[Bug 1376552] [NEW] Epoptes clients disconnect from server randomly

 

Public bug reported:

Normally, if a user is logged into a machine, epoptes displays an icon
of the user's screen and shows user information etc.

However, sometimes the icon turns to the "fat" icon mid-session, without
the user having logged out. I understand that this means that the
epoptes client has disconnected from the epoptes server.

We get this about 2 - 3 times per day on different clients (no
noticeable pattern as to which clients). We have about 35 fat clients.
Once it happens, it stays that way - the user's screen never returns.

If I monitor such a machine, the monitoring works fine (VNC window opens
showing user's desktop etc.).

I've attached a screenshot showing client 152 (fat icon), it's
properties (blank), and the VNC session associated with that client
(active user session).

Happy to provide any diagnostic info!
