swaziloo Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I'm not on a Mac here, but I can see you started the service and the Synergy2 UI. By "Cannot get to the settings screen" do you mean that you're unable to see the Synergy2 UI, or that you're looking for some sort of configuration option there? (Because, other than tilde (~) to open the log, and F12 to force server, there aren't any) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaterx2 Posted October 6, 2017 Author Share Posted October 6, 2017 In the previous version I had control over which machine was the server and which is the client. Is this no longer available? All I see is the following screen, which is not helpful at all: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trippout Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I am facing the same issue and my client is failing to connect saying "server refused client with our name" Server Logs: [ Core ] [2017-10-06T17:38:56] NOTE: accepted client connection [ Core ] [2017-10-06T17:38:56] DEBUG: received client "linuxbox" info shape=0,0 1920x1080 at 1435,263 [ Core ] [2017-10-06T17:38:56] WARNING: unrecognised client name "linuxbox", check server config [ Core ] [2017-10-06T17:38:56] NOTE: disconnecting client "linuxbox" [ Core ] [2017-10-06T17:38:56] DEBUG: active sides: 0 [ Core ] [2017-10-06T17:38:56] NOTE: client "linuxbox" has disconnected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swaziloo Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 From the Synergy2 window, pressing 'F12' will force that machine to become the server. The only other command at present is tilde '~' which opens the log. As there's only one computer showing up, the immediate question is whether the other computer is able to connect to the cloud.

trippout Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Pressing F12 resulted in a simple "Connection refused" message from my client, almost as if it stopped accepting client connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaterx2 Posted October 6, 2017 Author Share Posted October 6, 2017 ok, so now I have two computers showing up in the blue window. I have one designated as the server (by pressing F12) How do I get the mouse to the client? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaterx2 Posted October 6, 2017 Author Share Posted October 6, 2017 Also, Does version 2 require an external connection to Symless in order for it to work? If so, that's a show stopper for me. I don't want my keystrokes and mouse movements to be recorded by Symless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trippout Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I was never able to get the auto config to work, but creating the conf file manually and starting synergys from the command line (using the config I created) has gotten mine connected.

If so, that's a show stopper for me. I don't want my keystrokes and mouse movements to be recorded by Symless. To be clear: Symless does require a connection to the cloud, but what's sent up is only the locations (IP addresses), machine names, and orientation (relative location of the computers that you arrange in the window) of your environment. Generally, these IPs will not even be routable from outside your private network, so it's pretty "safe" from a security standpoint. None of your keystrokes, movements, or data (cut-and-paste, etc.) are ever sent to Symless or the cloud. The team is focused on building the automatic configuration at present, since this will serve the largest number of users. They have said there will be a version of Synergy2 that will allow configuration without a connection to the cloud, but this likely represents a small subset of the overall user base, so it's a lesser priority than getting the automatic config totally bulletproof.

Are you using Synergy2 beta4, @trippout? I'd be curious what you changed manually in your conf file to get things working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trippout Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Yeah I have Beta4, I downloaded the latest today. I could never get it to work properly with the service or the auto config so I just edited the default c:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Symless\Synergy\Synergy.conf file manually to update my screen section and add links/aliases section and started from the command line: synergys.exe --config c:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Symless\Synergy\Synergy.conf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
