Michael L Shooltz 0 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I have been running synergy for years now since before it was a paid for application, and I have never ran into this one before. After updating to v1.8.8 the gui will no longer open when I launch synergy, however the server launches fine in the background and it works fine. Last time I set it up I used the gui editor and i did not save the config anywhere but now i wish to change the config slightly and cannot figure out how to do so.  Earlier today I did a full reinstall of synergy on my linux workstation here, and somehow it still loaded the old config and went right to running with no gui again.. I weny as far as to use updatedb and locate to remove every file on my workstation that had rpm in the name, after removing the rpm a second time and this hidden config is still present somewhere. Any tips would be great.  My workstation: CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core) rpm installed: synergy-v1.8.8-stable-25a8cb2-Linux-x86_64.rpm  Link to post Share on other sites
Michael L Shooltz 0 Posted July 22, 2017 Author Share Posted July 22, 2017 After much searching and reading the full strace output I figured out that synergy was reading a hidden config file located at "/home/mike/.config/Synergy/Synergy.conf" that had autohide set to true and was causing all of my problems. When I initially searched for all the files to synergy, I never thought to search for files starting with a cap S.  if anyone else run into this check that file location.

Andres 0 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Thank you so much!!!! I enabled autohide by mistake. I was going crazy trying to find out where the config file was at. Another thing I fixed there was the source IP of server I have new IP it was keep coming back with the old one. Thanks again. Link to post Share on other sites
