Synergy & Webex Issues


adunker

Recommended Posts

Running 1.8.8 stable on both machines, as well as both machines being on a wired gigabit network. 

When using Webex and presenting there are constant hangs on the client machine. Full hangs, (can't move the mouse even with the client's own mouse) for a second or two every minute or so. Anyone experiencing similar problems?

  • No SSL
  • Clipboard sharing disabled
  • Computers are Windows 10 Pro 64 bit
  • Wired Gigabit ethernet

Hi @adunker. Are you experiencing the same thing when you use Webex without using Synergy?

Nope, only when in use with Webex.

Wait I'm a bit confused with your answer @adunker. How about using Synergy alone (without Webex)? Do you experience the same thing?

Apologies for the confusion. No, I do not experience this as soon as I shutdown Synergy but still have Webex running. 

  • Just Synergy = no problem 
  • Just Webex = no problem 
  • Webex + Synergy = problem.

Experiencing these same issues.

Windows 8.1 x64 Server - Synergy 1.8.8

Windows 10 x64 Client - Synergy 1.8.8

 

I am running Webex on the client machine.  Many hangs. Synergy reports the client is dead during these hangs.  Client will recover and reconnect, but Webex definitely seems to be causing some issue.

I put both hosts into DEBUG mode and here's a snippet from the Server side during a Webex hangup.

longrow = client

milo = server

Same issue for me - I thought it was WebEx that was the problem, but digging into it, I disabled Synergy and ran a WebEx without issues.  

Server: Windows 10 Pro x64 - 1.8.8
Client: Windows 10 Enterprise x64 - 1.8.8

Enable/Disable SSL does not change the behavior - the client is hard locking every few moments on WebEx.  As others have noted, no other issue if WebEx is not running, but once it does, the client locks/freezes for a few moments every 30 seconds or so.

Would really like to see an update on this. It really ruins my workflow.

Hi, in case it helps. (I have been troubleshooting this for 1 hour... tried reinstalling and even using the 1.9 beta with no success).

the only thing that helped me was changing the Synergy process priorities to "high", in my case I have 3 processes Synergy, synergyd and synergys, one of them was at "realtime" and the others with normal priority.. after setting all of them in "high" the webex issue disappeared.

just so you know, I was like 30min into a call and then started to happen again, the process priority was reset to how it was before...
in case it helps, I did permanently change it using a priority saver.
