Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/621

Operating Systems

Server: Win10 Pro 10.0.18363 Build 18363

Client: CentOS Linux release 8.1.1911 (Core)

Barrier Version

2.3.2-snapshot-210c2b70 (windows)
Barrier-kvm 2.2.0 (centos8.1/ snap install)

Steps to reproduce bug

Maybe not much of a bug, but a compatibility issue

Windows install works flawlessly.

The install on Centos8 .1 does not work unless some configurations are changed.

Centos8.1 - Barrier won't start as it cannot find wayland-egl, despite it being installed.

To get it to start I had to modify /etc/gdm3/custom.conf and un-comment WaylandEnable=False

Once it starts, I am able to get my Centos machine to connect to my Windows machine and it works fine.

Other info

Sharing this info for anybody else that may want to use barrier on Centos. I did not find an easy solution and had to scrub the logs to find out what was going on when trying to start the application.

Barrier currently does not support Wayland.

I'm closing this bug as a duplicate of #247. The bug for actual Wayland support is in #109.
