Originally created by @georgekorpas on GitHub (Jul 4, 2019).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/351
Operating Systems
Server: Windows 10 with GPU nVidia GTX 1050i
Client: Linux Mint 19.1 w/ Cinnamon version 4.0.9 and Linux Kernel 4.15.0-20-generic and GPU nVidia GTX1080i (driver version 390.116)
Barrier Version
2.3.0 (latest by July 2, 2019)
Steps to reproduce bug
Barrier installed in both machines. In the server (Windows) I allow barrier.exe and barrierc.exe to pass through Microsoft Defender (and Firewall). I disabled SSL in both machines.
Server runs normally: "Barrier is runnin"
Client gives : "Barrier is starting".
Screen names match!
Server IP's match!
Machines computed in the same network!
Other info
I would really like to ask for some help.
@AdrianKoshka commented on GitHub (Jul 4, 2019):
Just tested with a server of windows 10 and a client of Fedora 30 (flatpak), and things worked just fine.
@georgekorpas commented on GitHub (Jul 5, 2019):
I am not sure how this is helping. I am sure it works for many people. I am seeking for some tips or hints on possible things I might have skipped or performed wrong.
As I said, in the client which has Linux Mint, the software just "keeps starting". Furthermore, if I press reload or stop the app is not responding and the ony way to re-initilaize is to completely close it and open it again. I am not sure how to fix this.
Edit: If I reverse the process (Linux server and Windows client) they both run but the cursor will not flow from one screen to the other. In any case I want to use the Windows as server.
@AdrianKoshka commented on GitHub (Jul 5, 2019):
Did you configure the server in the configuration panel?
@AdrianKoshka commented on GitHub (Jul 5, 2019):
@georgekorpas commented on GitHub (Jul 6, 2019):
UPDATE:
I used another machine with Linux mint (laptop this time) at my home WIFI network and it worked perfectly fine.
Previously I have been trying to make it work via my institutions network connected by ethernet cables in both devices. Could this possibly affect Barrier?
@AdrianKoshka commented on GitHub (Jul 6, 2019):
Possibly?
@georgekorpas commented on GitHub (Jul 8, 2019):
So I have tried again via the network. The two computers see each other in a secure network. The barrier on the client is still not starting.
@AdrianKoshka I am new into Linux and Github and I have limited experience on what affects what etc. I would appreciate if you could help me use this amazing piece of software. I apologize for naive questions.
@dregimbal commented on GitHub (Jul 8, 2019):
@Gorbz have you tried installing from source on the linux machine?
@georgekorpas commented on GitHub (Jul 8, 2019):
@dregimbal No. I was just using the app manager of Linux Mint. Will it make a difference? I am trying it now.
UPDATE: I cannot. I get the following message:
git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey)@AdrianKoshka commented on GitHub (Jul 8, 2019):
I don't think building from source would fix the issue, but it looks like you either need to add a public ssh key to your github account, or clone over https. Though you could just download a release archive from the releases section. https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/releases
@georgekorpas commented on GitHub (Jul 8, 2019):
FINAL UPDATE:
It works now. I build from source as suggested above. One thing is that instead of
git clone git@github.com:debauchee/barrier.gitI used
git clone https://github.com/debauchee/barrierIt would be nice if:
This software is awesome. Thanks.
@AdrianKoshka commented on GitHub (Jul 8, 2019):
I personally strongly disagree with this, package managers exist for a reason. Nobody should have to build from source every time they want to use an application.
@georgekorpas commented on GitHub (Jul 8, 2019):
@AdrianKoshka You are right. But for some reason the Barrier would not work properly using Mint's "Software Manager".
@AdrianKoshka commented on GitHub (Jul 8, 2019):
🤷 I don't know why this would be, I don't use mint, and haven't spun up a VM of mint to test this yet.
@p12tic commented on GitHub (Jul 8, 2019):
@Gorbz : I would file a bug to Mint distribution. Maybe their packaging scripts do something wrong.
@AdrianKoshka commented on GitHub (Jul 8, 2019):
fwiw, I think mint uses the flatpak, I could be wrong.
@dregimbal commented on GitHub (Jul 8, 2019):
I suggested building from source instead of using the flatpak because it didn't work for me on the flatpak on Ubuntu either
Glad you got it working @Gorbz
@m3chstaa commented on GitHub (Jun 2, 2020):
I have the same problem using Pop_OS!
Barrier just gets stuck at "Barrier is starting".
I tried the command above "git clone https...." but still didn't work. When I run barrier now I can see in the terminal window it has a problem...
"The program 'barrier' called 'DNSServiceRegister() which is not supported in the Apple Bonjour compatibility layer of Avahi.

@m3chstaa commented on GitHub (Jun 3, 2020):
I'm sorry for my lack of knowledge. Tell me what you need to know and I'll try and find out. How do I find my version of Avahi?
I have not built barrier from git as I don't know how to do that.
Kind regards,
Lee.

Server runs normally: "Barrier is running"
Client gives : "Barrier is starting".
Screen names match
Server IP's match
Other info
When did the problem start to occur? When I installed it. Immediately.
Is there a way to work around it? No.
Does this bug prevent you from using Barrier entirely? Yes
I would really like to ask for some help.

@m3chstaa I did ask for the template to be filled in - but not here. In #729, you can edit your initial post, and paste the template there, then fill it in...

Whoops, didn't mean to open that.

Disable SSL on the windows server side helped for me

This is where my Mac log stops when use Windows 10 as the server
@AvgOrdinaryGuy commented on GitHub (Jul 2, 2021):
Hey guys! I've been using Barrier for a few months now, and everything was dandy. But then two or three weeks ago, I switch client laptops (stopped using Windows 10 and swapped in a Debian 10 laptop), and after trying to change configurations, have not been able to get Barrier working again since on the Kubuntu server. "Barrier is Starting" is as far as it ever goes. The client machines still start fine. So far I've tried making sure the firewall is disable, installed from repositories, snap and built from source from git. Same result all different ways.
