Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/350

Operating Systems

Server: Windows 10 Version 1709

Client: Linux (Ubuntu 16.04)

Barrier Version

2.3.0-snapshot-8e8b3b4

Steps to reproduce bug

Establish connection (--> Mouse and keyboard are working as expected on both PCs)
Copy text on Server (Windows)
Try to paste copied text on Client (Linux) --> NOT WORKING. The clipboard on Linux client is empty.

Other info

The other way around is working fine. I can copy text from Client (Linux) to Server (Windows).

When did the problem start to occur? Always
Is there a way to work around it? No
Does this bug prevent you from using Barrier entirely? No

Put anything else you can think of here.

Operating Systems

Server: Windows 10 Version 1803
Client: Arch LTS

Server: Arch
Client: Windows 10 Version 1809

Barrier Version

2.2.0-RELEASE-00000000

I have two setups that both intermittently have this issue since using Synergy, likely for a decade now. Windows server to Linux client, and Linux server to Windows client, but the Linux computer is always the one whose clipboard won't update. It's not necessarily empty though; it just doesn't update the contents.

Restarting Barrier fixes it temporarily, but I tend to have to restart both so I can't localize it to Windows vs Linux, or server vs client causing the problem.

I also intermittently have this issue, with both synergy and barrier (Just switched a week ago)

I believe Windows behaviour might be related to synergys/synergyc using LOCAL SYSTEM vs user account. See #103

Issue seems to be fixed with v2.3.2 👍

I have still the same problem. Server is windows 10 and client is Ubuntu 18.04.
barrier version is 2.3.2.
A clipboard from a client to a server is working properly, but a server to a client is not working.
Is there any setting or something?

If you run it as your user (unlike always elevated) it will allow you to copy but will not work on login, UAC or administrator level full screen apps, I think.

I have a similar issue to this from Linux to Windows 10 as well. It works for a while then stops. Restarting Barrier on the server machine will make the copy paste work again for a while. Issue #1107 is likely related if not a duplicate of this issue.
