I believe it doesn't work in a GNOME environment.

Barrier is no longer in development. Check out Deskflow (upstream) or Input Leap (fork).

https://github.com/deskflow/deskflow
https://github.com/input-leap/input-leap

If this is still an issue in those projects, we would appreciate a cross-post of this issue.
