Veyon 4.5.4 VNC serveur Crash on demo mode
-
@fred Thank you for the logs (only the master/server logs are relevant at the moment). They clearly indicate that the demo server worker is crashing for some reason. I created a test build and uploaded it to https://github.com/veyon/veyon/releases/download/v4.5.4/veyon-4.5.4.3-win64-setup.exe - it includes many more debug messages as well as one minor change. Can you please upgrade the master computer, clear the log files and start a demo (no matter whether window or fullscreen) again and attach the server log file to your response (better than to include it to keep the thread clear)? That would help me a lot! Thank you in advance for your cooperation!

@fred Thank you very much! Did you start the demo mode just once? Or did you repeatedly start/stop it or did anything else after starting? How did you start it? Using the global toolbar or the context menu? How many clients do you have activated in the locations and computer tab? I'm just asking because I see many intermittent "stop demo" requests which repeatedly stop the server and start it later again.

I had done 3 tests because on the master station I have a dual display (2 monitors)
a test with monitor 1
a monitor test 2
a test by having disconnected monitor 2 and keep only one with the same reference as on the client pcalways with a single client pc in 4.5.4
new test:
New log file.

1 single client with demo mode 1 single monitor on the master
Click on the general mode demo menu in the window this time.
only one demo requested ... but on the client pc several disconnections

@fred Interesting! Obviously the demo server is not crashing (which is good!) but stopped by the Master due to a bug. One guess: do you have the "Enforce selected mode for client computers" option (https://docs.veyon.io/en/latest/admin/reference.html#behaviour) enabled? If so, can you try to disable it for testing?

Good evening
indeed the box was checked.
I just did a remote test. by unchecking the box. Attached is the log of this test ...

It seems that the demo mode is functional in this case. But without being in the room and seeing the pc directly.Knowing that I am in France and that the government is imposing the closure of schools .. it will be difficult to get correct tests while being in the classroom in the coming weeks ..
From a distance I have the impression that the demo mode is not fluid .. too much latency between modification on the master station and the client .. but without being 100% sure

@fred Did you downgrade the entire lab to 4.4.2?
I still can not get Demo to work on anything from 4.4.2 through 4.5.4. The last time Demo worked for me was on 4.3.5. Since upgrading in September 2020, to 4.4.2, Demo has not worked.
Do I need to down grade the clients if I take the MASTER back to 4.3.5?

I only did the test in 442 on 1 PC with the master and 1 PC with the client. and the demo mode works with the settings I made -
@drewloker Have you tried disabling the mentioned option ("Enforce selected mode for client computers")? Currently this option causes problems with the demo mode in 4.5.x which will be fixed in the next release. However when disabling it, demo should work normally.

Hello again
I have just made a trial installation of version 4.5.5.0 on a computer which previously had version 4.5.4.3.
Scenario I uninstall the previous version, reboot the machine installation of version 4.5.5.0 .. installation OK, but when I run Veyon-configurator => crash with error message 87
I downloaded the installation sources for version 4.5.5.0 twice to be sure, always the error message.
if I uninstall version 4.5.5.0 and reinstall version 4.5.4.3 .. no problem ...
I tried to install version 4.5.5.0 over version 4.5.4.3 without uninstalling => error 87
Obviously when switching from version 4.5.4.3 to 4.5.5.0 there is something in the configuration file that does not work .. what is weird is that obviously the configuration remains on the PC because when I reinstall the version 4.5.4.3 my LDAP and co configuration is still present even though I uninstalled it before. and delete the installation folder c : \ programfiles \ veyon
I looked everywhere in Appdata of the user folder, that of the public user but also in ProgramData ..an idea ??
Edit: After uninstalling I deleted the registry key
Computer \ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Veyon because it remains => reboot => install 4.5.5.0 always the same error
