JeffA Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I have an application that requires we run Linux Debian Jessie, and I would like to have Synergy working with a Windows 7 machine directly next to the Linux machine. We also were hoping to have the Debian machine dual bootable, with windows 10 so that if needed we can boot into Linux or Windows and have Synergy working with the server running on the windows 7 machine and the clients being Debian or Windows 10 (Depending on what is booted). We have been somewhat successful in getting Debian working, but we have an issue that when we move from the Debian screen to the windows 7 screen, the debian computer goes to sleep immediately. Also, we are not able to control the boot menu on the Linux/windows client when the boot menu comes on. Finally, how would we arrange the windows for having the windows/Debian PC to the direct right of the windows 7 server machine (since only one machine will ever be on at one time)?

Paul Suarez Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Please provide more details about your machines (OS, 32/64 bit, Synergy version installed, connected to the network via Ethernet or Wi-Fi, specify which one is the server). Also, post a screenshot of both machine's Synergy interface and the Server Configuration interface on your server machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffA Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 Both computers are connected via gigabit ethernet Server is windows 7 pro 64 bit running synergy 1.7.6 On the dual boot machine the windows client is running windows 10 pro 64 bitwith synergy 1.7.6 the linux client is running Debian Jessie 8.8 64 bit with synergy 1.8.8 Server Screenshots Windows Client Screenshot Linux Client Screenshot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Suarez Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 It seems that the Linux client does not have an SSL fingerprint generated. Can you try stopping Synergy on it and close/quit Synergy then reboot machine. After rebooting, launch Synergy and check if it generates an SSL fingerprint.

JeffA Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 The generate ssl certificate checkbox was off on the linux machine. When I enabled it there was no longer any sleep when switching screens. Thank you! Any ideas on the second part of my question? How do I select the OS to boot in grub2 when the computer boots if that dual boot computer is the client and does not have a keyboard/mouse attached to it?

JeffA Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 I spoke too soon on this working. Now it crashes on launch. If I start synergy from the terminal I get the following errors caldera@CalderaCET:~$ synergy --debug QMetaObject::connectSlotsByName: No matching signal for on_windowShown() *** WARNING *** The program 'synergy' uses the Apple Bonjour compatibility layer of Avahi. *** WARNING *** Please fix your application to use the native API of Avahi! *** WARNING *** For more information see <http://0pointer.de/avahi-compat?s=libdns_sd&e=synergy> ("-f", "--no-tray", "--debug", "INFO", "--name", "CalderaCET", "--enable-crypto", "--log", "/var/log/synergy.log", "192.168.1.226:24800") and the screen goes immediately black. if you move the mouse to the server computer and then back to the client it sometimes comes back. Here is the new screenshot from the linux client Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Suarez Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Can you check this @JeffA? Windows 10 and Ubuntu dual boot, no grub2 when booting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffA Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 @Paul Suarez The issue is not with the dual boot and grub, the issue is that synergy is not loaded so I do not have a keyboard and mouse when grub loads so I can not select which os to boot into. Sorry for being unclear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Suarez Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 @JeffA, Synergy needs to run in an Operating System. This might not be possible on your current setup. But I wonder if you could set something on that machine to have it boot on the OS where you want Synergy to work in after an N number of seconds(unless you want it to work with both OS).

JeffA Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 @Paul Suarez Thanks for the reply on that. I kind of figured that was the case. Any insights into the other issue though? Where when I leave the linux client screen and then re enter it the screen goes black? See my post above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Suarez Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 That's interesting @JeffA. I actually just found out that we have a somewhat similar setup. I'm using an HP 2570P here with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 16.04 with Grub as well. But I am not experiencing such issue. Can you try disabling auto-start of Synergy and check if you experience the same thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffA Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 @Paul Suarez The autostart was not set up yet. This happens as soon as I start Synergy. I have started it via the command line, and also by clicking on the app in the menu. When I try the command line I get the following caldera@CalderaCET:~$ synergy --debug QMetaObject::connectSlotsByName: No matching signal for on_windowShown() *** WARNING *** The program 'synergy' uses the Apple Bonjour compatibility layer of Avahi. *** WARNING *** Please fix your application to use the native API of Avahi! *** WARNING *** For more information see <http://0pointer.de/avahi-compat?s=libdns_sd&e=synergy> ("-f", "--no-tray", "--debug", "INFO", "--name", "CalderaCET", "--enable-crypto", "--log", "/var/log/synergy.log", "192.168.1.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
