What happened?

Hi,
I am using 2 arch linux machines and the version of barrier is 2.4.0-1.
One is laptop and one is desktop with two screens.

I switched off ssl and using configure server I created another machine using the screen name.
The connection seems to be fine and its running. But I can't move mouse nor use keyboard to connect another machine. Tried vice versa but I didn't get it to work.

Version

Just fyi I'm also using awesomewm on arch (as the barrier server) and with a windows and another archlinux/awesome barrier client and everything works fine. Could you maybe post some logs?
