Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/141

Operating Systems

Server: Ubuntu 18.04

Client: Microsoft Windows 7 Enterprise

Barrier Version

2.1.0-RELEASE-0b2dfd80

Steps to reproduce bug

On the client:

Open settings dialog
Alter Dropdown for Elevate "AsNeeded" to "Never"
Close settings dialog
Open settings dialog again
"AsNeede" is selected

Other info

The problem behind:

Clipboard transmission from client to server does not work, if barrierc.exe is started as SYSTEM.
It works, if barrierc.exe is started as my user.
The "AsNeeded" setting seems to choose this arbitrarily...
Therefore I try to change this setting.
Does this bug prevent you from using Barrier entirely? No

Nothing else... :)

Meanwhile I switched from using the Barrier GUI to calling barrierc.exe from the CLI which solves the problem for me.

Additionally there is another advantage with this method: I was able to determine that the CLI parameter --stop-on-desk-switch was responsible to let barrierc.exe stop at suspend/resume of the system. After removing this parameter, Barrier works well without interruptions now.

Though I am not affected anymore, I leave this issue open, since the original problem is not solved. If there are any updates to Barrier that claim to have solved the problem, I will check if it works then - just leave me a note here.
