Configure option not functioning (OS X 10.10.2 (14C109))

[aheritier]

I have a similar problem since several weeks. I upgraded to 1.2 but the problem is always here. I have 2 computers. One is using 10.10.2 and the other 10.10.3 dev preview. From 10.10.3 I can configure options to access to 10.10.2 and the remote access works. On 10.10.2 I don't have the button to configure the options to access to my 10.10.3 computer and the access doesn't work. I don't know how I could help you @abyssoft to solve this issue.

I don't know if these logs could be related to our issue

I had to quite teleport and relaunch on one of my machines to get the configuration window to appear.

[kwolk]

Yes, I find that you have to:

1. Quit Teleport
2. Quit System Preferences
3. Relaunch Finder
4. Start Teleport from System Preferences

Then you can access the Setting pane, it's a hassle, but it's the way.

[abyssoft]

teleport no longer lives in System Preferences though, it seems like you're launching the previous version. To access the prefs with teleport 1.2, you have to select Configure in the teleport menu in the menubar.

[aheritier]

@abyssoft On my side I manually removed the previous version from preferences. I rebooted and installed 1.2. After opening the configuration screen I don't have the options button on the other computer thumbnail

[LaurentFough]

Ditto here.
I’ve completed removed all preferences related to the previous 1.1.x version.

Problem:

• Layout screen *DOES appear, when menu-item: “Configure…" is selected.
• The option to configure the available settings for nearby clients/servers is not available.

Teleport launches as expected, sees the other machines— though no config options available.

• One particular machine has just been completely rebuilt, clean install, so there were no prefs/ settings to remove (from a previous teleport install)— and still no configuration options.

I’ll compile it locally and see if there’s any difference.

[LaurentFough]

[Update]

• Built, and ran locally.
• Configure option, for one of the remote machines appeared briefly, then disappeared.

Will need to debug some more.

The latest release v1.2.2 is working on macOS Big Sur. Give it a try, if you have any problems please open an issue with full steps to reproduce.
