Troubleshooting

• Run shotfactory.py -h (or --help) to see a list of command line options.
• Run shotfactory.py -v (or --verbose) to see more output, including error messages from helper programs.
• Run shotfactory.py -vvv (very very verbose) to also see all the commands that are run by the script.
• On Linux, you can run xvncviewer :1 to see the virtual screen of the VNC server while a screenshot request is processed.
• You can also look at the files ????-pgdn01.ppm or ????.png (where ???? is the request number) to see if there's a problem.
• The file shotfactory.log contains error messages for failed screenshot requests.
• If you use screen -L, the file screenlog.0 will contain the full output of the shotfactory script.
• On Windows, if you run shotfactory.exe directly with a double click, the terminal window may be closed immediately when an error occurs. Try to start the terminal first and then run the program from the command line to avoid this issue.
• The factory details page shows recent errors for your factory, with links to each screenshot.
• The FactoryErrors page explains the factory error numbers with some hints how to fix them.
• The FrequentlyAskedQuestions#Runningascreenshotfactory page has a section with specific factory errors too.
