Question #206412 on Epoptes changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/epoptes/+question/206412

Alkis Georgopoulos proposed the following answer:
The problem most probably is that you have epoptes installed on the clients.
By design, the "system" epoptes-client, the one that you tried to launch with sudo, refuses to run on the epoptes "server", because that's where usually the teacher works, and he usually doesn't want other people controlling his computer.

Check lines 173 and below of /usr/sbin/epoptes-client:
# We don't want the epoptes-client system service running on the epoptes server
if ( [ $UID -eq 0 ] && [ $TYPE = "standalone" ] && [ -x /usr/bin/epoptes ] ) ||
    chrooted
then
    exit 0
fi

So if that's actually the cause, the solution is to remove the epoptes
package from the clients, but keep the epoptes-client package.
