No lock screen (and no locked pointer device) and no full screen demo with Linux clients (either Linux Mint or Ubuntu)
-
Hi all,
at first, this tool seems to be awesome. I'm testing it in preparation for a roll-out in real school environment. So far I got everything to work, except:
- locking the screens does not work properly (keyboard is locked, but there is no lock screen and pointer device (mouse) is still working, so I can still open Firefox and watch websites
- keyboard is locked, but if I disconnect keyboard and reconnect it, it is working although lock feature is still engaged
- Demo feature with full screen is not working (related to lock screen I assume?), but Demo feature in a window is working properly
I'm stuck here for 3 days and checked all forums and could not find any solution, neither an user with same problem...
What am I doing wrong?Thanks

Hi André,
thank you for your feedback! Issue 1 and 3 may be related to a potential regression in Veyon 4.7.4. Can you try installing 4.7.3 on the clients for testing purposes? You can find the binary packages at https://github.com/veyon/veyon/releases/tag/v4.7.3The keyboard issue is interesting. I'll have a look at it.

PS:
Just downgraded client to 4.7.3 (with some difficulties - see below), and et voila it works now!
Thank you!difficulties: after disabling ppa, uninstall, install new version, veyon service didn't start (neither I could start it manually - service was 'masked' - There was a link from /etc/systemd/system/veyon.service to /dev/null and the 'real' veyon.service was found in /lib/systemd/system/veyon.service.
Removing the link in /etc/.../veyon.service and reboot everything worked well.Don't know which routine left this behind....
PPS:
Now the keyboard issue is gone! Tthe keyboard can be detached and reattached - it is still blocked! So the issue seems to be connected with the regression effect in 7.4.7...
