Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/1729

What happened?

Barrier, when installed via snap or repo package on Ubuntu 22.04, will not start. It gets stuck at "Barrier is Starting." I never got far enough to try to connect a client to it.

This is a fairly standard system running X with nvidia drivers and 4 screens, USB keyboard and mouse. I got the same result starting barrier as my regular user and as a root user.

Looking at the debug logs, I'm worried it's a screen configuration thing, but I can't validate further.

I have been through the steps in the following past issues to no avail:

Relevant syslog during the run, this is looping:

Any other information

Screen info, as I suspect that's the issue here:
