JudMac Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I bought Synergy Basic and installed it on the server. I went to install it on the first client. I told it to auto configure. When I checked the auto configure box, it said that I needed to install Bonjour. I did that, but then the Bonjour box said "not responding". I uninstalled Synergy and tried again, but I got the same error. How do I fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Suarez Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Hi @JudMac. You can use the v1.9.0 installer instead. You can get it from Download Synergy 1.9-rc3 (Fixes the macOS WiFi lag bug) forums thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudMac Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 I removed the old version from the first client and installed the new version. This time it was able to install Bonjour. The client says that it connected to the server. However, I'm not able to set up hotkeys to switch between computers. I went to Server Configuration, Hotkeys tab. I decided to use alt-0 to switch to the server and alt-1 to switch to the first client (the first of several). I added the new keystrokes, then I went over to actions, with each keystroke highlighted and added actions. For alt-0 the action is SwitchToScreen( server name) and for alt-1 the action is SwitchToScreen( first client name), but the hotkey doesn't switch to the client. What am I doing wrong?

Paul Suarez Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Can you post your configuration file for me to try and analyze what seems to be stopping it from doing what you wanted to happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Suarez Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Have you defined as to which screen those keystrokes will be implement? Like "keystroke(Alt+0) = switchToScreen(BB)," have you set this to be implemented only when your in "Phi" screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudMac Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 BB is the server and Phi is the first client. I set the keystrokes on the server but not on the client. I'll do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudMac Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 There doesn't seem to be a way to set the keystrokes on the client. Maybe I'm not doing it correctly, but the config file says: keystroke(Alt+0) = switchToScreen(BB) keystroke(Alt+1) = switchToScreen(Phi) One thing - I have these two computers on a KVM switch - could that matter? I have other computers around the house that are not on the KVM switch, but they are on their own switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Suarez Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Have you used the numbers on the numpad when you added the hotkeys? Are you using the numbers on the numpad when keying in the hotkeys? Have you tried keying it in using the numbers on top instead of the numpad keys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudMac Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 I'm pretty sure that I used the numbers on the top all of the time. I just deleted the alt-1 and redid it, using the top, and then tested it, but it still didn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Suarez Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Can you post screenshots of the hotkeys tab on your server configuration interface? I just tried setting the same thing on my setup and it works fine for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudMac Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 I have the second one highlighted. When the first one is highlighted, it shows switch to BB. I have these two computers on a KVM sqitch - could that matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Suarez Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 That might really matter. Anyways, what is that failed registration of hotkey (screenshot)? What is that for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudMac Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 That screenshot was a message I received. Notice that the log says that it connected to Phi (the first client). I have three computers in my office on a KVM switch and eight upstairs on another KVM switch. I want to be able to control all of them from my main computer because I need to swap files, run programs, etc. I could probably do without the KVM switch on these three computers, but I need it on the others for when I'm up there doing things, like rebooting, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
