AFTER EACH EXAMINATION, THE INVIGILATOR SHOULD
LOGIN AFRESH FOR ANOTHER REGISTRATION.
IF INCORRECT PASSWORD IS DISPLAYED,, CHECK THE
LANGUAGE SET UP IN THE KEYBOARD.
99% OF THE MESSAGE “FAILED TO LOGIN EXAMINATION”
IS DUE TO THE WRONG KEYBOARD PREFERENCE. EITHER
IT WILL BE SETTO LOCAL LANGUAGE OR IN ANY OTHER
LANGUAGE.
THE REMEDIAL MEASURE FOR SUCH ERROR IS DELETE
.gconf FOLDER FROM THE HOME FOLDER.

9. 
Another problem noted during the last time was generating
Blank mark-sheet.

It is an error caused by frequent and interrupted power failure
(It may cause severe database error. Working table may get
corrupted).

To solve this problem, you need to take the backup of result
soon after such occasion.

For this Open terminal → sudo nautilus. There will be a folder
by name 'results_backup' which is updating automatically
during each registration and attempt of examination.

10. 
HERE DATE WISE FILE NAME WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY
GIVEN BY THE SOFTWARE. SO YOU CAN GET DAY WISE
BACKUP EASILY FROM THAT FOLDER.

SOLUTION FOR GENERATING BLANK MARK SHEET IS:
STEP: 1. BACKUP RESULT FROM OPT FOLDER
2. REINSTALL EXAMINATION SOFTWARE
3. IMPORT SCHOOL DETAILS
4. IMPORT BACK UP RESULT

11.  If you click (Not at all preferred) recover data
option available in chief's Menu, by curiosity or
intensionally, you must wait until there comes a
message that recovery is done.
 Do not cancel the recovery process on the way at
any cost, because such attempt will result in
complete loss of database.
 In practical section if the student clicks Finish
exam button by mistake the window for
invigilator's password appears.Here the
invigilator can cancel the finish exam mode
after giving the password and allow the
Candidate to continue the practical section
without cancelling registration.

12. ●

If power failure occurred and the problem - not
generating the marklist occurred, you can do the
remedial method suggested earlier.
If you get a message “examination is already running”
while you are trying to login, but is not seen it anywhere,
check whether workspace have been changed. In such
occasion, logout the system and login again.
After installing the Examination software, you must
restart the system compulsorily.
Do not uninstall the exam software through synaptic
package manager.
If Incorrect password message comes, delete .gconf
folder from home and logout the system.
