check your logs and perhaps increase the verbosity if you don't see anything. I've had a similar experience and see the following log:

[2021-03-01T22:11:38] INFO: starting server
[2021-03-01T22:11:38] INFO: config file: /tmp/Barrier.umCZdI

[2021-03-01T22:11:38] WARNING: failed to register hotkey Alt+Grave (id=0060 mask=0004)
started server (IPv4), waiting for clients

In my case, that hotkey was registered by another application prior to starting barrier.

@curiousercreative Thanks for the suggestion. I couldn't figure out an option to increase the verbosity. Please suggest how can I increase the verbosity.

@cksachdev in the main Barrier server window, there's a menu across the top and the entry furthest to the left is "Barrier"; if you click that, there will be an entry labeled "Change Settings". At the bottom of the Settings window there is a section for logging; you can see information about hotkeys by changing the logging level to Debug1

I'm having the same trouble. When I set the log level to "debug" I see could not map hotkey id=ef14 mask=0000

I've tried a lot of different hotkey triggers at this point. I've been choosing obscure ones intentionally so there shouldn't be any clashes with other apps' hotkeys. So far no luck.

Not sure if that's the same issue, but shortcuts on client machines also don't work for me (Ubuntu 22.04), but work on server. Any advice would be really appreciated.

I had an issue where I would see the SSL cert does not exist...following the instructions to manually generate the certificate solved the problem for me: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/1952
