Windows 10, Barrier never starts #1326
Comments
Do you have a non standard ASCII character (like é è à ù) in your username or your filepath to barrier's configuration? I had the same issue and changing the configuration's path fixed it for me. |
How can I modify the path of the configuration file? As a client, I don't see anything that can be modified. |
Non-standard paths have been supposedly fixed in #979 |
I was encountering the same issue and the hint by @GroobleDierne really helped. My windows installation decided to take my first name which includes a special-character for my users path. So just saving the config in barrir and then reopening it from a "ascii-valid" path should fix the issue |
Glad it helped |
I also encountering it now after like years of usage. I don't even had the special character in my name or path to barrier configuration. Instead I am not seeing any barrier configuration file in AppData/Local/Barrier folder in my users folder. I tried removing app and associated folder in hopes upon reinstalling automatic configuration file would generate but alas. |
What happened?
Description
I've gone through windows firewall and tried everything I've researched, but i cannot get barrier to run on my machine. I have had the application change the status from 'Barrier is starting.' to 'Barrier is running.' only 2 times since it was installed. I am trying to use my windows pc as the server and connect my raspberry pi running raspberry pi os as a client. I'll list my logs and other data below.
