What are you talking about? Barrier is in the Debian repository and if you don't like snap you can use the flatpak version. |

Why on earth would you use SNAP packages on Debian? What do you think Debian is? Ubuntu? Use the one that's already packaged in Debian. sudo apt-get install barrier should do just fine... or if you would like to get a Debian package you need to ask more politely. Manners Maketh Man But you were asleep at that time I guess. |

🤠 Nix Cowboy here.
Or add it to your system config for all users to have access to barrier permanently like this: {
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [ barrier ];
}I've made a commit to show you how easy this is here |

You can even build a whole virtual machine with
{ pkgs, ... }: {
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [ barrier ];
users.users.matthew = {
isNormalUser = true;
extraGroups = [ "wheel" ]; # Enable ‘sudo’ for the user.
password = "aptsux";
};
}
You'll boot into a virtual machine wherein the user Demo |

Maintainer here. a) You're being disrespectful toward a free product, and the developers. Don't be so entitled. b) There's already a Barrier package in Debian. c) Stop using profanity. We can resolve your issues, but only if you are not abusive. If this issue deteriorates, I will have no hesitation in locking the issue. To everyone else: thank you for being so patient and helping with this issue. My apologies for not turning up sooner... Nix is a good idea. Never used it myself though. |

Well perhaps in the future you can tell us first what version of Debian you're using. That would go a long way to getting an answer to your question. And since it is in the main repository on Debian 10 that means that it's packaged for Debian 10 and tested for that particular Debian version. Now if you would like the developer and/or the maintainer to try and give Debian 9 a go and try to make Barrier work with it you need to ask in a different way; since it means they have to go out of their way and do all kinds of extra work (if they decide to do so) to accommodate a user that won't upgrade (for whatever reason) their Debian installation (for which they are not responsible for). You can try Flatpak since in Debian 9 that's probably the only way you could get it running for you... and since you don't want to recompile the kernel... and God Forbid reboot... To put out the fires from your F bombs without getting you banned in the process... here's what you can try: Open a terminal and type:
Then you can check whether barrier will run on Debian 9 So you see @feraldruid22, it's not just as simple as "Why no apt-get package?". Hope this helps you out. |

Thank you for this calm response. Well laid out, and well said. With regards to IPv6: you do not need to recompile the kernel. Nor reboot. Its a kernel parameter, or you could set it by creating a config in It's not that difficult. If you don't want to reboot straight away, you should be able to reload sysctl, but off the top of my head, I cannot recall the specifics. I'm sure it's easily googleable. With regards to supporting Debian 9, I don't intend to make any special effort to support it. Especially not after your behaviour. I'm not sure why you don't want to upgrade to Debian 10 - is there a reason? On the README, there is an embed of Barrier packages on various distros. See: https://repology.org/project/barrier/versions. That should give you a rough idea of what is supported on Debian, and elsewhere in terms of Barrier versions. |

Closing - given the lack of reply from OP, and the fact we have all tried to assist as well, I see no reason to keep this open. |

So what I found it how to install it on Debian:
https://snapcraft.io/install/barrier/debian#install
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
sudo snap install core
sudo snap install barrier
My problem with this is that it would install ShitD, please no!
Can't you just provide a deb package?
Thank you.
