[Bug 1341278] Re: Wake-on-LAN doesn't work on 64-bit hosts

 

Hi... I want share how to fix this bug if you want need it quickly. I've
added a library called netifaces because when i use alkisg's patch,
object netifaces not defined. I google it and found this module. Try to
workaround to install the module and try to WOL my client from Epoptes
GUI and it works! Here's the fix:

1. Use alkisg's fix above and the current file is in /usr/lib/python2.7
/dist-packages/epoptes/core/wol.py

2. In script, add import netifaces below import fcntl

3. To install netifaces module, i use pip. Install the pip from
terminal: sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev.

4. Type in terminal: pip install netifaces

If you open the GUI while do this fix, I recommend to re-open the GUI.
Then, try the WOL and it should be fixed for now. Sorry for my bad
explanation because i'm a newcomer ._.
