Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/1441

What happened?

The documentation found here for generating the key pair fingerprint is deprecated. The fingerprints currently used by barrier are not in the same format and are SHA256 by default.

Generating the key itself still seems to go fine, and the GUI does something to generate what it needs, but I can't get it to work entirely from the command line. More complete documentation on how to do this would be nice.

Even better would be to create a command line argument for doing whatever it is the GUI does.

Btw, I still have to use --disable-client-cert-checking, I think documentation is needed on how to get that working via the command line.

Version

I cant understand enough of this to help me. Should I uninstall my server app (Manjaro Linux) and my client app (Windows 10) to get them to play together properly again?

I did the update on the Manjaro side and started to get
INFO: --enable-crypto is used by default. The option is deprecated.

How can I get it to work again please?
Thanx!

Please disregard!
It seems there was something hung-up in the update, and the update was attempting to install an older version.
All is well now.
