What happened?

The message above appears when barrier (server) is started right after boot.

If barrier is quit and started again, the message does not appear. This happens if barrier is started from XFCEs "Session and Startup" (passwordless login)

After startup:

It seems that barrier works after confirming the dialog, but it would be better is this error would be just logged instead of opening the dialog.

A workaround is to create a script that sleeps for a few seconds and then call /usr/bin/barrier.

One of possibilities is that your IP address is not on the list of preferred and is not returned by ZeroconfService::getLocalIPAddresses().

EDIT#1: As a result Berrier does not register the server in with DNS-SD.
