A "TTY Required" scanning error can occur if you are running a Linux distribution where sudo
is configured to require tty
by default.
To solve the error, disable the tty
requirement to ensure Lansweeper has sudo
access and fulfills the requirements for scanning Linux computers.
To disable the tty
requirement:
sudo visudo
then your password, when prompted.Defaults requiretty
line.#
. The line should now be #Defaults requiretty
. :wq
and select the Enter key to save and exit the editor.Run a scan on your Linux computer to confirm the error is resolved.
