Try the following: Open the client on the guest. Put in the ip, in the menu press barrier -> save configuration, choose a save location and name, close the client without pressing start.

Eventually i got it to work this way.

This seemed to work for me:

open a new Konsole in ~/usr/local/bin
run sudo ./barrier in the above mentioned folder (important as you will need sudo privileges to create a file in this folder)
add your server ip and any other setting on the barrier gui
use the barrier tab on the gui to "save configuration" now save it to ~/usr/local/bin and call it ".barrier.sgc" (the sgc part is super important)
Profit

This workaround works on one device for me, but not on another?!?

I copied the .barrier.sgc file to ~/.local/bin on Linux Mint and that worked for me.

Am also having this issue after fresh install of Linux Mint using Gnome on Surface Pro 7. Everything else works except barrier doesn't start on login and it never loads saved conf file. When I tried the above in terminal at /usr/local/bin$ sudo ./barrier, I get "command not found." And saving config does not appear to save file as .sgc, but rather just a text file. A search where I saved it in home for *.sgc, including typing the name of the file I can see there, does not find any .sgc files. If I type the IP address and hit start, it continues to say, "Barrier is starting" yet the mouse & keyboard start working.
