ASTER compatible

@sergey Thank you for testing and sending the log files. Obviously more work is required to make everything work in multi-seat sessions. Can you start veyon-server.exe manually inside the user sessions? Just to verify if the server has problems with the multi-seat session or whether things needs to be improved in the Veyon Service.

Hi @tobydox
The case when the server is started at the first workplace:

• when manually launching veyon-server.exe on the second workstation, only the veyon-worker process appears in the task manager
• if you run veyon-server.exe several times, several veyon-worker processes will appear

The case when the veyon-server process is killed in the task manager:

• when manually launching veyon-server.exe on the second workstation, the process veyon-server and veyon-worker appears in the task manager
• if you run veyon-server.exe several times, several veyon-worker processes will appear
• Veyon Master displays the second seat desktop
• in the first workplace, under the same conditions, the veyon-worker does not start.

Hi @tobydox
Are there any news?

@sergey Unfortunately not, we were very busy with the 4.6.0 release. There still seem to be some issues with running the server itself inside the ASTER sessions. You could try to switch the VNC server to "External VNC server" in the Service configuration page and after rebooting see if at least the tray icon (i.e. veyon-worker) appears reliably for each session. If this works, in the next step you could run a VNC server (e.g. UltraVNC) in each session manually on the corresponding ports (i.e. 11200 + session ID) and see whether Veyon Master can connect to this VNC server through the Veyon Server (which BTW acts as a proxy server for the local VNC server).

Hi, great news! It's working VEYON + ASTER !!!

I made a video with english speaking and portuguese as well, here follows the link:

Enjoy it!

@jhonatec
Thanks, it really works.
I slightly changed the way that the ID is determined based on the workplace number. To do this, just copy two bat files to the folder with ASTER.
runonlogin_wpn.bat

@setx VEYON_SESSION_ID %1
EXIT

and runonlogin_wpn2.bat

@START "" "c:\Program Files\Veyon\veyon-server.exe" 
EXIT

@tobydox
Even so, some functions do not work. I can remotely control and also block / unblock the user. But, I cannot send messages to additional places, as well as open the site

@sergey @jhonatec Great news! So the question remains how Veyon Service can identify the session ID for a certain session and pass it to the Veyon Server instances. Is there any ASTER-specific environment variable which we could evaluate?

[Sergey]

@tobydox
Could you add startup parameters for veyon-server.exe?
In order not to use an environment variable, but to pass the session / workstation number through the parameter. This was the case in the old version of iTalk.

"Is there any ASTER-specific environment variable which we could evaluate?"
I will clarify this.

Any news here?
