Hi @tobydox
Are there any news?

@tobydox Thanks! With that version everything works fine.

ok it works now.
It's necessary to have the same user on pcprof (veyon master) and pc2 (client) if you use logon authentification, and then export the configuration (json file) from pcprof to pc2.

I think I will use the key authentification in the future, not to have the same user on pcprof.

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately I need the version for bionic i386 or version 4.5.6 for bionic i386.

Veyon is free and Open Source so you don't have to buy a license. In case you want to use some of the commercial add-ons (such as Internet Access Control or Network Discovery) for extra functionalities, you can buy licenses for these add-ons separately.

Hi @tobydox ,
it's much better now.
When the Linux client starts, its login screen is displayed correctly in veyon-master.
If a user then logs in, his screen is also displayed correctly in Veyon-master.
If the user logs off again immediately, the login screen is no longer displayed in veyon-master.

If a user logs in again, his screen is displayed correctly again. If this user logs off after a few minutes, the login screen is displayed correctly.

Well, even if the login screen is not displayed, you can work well with this version of veyon.

Thanks very much

Mathias

Veyon uses system and/or domain users so simply log in with your teacher account (which in case of local users should exist on student computers as well). If you don't have domain users, consider using the key file authentication method. See https://docs.veyon.io/en/latest/admin/configuration.html#authentication-methods for more information and a comparison of both methods.

@tbuller Probably the download somehow failed? I just downloaded the file and it has a size of around 1.8 MB. Alternatively use our PPA so you benefit from automatic updates and better dependency resolving upon installation.

@tobydox Thank you for the explanation. I use "Show notification on remote connection".

The Wayland messages could come from your display manager which already uses Wayland while your user sessions don't. However from your descriptions it rather sounds like the Veyon Server inside the user sessions starts up properly and during the first access. Is there a chance you can downgrade to 4.5.6 by manually installing https://github.com/veyon/veyon/releases/download/v4.5.6/veyon_4.5.6-0-ubuntu-focal_amd64.deb (if it doesn't help, try with 4.5.5 via https://github.com/veyon/veyon/releases/download/v4.5.5/veyon_4.5.5-0-ubuntu-focal_amd64.deb)? This way we can determine whether this is a regression or a general problem.

@hammergil I admit the (free community) support has been poor in the last weeks to due holidays (also the development of Veyon 5 takes quite some resources). I'm confident we'll fix the Ubuntu issue in the next weeks, even though you seem to have found another solution.

Hello @erich,

Veyon Master does not require any administrator rights to run. When trying with a non-admin user, did you try a local or domain user? In case of domain users, did you properly prepend the domain, i.e. MYDOMAIN\user? Did you also disable the "Perform access control" option in the master configuration (https://docs.veyon.io/en/latest/admin/reference.html#behaviour)?

Is the file readable, i.e. can you run e.g. notepad %source%\user_public_key.pem? What happens if you replace the placeholder with a qualified path?

Hello,
is there some workaround how to get it working?

Best regardds

After much time spent trying to get veyon to work on my Ubuntu 18.04 lab, and many days and weeks with not much support, I decided to end the suffering and move on. I did find an affordable paid option that I am using right now and it works great. Not only that but I did have a few issues after first install and the developer scheduled a zoom meeting with me on the same day of purchase and we got it all ironed out.

So, if you are using Ubuntu and like me are stumped. If you are looking for an affordable solution, I can recommend Classroom Spy at classroomspy.com. Does the same thing as Veyon and I think I paid a 1-time cost of $699 for 25 computers.
