg>
Do you want help with screen sharing?

07:07
<tech^PC-1>
how?
07:08
<alkisg>
x11vnc -connect alkisg.ltsp.org
07:08
As I said, you run this in the terminal and it connects your screen with mine
07:09
tech^PC-1: nice, now do the same command in a client pc
07:11
Go to a client PC, open a terminal and run this: x11vnc -connect alkisg.ltsp.org
07:11
<tech^PC-1>
ok done
07:12
<alkisg>
I haven't received a connection. Did you type it correctly?
07:18
tech^PC-1: you didn't do the epopets-client installation steps, you did the epoptes-server installation steps
07:19
1) sudo apt purge --auto-remove epoptes
07:19
2) edit /etc/default/epoptes-client and put: SERVER=PC-1.local
07:19
3) run: sudo epoptes-client -c
07:19
4) reboot client and it should work
07:19
Please read the installation page, you didn't read it carefully
07:20
Now you can see PC1. You need to do these steps on the other PCs too
07:21
<tech^PC-1>

Hey Jan, everything's fine, although my father got hospitalized a few weeks ago, and when we got back home we brought company from the hospital, covid for everyone :D

08:30
