From the customizations box, ticking the auto box in client does not do anything helpful, however if I type the server ip address into the client field this is accepted and after confirming identity of server I’m up and running with shared keyboard/mouse.

Mint Server installs as expected and seems to work fine, customisation is made to indicate it as server with a client of “raspberrypi”.īarrier install on Raspberry client seems to proceed clean per your instructions however it does not appear in the applications list and the only way I seem to have to initiate it is to type “barrier” into a terminal and this will then bring up the customizations box. I am using it between a 32bit Linux Mint (19.1) as server and for purpose of testing here an entirely fresh Rasberry OS down loaded onto a RPi3B as client.

Using information you have provided I have set it up and “sort of” got it working but with some issues, perhaps you can give some pointers of what I am or am not doing correctly. Thanks Gordon, brilliant article for great idea really helpful as I inevitably attempt to enter commands using the wrong keyboard! If you use Barrier to clean up your workspace, make sure to share a ‘before’ and ‘after’ photo with us on Twitter. And, if you have enough desktop space for even more monitors, you can continue to add devices to Barrier until your room ends up looking something like this: You can now use your mouse and keyboard across both your computers. If you leave Auto config selected, Barrier should just work, as long as the screen name is correct (you can change this by clicking Barrier and then Change settings) and matches the name you told the server.Īnd there you have it. Select Barrier and, this time, choose Client. Once installation is complete, Barrier should appear in the Accessories drop-down menu, which you can access via the main menu icon (the Raspberry Pi logo in the top right-hand corner). Now turn to your Raspberry Pi, open a terminal window (Ctrl-Alt-T if you didn’t know), and run:

Download Barrier to your Raspberry Pi computer Click OK here and on the Server configuration‘ dialogue. The only thing you need to do here is to set the screen name. Next, double-click the new ‘Unnamed’ screen to set it up. It will default to being called ‘Unnamed’. Click on the computer screen in the top-right and drag it to where you want it to appear in relation to the server. Select the Server option (the server is the one that has the keyboard and mouse that you want to share). You can either follow the video tutorial shared above, or continue reading below: Download barrier to your main computerįirst, download and install Barrier from the developers’ installation page: /debauchee/barrier/releasesĪt the end of the installation, the application will run.

Download and set up Barrierīarrier is free to use, and simple to set up. It lets you simply drag your cursor from screen to screen, from device to device, as if by magic.

In the same way one may set up multiple monitors for one computer, and move the mouse cursor seamlessly between them, Barrier allows you to share peripherals between multiple computers, allowing you to host your keyboard and mouse on one computer. If only there was a way to share my mouse and keyboard across multiple computers without having to flick switches or unplug USBs.

And, that’s okay, but…īut that’s not quite what I want: I like having the mass-screen real-estate around me, and I like just glancing to the left to see my Raspberry Pi on its own screen. Solutions to this problem have existed for a very long time, known as KVM (keyboard, video and mouse) switches many people use these to switch (literally with a big toggle switch) between computer 1, 2, and 3 while using a single screen.īut if that’s what you want to do, the best solution is to use VNC on each of the computers so you can use a single display, keyboard, and mouse to access each of their screens and bring them all together. It’s cluttered with Raspberry Pis of random types, with little tags saying what’s wrong or right about each one, and then there’s every manner of SD card, adapter, JTAG connector, headphones, and whiteboard marker pens you can dream of filling the gaps.īut one thing that really annoys me is that I tend to have a mouse and keyboard per computer, and I’ve got at least four computers running at my desk at any one time. Talking to people in our office, you’ll find that it’s mostly because I only clear it properly once a year, or leave it entirely until the next time we move office!
