Have been facing the same issue since two weeks on Arch, ( https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/1829 ).
Kindly post any workaround or fix you come across, in this thread.

I don't think that it is the same as #1829. The log looks different.
It seems to work fine on other Manjaro machines for me.I tried reinstalling Barrier and its dependencies and deleting the configuration file, but I keep getting this issue on this specific machine. Is there anything else that I can do to make a clean install of Barrier?

@VijayKM01 commented on GitHub (Nov 25, 2022):

The log file I attached in #1829 was actually the debug output, and the program crashes because of the C++ STL error, if I select the Log Level to be Info instead of Debug2, I get the same log output as yours, which is also shown when I click on the (show log) menu item in the GUI.

I had also tried reinstalling the package and all its dependencies, but that didn't fix the issue, initially I was pretty inclined to try the snap or flatpak version to get it running, but have switched to rust desk as a workaround until this issue is fixed.

Have you tried downgrading Barrier to an older version ?

I had the same issue with Barrier 2.3.2 on Linux Mint 20.3 + Barrier 2.4.0 Windows 10. It worked after downgrading windows version to 2.3.2.

Same here, manjaro
I fixed it by manually naming the client's PC in the server config then it accepted the connection.
