client dies and needs to be reconnected.

[geolaw]

long long long time paid synergy user who converted over to barrier back in October (my rhlaptop client below did not like synergy and barrier was in the default epel repo)

I have several linux computers connected using barrier -
my server is running on Fedora 35, along with a F35 client (barrier-2.4.0-1.fc35.x86_64)
and then another client (my work laptop) running RHEL8 (barrier-2.4.0-1.el8.x86_64)

I connect the work laptop every morning at 8AM and then later in the afternoon - all of the sudden I will lose the RHEL client. Some times 4PM, sometimes sooner, today it happened at 2:30PM I am not certain enough to say that this happens every day but at least 4 out of 5 days a week.

When this happens, the server barrier.log show s"rhlaptop is dead"

I have a wireless USB keyboard connected so I can ALT+F2 and start barrier to resume the connection.

Later at the end of the day when shutting down the RHEL8 laptop, it reports "barrier is not responding" - which I believe to be the original instance.

I can see 2 instances each of barrier and barrierc

The RHEL8 laptop is the only client I have this issue with. The 2 fedora machines (client + server) stay connected reliably. I can reboot one or the other or both and they always come back up and reconnect.
