    raspberry pi pcmonitor status FAIL

    in Linux

    Posted

    If you got no response for cat /var/log/syslog | grep pcmonitor, it means you have no such errors. 

    Can we get more details on your system : which os for raspberry , the output for uname -a , the config file you are using (remove sensitive data ) .

    Also make sure pcmonitor is running by issuing ps aux | grep pcmonitord

    The last output you included seems to point to some connection issues. When you said it died , did you mean crashed or was it just offline do to connection issues ?

    Hello.

     

    Please give us more info about your machine .

     

    Result of uname -a and your config file (please remove sensitive information) would be useful.

    Waking PC - any special setup?

    I just asked your phone model to have a complete picture of your setup.

     

    Now let's divide this in 2 parts :

     

    1. is your computer configured correctly for wake on lan. (a possible test solution is to send a magic packet from another computer or phone in the same lan . there are a lot of free apps available out there)

    2. is the wake on wan port configured in pc monitor , and forwarded on the router (you can check the PC Monitor Manager and maybe install a sniffer like winshark to see if the packages arrive at the computer)

    Hi,

     

    Can you post the result of the command uname -a.

     

    Also, please make sure that uname -c is set to unlimited , and send us the core file created in /var/pcmonitor. If that still doesn't work stop the abrtd daemon and try again

    Installation tutorial

    in Linux

    Posted

    Supported Linux Distributions

    1. Debian based: Debian 6 or newer and Ubuntu 12.04 or newer
    2. RPM based: CentOS 6 or newer, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 or newer, Oracle Linux 6 or newer, Fedora 16 or newer

    Choosing  the right package

     

    First step when installing is to choose the right package from http://www.pulseway.com/downloads. You should consider your Linux distribution (debian or rpm based) and if you have a 32 or 64 bit machine.

    To determine the latest use the Linux command: 

    uname -m

    If the result of this command is something like i386,i586 or i686 then it's a 32bit machine if it's x86_64 then it's a 64bit machine.

     

    Installing

    Now , that you have downloaded the right install package you have to use one of 2 commands depending on the Linux distribution:

    dpkg -i <package name>.deb

    or

    rpm -ihv <package name>.rpm

    If all went well now you should have Pulseway installed on the machine. You should configuring the machine by creating a /etc/pulseway/config.xml file  using the sample located at /etc/pulseway/config.xml.sample

     

    Example

    We will provide two examples , first will be a Debian 6 32 bit machine and the second a Fedora 17 64 bit machine

    wakeup command failed when on 3g

    in Android

    Posted

    Hello,

     

    The fact that wake up is working when you are on the home wifi proves that the Wake on LAN is working for that computer. 

    Unfortunately , Wake on LAN works, as the name implies, on LAN . So, the solution is, you either have another device on that LAN (either the android phone when you issue the wake command or another computer with PC Monitor) or use Wake on WAN.

    PING via app not equal to real ping

    in Bugs

    Posted

    Hello,

     

    PCMonitor uses the ping command to determine latency times, but it only sends one package. If it displays a value of 24 that means that at some time the command ping <your address> returned a value of 24. But, the fact that you are getting a notification means that the threshold is constantly exceeded during x configured minutes.

     

    I am not sure why you are seeing this large gaps between PC Monitor and console. Could a firewall limit the number of requests per second maybe ? Are you running PCMonitor as root ? If not are there any limitations applied to that user  ?
