Is there outputs / logs for teleport?

@yuchunc, this issue was actually resolved in a previous commit but has not yet been integrated in an official release. Did you build Teleport yourself or did you just download the latest release from the official website? Also, what operating system are you on?

If building from source does not help, let me know. I may actually need to make some updates so that the fix works on El Capitan (the current fix might only work on Yosemite or earlier; I haven't tested on El Capitan) and I'll submit a pull request for those changes as soon as possible.

The issue actually occurs because for some reason the computer can't locate the desktop wallpaper image. This can happen if either a) you haven't changed the wallpaper since your OS update or b) you have the "Change picture every ..." setting selected in Desktop & Screen Saver in System Preferences.

So, if building from source does not work on your El Capitan system, I suggest you change your wallpaper to some static image. This will need to be done on the computer that you are connecting to (the slave). This will just be a temporary fix until I submit my pull request and it gets merged.

Sounds good!
Thanks for all your help!

@yuchunc, you can check out the logs using the Console app on your Mac. It's located in Applications/Utilities/Console. You can search for related issues by typing "Teleport" in the search bar.

What specific issues are you having?

Hi @egirsova, my work Mac can find my Laptop but is having trouble connecting to it.
I reestablished the trusted host, and got the following messages in the laptop's console:

The pair works sometime, but never over office's 5ghz wifi.

Hope I provided enough information on the issue. :)

Oh Cool, I will try building it from source then.
I am using the version downloaded from the official site, also I am using 10.11.3 for Work Computer, and just updated to 10.11.4 for my laptop.
Is there some direction to building it from source?

[yuchunc]

Ah~~ I do have the "Change picture every X" setting enabled on both machine. I will try both disable that right now and building from source.
Report back here for the results.

Thank you so much for the fast response!! 😄 🎆

@yuchunc, no problem! I just submitted a pull request that should also support El Capitan, in case the current source does not work for you.

@yuchunc, also, I just realized that I never responded to your question regarding if there are special instructions to build from source. There shouldn't be any difficulties if you just open the Xcode project file and build using Xcode. But, if you run into trouble, let me know and I'll try my best to help you out.
