Before anyone wastes time reading this entire thread, I would suggest that if you actually have this problem, skip to the second page and look for my post titled RESOLVED. It may save you a ton of wasted time. Okay, I had this posted a couple of days ago, but no responses and I've totally changed the configuration too, so I came back in to edit the entire post.Can't get Synergy working at all.
View 9 RepliesI am running Ubuntu 11.04 on two machines; older dell desktop and an acer laptop. I have loaded quick synergy on both but can't get it to work. I have followed the install guides using proper server/client names in appropriate boxes etc. Removed and re-installed and still no luck. One question does multiple work spaces which seems to be a default setting interfere with quick synergy? Maybe there is an easy explanation to this problem but I haven't found one so far and have been searching the net for a couple of days.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using Quicksynergy on my desktop (Ubuntu 10.04) computer as the server and Synergy on my Laptop (Windows XP) which is right beside my desktop.Everything works well for a while, but randomly seems to stop working. When I look into the problem, it seems that its with Quicksynergy on my desktop.I find that I have to quit Quicksynergy and open the system resources application to kill the Synergy daemon (or whatever it is) that Quicksynergy uses.Restarting Quicksynergy after killing the daemon fixes the problem as my laptop always reconnects perfectly fine.Does anyone else have this problem in Ubuntu? I'd like to get this fixed so I don't have to keep killing the synergy process and restarting Synergy.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm having some serious issues using Synergy between my desktop and my netbook. Both are running Ubuntu 11.04.
I installed quicksynergy from the software center and everything started ok. I wanted my desktop to be the server, I opened quick synergy and put in the IP address of my netbook, which I got from connection infromation>IP address, then hit execute and close. Next on the netbook, I opened quick synergy put in my desktop's IP address (acquired from the same location) in the "Server hostname/IP address:" box and my netbook's name in the "Screen name:" box. I hit execute and close.
Now when I move my cursor from the right side of my desktop's screen where it should move over to the netbook, the cursor jumps to the middle of the screen on the desktop and does nothing to the netbook.
I think port 24800 is firewalled in my linux machine. i tried synergy to sue as a server in linux and doesnt work. i tried from the windows computer and works!
So... I telnet (from linux) to an address: telnet 192.168.0.1 24800 and the time is out (so a firewall is blocking this port).
My simple question: How do I open this port so i can get the synergy server in my linux box?
I'm having an issue with ufw and Synergy. I'm trying to run my Xubuntu 10.10 desktop as a server, and my Xubuntu 10.10 laptop as a client. I can do this just fine as long as I either: Have ufw enabled on my client but disabled on my server Have ufw disabled on both my client and my server I have no custom rules added to iptables on my client. On my server, however, I have tried the following rules:
$ ufw allow from 192.168.0.0/24 to any port 24800 $ ufw allow from 192.168.0.0/24
Neither of these configurations works. ufw on my server seems to block my client's requests regardless of having port 24800 fully open from any local connection, or just flat-out fully allowing any incoming local connection. I'm not sure why ufw seems to be ignoring the rules I'm creating, but as it stands right now, the only way I can connect the two is if I have ufw on my server disabled. And I have tried to ping the two machines; each machine can ping the other, even if ufw is running on both.
And I can ping the router, as well, from both machines. Any ideas on where to go from here to troubleshoot? I should probably also add that I am using the same configuration file that I do on vanilla Ubuntu (with updated host names, of course), and I have no problems in Ubuntu. This seems to be specific to ufw and my Xubuntu desktop. I can paste the code for my server's configuration file, if desired.
My mother would like to get GNU/Linux installed on her laptop however she has a Windows desktop that she would like to share the keyboard/mouse with laptop and desktop - I found Synergy and it installs on both platforms, but does anyone know if I can share the mouse between a Windows and Linux system or do both have to be the same platform?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've been using synergy for a while and love it. I recently upgraded both of my desktop PCs at home from 9.10 to 10.04 (both x64 ubuntu studio). Now, Synergy doesn't appear to want to work. I've tested with both the cli command referencing a config file on the server and using quicksynergy on both machines and it just doesn't connect. I verified on my "server" that synergy is listening on port 24800 (can telnet to that port from the client machine). I manually disabled the firewall on both machines as well and it doesn't seem to make a difference. It never gives an error on the client, it just never makes the connection. I've tested this with 2 separate 10.04 clients. I also brought one of these boxes (a laptop) to work where I use Synergy between 2 windows boxes. It won't connect to those either.
I've tried connecting both using hostname and IP address (both worked in the past on 9.10) and neither work.
I'm setting a bit of a game center with a spare computer I have laying around and needed to share my wireless from my laptop to this computer. Everything went smoothly until I installed Synergy... Apparently, when a connection is shared over Ethernet, Ubuntu decides to put the second computer on NAT. Is there a way for this not to happen? I need it in order to use Synergy.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem trying to uninstall Quicksynergy all the way.first i did sudo apt-get remove synergy then sudo apt-get purge synergy.Checked in synaptic manager and software center that they did not show it. reinstalled synergy through the software center. and it is still showing me the name/ ip of my client.so this tells me it did not uninstall everything. i have searched the file system for synergy.conf with no luck been high and low on the web but no luck.

