Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/1244

Describe the bug
Background,
Ubuntu 21.04 is the server and a Mac is the client . I have upgraded from Ubuntu 20.04 to 21.04 and I have installed Barrier through Ubuntu Software app (snap). Version 2.3.3-release-bbd1accb

After the update :

Can not move to the client until I open an application like Google Chrome to full screen
Control, Function and Navigation keys are not shared with the client, only cursor and typing keys.
Overall slower response with the same hardware setup

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Install barrier as a Server on an Ubuntu 21.04 from Ubuntu Software app (snap)

Expected behavior
I expect to be able to move freely from one desktop to the other.
I expect most of Control, Function and Navigation keys to work in the client

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: Ubuntu 21.04
Barrier version 2.3.3-release-bbd1accb

Same issue here, I'm not able to use it on ubuntu 21. After I install Barrier in Windows and Ubuntu, I'm able to navigate from Windows to Ubuntu, but the mouse cursor is invisible and the keyboard didn't work. And if I start the server in ubuntu, it's simply didn't work at all

Could the issue have to do with wayland? You might need to, from the initial login screen, switch to "Ubuntu on xorg"
