Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/146

Operating Systems

Server: OSX 10.13.6

Client: OSX 10.14

Barrier Version

2.1.0-RELEASE

Steps to reproduce bug

Allow screensaver+lockscreen to activate on both client and server, unlock after 12-48 hours.
server (where the physical HID are attached) unlocks just fine
client remains connected, mouse cursor is visible and can be moved. password prompt never appears.

sshing into the client machine, I discovered that the screensaverengine is called over and over, like so:

Functionality returns 100% when you run pkill ScreenSaverEngine on the client.

Other info

I've only ever run barrier with this setup, so cannot isolate OS or binary versions

Workaround described above. You need to enable remote access to the machine, or a reboot is your only option. Both work.

While this bug is annoying, I finally figured it out and will continue to use barrier. Thanks for the work on it!

You need to enable remote access to the machine, or a reboot is your only option. Both work. While this bug is annoying, I finally figured it out and will continue to use barrier. Thanks for the work on it!

@baens commented on GitHub (Aug 13, 2019):

I too have this problem. However, for me to get around it, I hit the "esc" key a few times, hit the lock key on my touch bar, then this returns me to a normal password prompt, which I can then login. Annoying because I have to manually do this every time the screen saver activates.

If anyone would like to point out where I could help out, I'd love to submit a patch!

I have a similar issue, Barrier 2.3.2 here. I enter my password to unlock my mac client successfully, from my windows host, but the screensaver never goes away and escape does nothing. I have to ssh in and randomly kill various ScreenSaverEngine processes until i finally get out of it. No good.

Issue is still present with 2.3.3 and whatever the latest non-beta version of Mac OS Big Sur is.

@skinlayers commented on GitHub (Sep 29, 2021):

FYI, I've found that (at least on macOS 10.15.7) if I ssh into the client, and run:
pmset displaysleepnow
I can then wake and unlock it by attempting to move the cursor to the now-sleeping client's screen.
That might be a more graceful workaround until the issue is resolved.

@juanmartin commented on GitHub (Jan 18, 2022):

I also experience this. It's not consistent but happens, haven't figured the pattern out yet.

My workaround is (since I'm using a macbook pro) to close the lid enforcing a sleep (you also need to disconnect external displays or it won't sleep). Wait a few seconds and open it again. It's important to wait for a bit or the mac won't go to sleep yet.

At least I don't have to reboot 🤷

This is really very annoying, I have a main PC with Win11 and a Macbook Pro that is owned and managed by my employer, I can't change the time that it takes to show the screensaver (10 minutes), so every 10 minutes I have to reset the mac, making this app completely useless!
