Other info
I Tried using the stated resolutions and also the steps in building in Linux. Since I am new to this Operating System and this application is the best way other than the usual KVM sharing, I tried this one. I also noticed the error stated in the logs when I tried to show it

Thanks for the further advice.

Did you configure the server?
Also you really shouldn't be building from master unless you're doing development work and/or testing patches. We have releases
@l0o0 commented on GitHub (Nov 26, 2018):
I have this issue too.
I have downloaded the 2.1.2 source file from GitHub then compile.
If Ubuntu 16.04 as a server, win10 is a client, everything is OK.
If win10 as a server, Ubuntu as a client, Barrier is stuck in "Barrier is starting". The log is below:
I have tried to install from flatpak. Is it necessary to download so many packages?
After installing from flatpak and reboot. I select barrier form ubuntu dash. The problem is still here.
Here is the log:
@AdrianKoshka commented on GitHub (Nov 26, 2018):
You're not meant to do this. 2.1.2 just introduced the flatpak. 2.10 is (more or less) identical.
Yep
I know for windows you have to allow
barrier.exeandbarriers.exethrough the firewall and open the port that barrier uses.@l0o0 commented on GitHub (Nov 27, 2018):
@AdrianKoshka Thank you for your quick reply. After adding
barriers.exeandbarrierc.exeto the firewall exception programs, it works.I think a simple tutorial or wiki will be appreciated.
@AdrianKoshka commented on GitHub (Nov 27, 2018):
We do have a wiki, but I don't know the specific steps to adding the rule(s) to the windows firewall. I've offered before that if anyone can write up a tutorial for how to do it, I'm more than happy to add it to the wiki with credit.
@l0o0 commented on GitHub (Nov 27, 2018):
I have made a screenshot to show how to add exception programs in window defender firewall win10. I'm sorry that the interface is Chinese.
Maybe you can use these screenshot in the wiki.
@AdrianKoshka commented on GitHub (Nov 27, 2018):
I'll get around to adding them, non-chinese ones would be preferable though. Even though the buttons are exactly the same. Thanks for the English instructions.
@AdrianKoshka commented on GitHub (Nov 27, 2018):
A very lazy effort on my part, but: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/wiki/Adding-Barrier-to-the-Windows-Firewall (Added credit)
@l0o0 commented on GitHub (Nov 27, 2018):
@AdrianKoshka I think screenshots were captured by l0o0 😃
@AdrianKoshka commented on GitHub (Nov 27, 2018):
Oh jeez! My bad! I'll fix that right away!
@N3BB3Z4R commented on GitHub (May 19, 2019):
Same problem "Barrier is Starting", it still no works in Win10 as server and Ubuntu as client.
@zanhk commented on GitHub (Aug 3, 2019):
Same, on debian 10 as client it keep say "barrier is starting" while in win10 as server It say it's in function
@leflings commented on GitHub (Sep 6, 2019):
Just wanted to say I had the same issues, but I found that disabling SSL in barrier settings solved it. Of course this solution isn't for everyone, but it works in a pinch.
@AdrianKoshka commented on GitHub (Sep 6, 2019):
If you were using an outdated version of the flatpak, that could be why.
@edegaudenzi commented on GitHub (Mar 17, 2020):
Manual workaround: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/480
@ttfreeman commented on GitHub (Apr 28, 2020):
How do you disable SSL in barrier setting?
@pratyushlohumi26 commented on GitHub (Jun 30, 2020):
Add exceptions in your windows firewall, put the name of the screens as same on the server-side (windows in case of me) as suggested in the above comments.
It still wasn't connected,
WHAT MORE I HAD TO DO: In my ubuntu (client side) TeamViewer was running in background as I exited it, barrier started working for me. Now I can control ubuntu with my windows mouse/keyboard.