I just applied the latest updates via update manager, and now Synergy doesn't work right... (was working before the update was applied). Connects, but once the mouse gets to the computer running 10.04 it acts all crazy like and I have no mouse control and a hard time releasing the mouse going back to the server.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'd like Synergy to auto-start before and after login. After login is fine, but I can't find instructions for getting it to start before login (ie: so I can use synergy to enter user id/password). The Synergy docs don't cover LXDE.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have Synergy setup between a Windows XP computer (Dual monitors) and a Linux computer (Dual Monitors). So it goes [XP1] [XP2] [L1] [L2]. The XP computer is my server (running Synergy+).
Synergy seems to work fine going from XP1 XP2 and L1 but I can't get to L2. My cursor bumps up against the right edge of L1 and shakes a little but won't go over to L2. However if I plug a mouse directly up to the Linux box I can go between L1 and L2 just fine.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been using synergy on Ubuntu 9.04 and windows xp.Synergy 1.3.1 on both machines.My problem is that the server keeps cutting out. It seems to happen a lot when I watch flash videos on the server machine (ubuntu). This is what the server side looks like:
Code:
NOTE: synergys.cpp,500: started server
INFO: CServer.cpp,1141: screen "server" shape changed
NOTE: CClientListener.cpp,127: accepted client connection
[code]....
I dont think I usually get disconnected when doing other tasks. Mostly only when watching flash videos. Sometimes it doesnt automatically reconnect, and I have to kill synergys and restart it.
Is anyone else having issues with their mouse/keyboard responsiveness via Synergy after upgrading to 11.04?
If I plug mouse and keyboard directly into the desktop the issue goes away. But when I connect via QuickSynergy and share my mouse/keyboard the mouse is very slow and has low sensitivity.
I have a headless (kind of) Linux Mint computer with Synergy installed and a MacBook.
Is there any way I can use the headless computer as a Synergy server for the MacBook so I can use the Linux's KB/Mouse with the Mac?
Can any one tell me configuring Synergy to share Mouse & Keyboad within Windows client & Ubunto Linux Server?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using Mac as a main machine and Ubuntu Netbook as a secondary. Although synergy gives me a good control over Netbook when it works without external monitor, but when I activate VGA monitor, I can only move around the limited region (details are below).
Phenomenon: Cursor can move in the external monitor's screen. No way to move cursor into the netbook's screen via synergy (it's possible from local touchpad/mouse) In the external monitor's screen, curosor moves only within limited region, which I'm guessing is as large as the size of netbook's screen.
Configuration: Use dual screens (uncheck "Same image in all monitors" in the tool "Monitor" on Ubuntu)
Env:
- OS: Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook edition
- HW: Starling Netbook (star3)
I'm trying out Fedora 12 and am so far impressed by the speed (long time Ubuntu user but by no means an expert). I can't get synergy setup between the fedora box and two windows machines to the left and right. Am I missing something (with the difference between Ubuntu & Fedore perhaps)?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm using synergy+ with Windows XP as a server and a CentOS client. The mouse speed on the client (Linux) seems really slow. Is there a way to have the mouse speed from the server persist to the clients?
View 4 Replies View RelatedIn Synergy, is it possible to set up your config so that you have one server and one client, both with dual monitors, but the client machine has its monitors such that one is on the left of the server's left monitor, and the other is on the right of the server's right monitor? For example:
+----------+ +----------+ +----------+ +----------+
| client | | server | | server | | client |
| screen1 | | screen1 | | screen2 | | screen2 |
+----------+ +----------+ +----------+ +----------+
Hopefully my ASCII is good enough to understand. Both machines will be running Linux. If there's a way to do it by messing with xorg configs that would be perfectly acceptable too.
Im trying to run synergy on startup. This works fine on the client, but it wont start automatically on the server. I put this line in an entry in startup applications:

but still no dice.
I'm trying to get Synergy up and running between my Windows 7 (server) host and my Arch Linux (client) host. In rare exception, synergy works perfect on my windows host, however every time I try and run Synergy on my linux machine I get the following error in messages.log:
[code]...
I'm running Arch with a barebones Xorg install and SLiM with LXDE. I'm not sure what in the world is causing the problem and haven't been able to find anything of substance in a search.
When originally installing 11.04 I had problems getting my Ralink 5390 wireless card to work.
Today my computer froze completely and I had to turn it off via the power switch. When I turned it back on, wireless was no longer recognized! My iPod can connect to the network just fine, so it must be an Ubuntu problem. There are no problems with my ethernet connection either.
I researched this and found several threads about blocking and unblocking wireless devices using the rfkill command. Well, unfortunately for me the rfkill command doesn't work. When I type sudo rfkill list or sudo rfkill unblock all, nothing happens; it just returns me to my bash prompt. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling rfkill...nothing.
I have been looking around the forums searching for similar problems, it seems not only me had this problem. About a month ago I did a regular update via Upd Manager. The next day - no wired connection.Still managable, since the local library has wireless. Now that won't work either.Just after I upgraded from Jaunty, I accidentally removed NetwMngr from the top right corner of the screen, but that should not have anything to do with how the program works, right? I now cannot reach NM, if I run it from the terminal, nothing happens visibly.
