Upgraded to 1.8.3

[David Pinedo]

I received an email saying I should upgrade to 1.8.3 (I was previously running 1.7.6). Synergy wasn't broke, but I upgraded anyway.

 

Now the client cannot connect to the server. They are both Ubuntu 16.04 running Synergy 1.8.3. I get the following errors on the client:

 

[2016-09-26T09:56:26] INFO: starting client

[2016-09-26T09:56:26] INFO: detected process not running, auto restarting

 

Also, the /tmp directory is getting lots of files created in it of the name /tmp/qt_temp.*, and they aren't deleted.

 

Now my Synergy configuration is broken. I shouldn't have upgraded. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I would backup the current config file, and re-run the config wizard.
