Some errors running teacher

[MikeyMan83]

Hi!

I'm having some errors running the teacher on a pi:

PuTTY X11 proxy: unable to connect to forwarded X server: Network error: Connection refused
PuTTY X11 proxy: unable to connect to forwarded X server: Network error: Connection refused
TKInter init failed couldn't connect to display "localhost:10.0"
Ini file exists
Connecting to MQTT server...
Connecting to MQTT server...
Connecting to MQTT server...
Starting eval loop, waiting Shelly devices to appear on MQTT announce... press CTRL-C to cancel

settings seem to be correct. Although i'm wondering about the different usage of ' , " and no brackets around the port.

data = { }
# -----------------------------------------------
# WARNING: If .ini file exists it will overwrite the default values below!
# -----------------------------------------------
data['mqtt_ip'] = '10.0.0.4' # mqtt server ip
data['mqtt_port'] = 1883        # mqtt server port
data['mqtt_user'] = ""          # mqtt server username
data['mqtt_pass'] = ""          # mqtt server password
data['discovery_prefix'] = 'shellies' # autodiscovery prefix for Domoticz
testrun = False
retain  = True   # if retain is True, config template will be saved onto mqtt broker permanently

data['gen1_template_file'] = 'mqtt_templates.txt'

Any thoughts?

You can run teacher with command line parameter -c and GUI errors wont appear. GUI was not intended to work through SSH, GUI is for folks who are using a real Linux Desktop with an attached monitor. Like me. If you are using a Windows desktop, you can use the precompiled Windows binary as it is written in the Readme.

I see no problem here. Teacher are connected to the MQTT server and awaiting announcement messages from the Shelly devices, which are already configured to connect to the same MQTT, as you must have seen in the video.

settings seem to be correct. Although i'm wondering about the different usage of ' , " and no brackets around the port.

Fortunately Python does not care if it is ' or ". Port is an integer and not a string.

Looks fine.
