How to start barrierc with linux/bsd "greeter" ? #823

I'm seeing issues when trying to start barrierc with sddm (kde).

Server is Windows 10 2004, latest builds of barrier on server and clients.

If I start the client via SDDM /usr/local/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup - The keys on the client get scrambled ( #662 ):
barrierc --daemon --display :0 --no-xinitthreads --debug INFO --name dev --enable-drag-drop --enable-crypto [ServerIP]:24800

So far I haven't figured out a way to be able to use barrier to "log in" onto a client (sddm / gdm / etc), I'm forced to use autologin and start barrierc after log in, however, that is not a proper solution (its not a solution at all).

If someone knows a workaround on how to start barrierc with linux "greeters" and not have the keyboard keys swapped / missing - let me know.

There's this discussion on this request (i.e: for a display manager [greeter]): #540.

There's also a PR to add systemd units for Barrier - #694 - which you could - potentially - link to the default.target unit.. once merged.
