This is related to this closed issue https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/44
Every time I reboot the client the Server IP is blank.
Barrier Version
2.3.2
Steps to reproduce bug
- Setup the server on macOS.
- Setup the client on Ubuntu.
- At this point, the Barrier should be working fine.
- Reboot the client.
- Confirm that the Server IP field is empty.

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:
1) open a new Konsole in ~/usr/local/bin
2) run sudo ./barrier in the above mentioned folder (important as you will need sudo privileges to create a file in this folder)
3) add your server ip and any other setting on the barrier gui
4) 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)
5) Profit
