MArkusDD 0 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I have to confirm the same on Cataline with a Windows machine as server. I usualy only need my mac mini on weekends and when I get it out of sleepmode I end up with this error. Works fine for a few days. but usually after a break of more than 5 days you have to get a physical keyboard or remote login to fix the problem. Any news? Link to post Share on other sites
vkoser 0 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 This happens to me as well, I logged a support ticket on June 29 and suggestion was reinstall which has not helped. I have been using synergy for years and have been putting up with this every few days and restarting does resolve it as a workaround, but it is not a permanent fix. Can the synergy team take this up as a bug and look into it? I think we've all done lots of working around it which is fine for temporary, but this is effecting a set of users beyond just me based on this thread and I would like to see a permanent fix vs us all needing to drag out a keyboard to restart the mac side. I am happy to provide any logs etc required, the support ticket I submitted is ID 132279 on zendesk which has my client/server logs etc.. Link to post Share on other sites
afdy 0 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Happens to me too - macOS Catalina 10.15.5, Synergy 1.11.1 - occasionally i get this error for seemingly no reason (often when i come back to my macs in a morning). I need to quit and restart and then it works fine. odd! Link to post Share on other sites
afdy 0 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Just re-formatted hard disk and re-installed latest version of macOS Catalina (10.15.6) - same problem still exits. Works all day long fine, come back the next morning to the dreaded error! Restart of synergy resolves immediately. Link to post Share on other sites
kelly 0 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 This happened to me and has not been fixed. Support wanted to log into my Mac, which I'm not comfortable with. Hasn't been fixed for years. The trouble is that the issue happens intermittently, sometimes days before it shows up. Link to post Share on other sites
alex82 0 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I'm experiencing the same problem on Intel Mac OS Big Sur latest (11.2), Intel Mac, Synergy latest as downloaded from the website - It's not intermittent - tried the chmod and rm-f instructions above, to no avail - this prevents me from using Synergy - I have changed application permissions via Finder info box as well - I have tried giving full disk permissions in Security settings to see if it solves it, but it does not Looking forward to seeing the team look into this fix tl;dr - Synergy doesn't work with Mac OS Big Sur for me.

alex82 0 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I could make it run with 1.11.1 But the version that gets served from this website when you purchase is 1.8.8 which doesn't work. Also in 1.11.1 I had to manually add a server in the preferences. It did not auto detect. Link to post Share on other sites
