Hello. Been using Barrier for quite some time now, can't seem to figure out why it started doing this today... I've never had a problem with it til now, for some reason my client PCs don't want to connect to the server :/
I'm using Artix w runit (server and client) & Devuan Linux(client). Connection just doesn't seem to want to work, no idea why.... It seems to be cutting in and out or something... I really have no idea what might be causing this issue.
@johnny-mac commented on GitHub (Oct 17, 2018):
Weird... I've noticed that if I try to SSH to one of my client PCs that it just starts to work.... :/ doesn't make much sense to me.... IDK, maybe a dependency got updated recently & is causing barrier to bug out?
Sorry I can't provide you with anything else, not sure what is relevant to this issue.
@johnny-mac commented on GitHub (Oct 17, 2018):
This may not be related to Barrier, I'm not really sure yet.... I think libssh might have something to do with it. What are the odds that libssh just got updated & now this is happening? O.o
@johnny-mac commented on GitHub (Oct 17, 2018):
Yep! It would appear libssh was the culprit! So not barrier-related, but it definitely breaks barrier's functionality. Here's a PKGBUILD for the previous version of libssh(I just changed the version and it worked):
@AdrianKoshka commented on GitHub (Oct 17, 2018):
I don't think libssh is used in barrier at all, don't see why it would make an impact.
@johnny-mac commented on GitHub (Oct 17, 2018):
It definitely appeared like that's what the problem was. I downgraded the package and now its all ok...
I could probably reproduce the problem if I upgraded libssh
@AdrianKoshka commented on GitHub (Oct 17, 2018):
I'm no CMake expert, but I see no reference to
libsshhere. https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt@AdrianKoshka commented on GitHub (Oct 17, 2018):
I would hazard a guess that some other library/dependency was updated on your system, and that is the culprit.
@johnny-mac commented on GitHub (Oct 17, 2018):
I don't know... maybe the new version of libssh was messing something up. I have no idea. All I changed was the libssh package and now its ok... I didn't change any other package, and I even re-compiled barrier on all 3 pc's. Maybe its some other package that depends on libssh or something.
@AdrianKoshka commented on GitHub (Oct 17, 2018):
Well, if you recompiled barrier, and other system libs were updated, that means barrier would've been compiled against the new libs, and would work.
@johnny-mac commented on GitHub (Oct 17, 2018):
It didn't work until I changed libssh... its reproducable if I upgrade libssh.
sorry to have bothered you, I really like this project you've got here.
@TafThorne commented on GitHub (Oct 18, 2018):
@johnny-mac do you have the
/var/log/apt/history.log&term.loglogs covering the upgrade that breaks the system and the downgrade that fixes it? That would show which packages changed.@johnny-mac commented on GitHub (Oct 18, 2018):
/var/log/apt/ ? I might have something like that for pacman. I did say one of my PCs is Devuan, but I don't think it was an upgrade in Devuan that caused this because there wasn't really anything updated on it.
@johnny-mac commented on GitHub (Oct 18, 2018):
Unfortunately I think I may have been wrong, I'm not really sure. To get barrier to work, I have to try to ssh to one of the client PCs, then barrier connects. Its odd. And I don't even have to type in the password, If I try to start a connection w one of them in ssh it just starts working. I really have no idea what to make of this.
@johnny-mac commented on GitHub (Oct 18, 2018):
Trying to ping one of the computers has the same effect as trying to SSH - the barrier connection fixes itself when I do that. Something must be broken under the hood, so I guess its probably not directly related to barrier, but to something somewhere else.
@huyphams commented on GitHub (Oct 30, 2018):
I'm not sure if it can helps. I'm using libssh (in an other app) and it's broken after upgrading libssh to 0.8.3 (works fine with libssh < 0.8.3).
@AdrianKoshka commented on GitHub (Aug 23, 2019):
Closing due to inactivity.
@p12tic commented on GitHub (Aug 25, 2019):
Indeed, I don't see how libssh is related to Barrier. There's no dependency on libssh in barrier executables or the libraries they depend on.
