zeroconf: permission denied.

What happened?

I’m unable to obtain the server’s IP address while using Barrier on Kali Linux.
The connection fails with a “Permission denied” error.

Any suggestions or solutions would be appreciated.

Please try Deskflow or Input Leap as Barrier is no longer in development.

https://github.com/deskflow/deskflow
https://github.com/input-leap/input-leap

Both are compatible with Barrier client/server so you can try on one of your computers. Although zeroconf has been dropped from Deskflow (but I think it's still limping along in the old Input Leap fork).

Thank you very much for replying. Yes, I tried Deskflow after I was unable to resolve the issue with Barrier, and it works smoothly.

Thanks again for your response!

@salimshre Awesome, thanks for confirming.
@sithlord48 Deskflow to the rescue! 👍

Edit: I wonder why the icon is missing here. What Linux distro are you on?

[salimshre]

not sure why the icon isn't showing though

Any idea what might cause that?

Ah my bad, you did say that already:
