So I have the service running on my Win7 machine, everything connects and I can see that a connection has been established in the logs on both the server (Win7) and the client (10.7). The mouse however will not pass from the server to the client. It just stops at the edge of the screen.
Everything seems to work perfectly if I run the gui version and stop the service on the server with the same configuration file.
I can turn up the logging level and try again if it is any help.

I am running the server on mac osX and have a Windows7 client. The mouse is very lagging and skips ahead regularly. I've scoured the forum (here and others) looking for a solution. I have turned off scroll lock and set logging to Error (assuming that is the lowest). These did not seem to help. I am connecting wirelessly so maybe that is typical - not sure. Any input is appreciated.
Hi
Please help, I have tried googling this, but I am just getting no where. I have Windows 8 Laptop (server) and a OS X 10.8 laptop (client). I have installed it on my Windows 8 laptop, but I keep getting this error ERROR: cannot read configuration "C:/xxxxxxxxxxx/qt_temp.Ya1588": read error: line 34: unknown screen name in switchToScreen synergys.exe: no configuration available I have edited that file but no change.
Please advise what I can do, as it just doesn't want to start.
When I first upgraded to Mavericks Synergy worked fine. Recently I started noticing a lag issue, cursor movements and typing was delayed sometimes, othertimes it would become unresponsive with Synergy Client running on my Mac. I rebooted and left the Log window open and found constant disconnects, it would alway reconnect but it would drop the connection and the cursor would jump back to the Server.
I found a work around that makes it mostly usable again. I went in to my Applications folder and opened Get Info on the Synergy.app and checked the 'Prevent App Nap' box. Much more responsive now.
There is a tutorial for autostart Synergy client before logging in LightDM. But in Ubuntu 13.10 there is no file lightdm.conf anymore, so I don't know where to put lines for autorun. The point is, I want to be able to control my computer before logging in.
The line for running Synergy looks like this: greeter-setup-script=/usr/bin/synergyc <server hostname="">
I am using opensuse 13.1 with xfce as synergy client. Synergy is started using standard xfce autostart functionality. Everything works ok but I don't see notification icon in xfce panel. When I start synergy manually from menu the notification icon is displayed. Is there any way to show this icon if synergy is autostarted by xfce ?
Hi
I used the donate button to download. I donated $10 and when the download page appeared I thought I had an account but it turns out that I have an account for the Q&A site but not for the Synergy site.
My email address is purvez@nexar.free-online.co.uk and I logged in to the Q&A site using Google's ID.
Please can you tell me what I must do to set up my Premium Login?
Many thanks.

SOLVED: I hadn't realised that an email had been sent to me with a link for creating the account. Sorry!!
I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04 from 11.10 and am now having problems with Synergy. The Client is being forcefully rejected.The client is on an XP and the client version is 1.3.1. I've been using Synergy now for over 2 years and this upgrade has thrown something off. My Server version is 1.3.8.
I can ping from one machine to the other quite happily.
The strange thing is that I upgraded yesterday (4 Jan '14) and immediately after the upgrade Synergy was working fine between the 2 machines. Today the client is continuously being forcefully rejected.
Any thoughts please?
[SOLVED] I upgraded synergy to 1.4.15 on ubuntu and 1.4.12 on XP and got it to work after some jigging around. Synergy Premium Help desk was VERY QUICK and helpful in this regard.
Please can anyone tell me where Synergy 1.4.15 is installed on Ubuntu 12.04 and also what the program name is. For Synergy 1.3.8 it was under /usr/bin/quicksynergy.
I just want to create a shortcut for starting it manually rather than finding it through Unity.
Thanks
I'm trying to upgrade from Synergy 1.3.8 Server on an Ubuntu 12.04 install on an Acer Aspire 5750. I've done the following steps.

Finally it offers me the option of 'OK' or 'Ignore and install'
I have chosen OK and that has closed the window and stopped the upgrade.
Any idea where I should head next please? Thanks in advance.
[SOLVED] Eventually I just used the dpkg command line inside a term as follows:
sudo dpkg -r synergy-1.4.15-Linux-x86_64.deb
That worked fine.

I've been using Synergy for quite awhile without issue between a Windows 7 Synergy client and OS X 10.6.8 Synergy server. Suddenly, last night it stopped working. I was running 1.4.12 on both nodes. The connection from Windows 7 appears to be established but, according to the log, after 15 seconds or so it times out. On the Mac, the log doesn't show any connection from a client. Here's what I've tried so far:
With debug logging enabled I observed the following:
OS X as server
It appears that Synergy on the Mac has just stopped communicating (even after deleting Synergy, rebooting and starting a new version). As far as I can tell nothing else changed on either system when the problem occurred. It just stopped working and hasn't worked since. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, I have successfully installed Synergy on 2 of my laptops. However I have another laptop which is connected to my home network but is alos connected to a VPN network liking into work. I have become admin on my work pc and synergy is running as service, however it is not connecting to the Synergy server. I only get the message: Warning: failed to connect so server: Timed out
I'm able to ping my server using the PC name,and I have updated the server name in the synergy tool to use the name, actually the IP address resolution works fine. Still no luck...
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks Jens
How can I get synergy to work while on VPN? Is it possible?
Hi has anyone configured an earlier Mac G4 running OSX 10.4.11? I downloaded the version, but I find the configuration process completely beyond my comprehension. It's not very 'step by step'. Thanks..
Hello, I am trying to install synergy on a newly installed system (opensuse 13.1). I had no problem compiling synergy on my older installation, but now the configure script ends with the following error:
CMake Error at tools/CMakeLists.txt:87 (add_library):
Cannot find source file:
cryptopp562/3way.cpp
I have the following packages installed on my system:
i | gnu-crypto | GNU Crypto
i | libcryptopp-5_6_2-0 | Cryptographic Library for C++
i | libcryptopp-5_6_2-0-32bit | Cryptographic Library for C++
i | libcryptopp-devel | Cryptographic Library for C++
Any ideas how to make this work?
Thank you, Petr
Hi Guys
I have come across a little problem? I love using synergy, It's great, however ... I was wondering how to "unlock" windows on client machines. Our machines require "CTRL+ALT+DEL" to access the client login screen. if I hit "Ctrl+ALT+DEL" it is my server machine that pops up the security screen. is there any way around this? I don't really want to plug-in a keyboard to the client just to do that!
I am very grateful for Synergy. I was using MS Garage when all my rigs were Win boxes. When my main rig became OSX, I found synergy to be a life saver.
Here is my setup: Primary Rig / Synergy Server - Mac Book Pro - Retina Display - OSX 10.8.5 (not Mav) - Synergy Encryption Enabled Client Rig - Windows 7 64 bit Desktop - Synergy Encryption Enabled
The mouse hand over between the two rig is great. I move to the edge, and the mouse goes from OSX to Windows. All my keyboard and mouse commands works great. I am able to click and drag, and move the mouse around.
The problem is that the mouse resolution / DPI on the Windows box is terrible. The resolution is so low that I cannot put the cursor on a box to resize. If I slowly move the mouse on the client machine, I can see the pointer jump by a few mm at a time. Its to the point where the pointer is on side of the box, no matter how slow i move it, it still jumps a few mm.
I want to see if there is a setting where I can make the mouse scrolling smoother, or increase the resolution dpi.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I have a keyboard designed for Windows (has Control button), So I can't use the copy and paste shortcuts on my MAC when I am using Synergy.
Is there anyway I can go around this...Thanks
