I wanted to get started with veyon on the client computer but when I use the installer in the software store included in the os, the veyon version is not the latest one and when I install the veyon configurator, I'm unable to get the the service started.
I then tried to install veyon from the download on the website but the master gets also installed I only needed configurator to get the service started on the client. so I remove that install. (the service did started with the latest package from the site)
I then tried, without knowning much of what I was doing, to install veyon using make install as shown here: GitHub - veyon/veyon: Cross-platform computer monitoring and classroom management > veyon on linux and it did install both configuration and master but it won't open either with an error stating that the program won't run due to previledges now, I'm not able to uninstall it
If you installed using superuser, which is almost required on all software, you will have to use sudo in order to run the application as well as the service, unless developed to use the user permissions. Try using the terminal to initiate the application (sudo veyon).
Version 4.8.2, fresh arch-linux, clean install, same problem.I believe the problem is that veyon looks at both /lib/veyon and /usr/lib/veyon to load its modules.On Arch linux, /lib is a soft link to /usr/lib therefore the modules are loaded twice.Please advice, Veyon is unworkable on Arch Linux.
It appears that when you install veyon from the aur it installs version 4.7.3-6-g36c58eb98 instead of 4.7.5-1... and this version does not seem to work, it shows grey blank screen of the computers you are trying to view.
At first, I installed it over 4.7.1-1. I tried to remove it and install it again, nothing changed.I removed it again and downgraded to 4.7.1-1 which works OK.In veyon master all menu options are shown twice and each time you click on one option it is executed twice. I also submitted an issue #834 but I thought it might be a package issue.
