Ostinato client not connecting

Post by Kitkat0981 » Mon Apr 19, 2021 1:30 pm

Hi All,

i am trying to get the Ostinato client to connect to the Agent but it wont connect.
got the client 0.9-0.1 from ostinato website under eve-clients


EVE-NG Pro
installed drone9
assigned drone eth0 to local lan via CLOUD0, ip retreived from DHCP and can ping from windows client (running the ostinato client).
start Ostinato client, delete existing portgroup and add new port group with IP of Drone on local lan at 10.0.0.206:7878
client wont connect to drone.

Anyone know why that is or how to fix this?

im running the EVE-NG Pro and installed the drone from :
apt-get install eve-ng-addons-ostinato-drone9

when i start the ostinato node and do "ps -ef | grep drone" i see nothing.
then if i try to start ostinato with "sudo ostinato" i get error:

eve@box:~$ sudo ostinato
QIconvCodec::convertFromUnicode: using Latin-1 for conversion, iconv_open failed
QIconvCodec::convertToUnicode: using Latin-1 for conversion, iconv_open failed
Unable to load library icui18n "Cannot load library icui18n: (icui18n: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)"
ostinato: cannot connect to X server


why im I not able to start ostinato drone?

i found my issue...

the drone is not started automatically and to start the drone, the command is "sudo drone" NOT "sudo ostinato"... perhaps the documentation should be updated to state that.
