Matteo Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I am trying the latest version on Synergy on the daily build of Ubuntu 17.10 (as client). The server is a Windows 10 host. I can see "entering screen" and "leaving screen" info messages, however the mouse does not move and keyboard input is ignored. Debug logging shows that the client receives input ("recv mouse move", "keystroke", etc.), yet the mouse cursor does not move and keyboard input has no visible effect. Is there any info on how to get Synergy working on Ubuntu 17.10? I understand this version of Ubuntu is not released yet and my expectations are set accordingly.

sobgtp Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I have the same issue, wondering if there are any solutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maksym Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Same here when server is Ubuntu 16.04 and client is Ubuntu 17.10. When both are 17.10, there is no connection at all. Logs contain an error: [2017-10-20T16:29:23] INFO: starting client [2017-10-20T16:29:23] INFO: config file: .synergy/synergy.conf [2017-10-20T16:29:23] INFO: log level: ERROR [2017-10-20T16:29:23] INFO: log file: /var/log/synergy.log [2017-10-20T16:29:32] ERROR: ssl error occurred (system call failure) /build/synergy-R40txi/synergy-1.8.8-stable+dfsg.1/src/lib/net/SecureSocket.cpp,576 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmario Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 It works, if you use "ubuntu xorg" .. which can be selected if you click the "cog icon" on the login screen. ... New ubuntu uses the "wayland" display manager, which may not be supported .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno CC Santos Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I'm using Ubuntu 17.10 for server and Windows 10 for client, move movement works, except when on the ubuntu machine terminal is opened and maximized, in which case I can't move the mouse cursor to the client. Keyboard works mainly well, except for alt+tab, which executes on the server even if the mouse cursor is on the client. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjlytle Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Running 1.8.8 on a Windows 10 Server, and Ubuntu 17.10 client. Can confirm what @pmariosays: - works as expected if you login with the `ubuntu xorg` - network connectivity works on the new display manager (but the mouse cursor doesn't move, and keyboard doesn't work) - `alt+tab` seems to have no issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Ashworth Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Confirmed as well. Windows 10 and Ubuntu 17.10 using 1.8.8. Changing to ubuntu xorg works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getex Informatica Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Windows 10 server and Ubuntu 17.10 client crash Can they help me? Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmario Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 This is just a warning. .. If you click OK, the program is shown, because it can't display the icon in the system tray. ... API is different, since ubuntu switched to gnome UI from Unity. For me the connection is established, as soon as it shows the program UI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getex Informatica Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 pmario, Thank you for answering. It does not work, I can not access the UI Greetings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmario Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 @Getex Informatica did you switch to "ubuntu xorg" as I wrote above? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getex Informatica Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 @pmario Yes, I am working with xorg but it still does not work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmario Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Did you click OK? ... Then you'll probably need to wait several seconds. .. I think there are some timeouts involved. ... For me after about 5 seconds the config UI pops up and the connection can be configured and it is established, once it is configured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getex Informatica Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 @pmario yes, I clicked to accept but the user interface never appears. Thank you very much for your interest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getex Informatica Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 @pmario I have totally removed and I have installed again. Synergy now works but the graphical interface still does not appear. Best Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaasvortex Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Running 1.8.8 on a Windows 10 , and Ubuntu 17.10 client. Can confirm what @pmariosays: - works as expected if you login with the `ubuntu xorg` - network connectivity works on the new display manager (but the mouse cursor doesn't move, and keyboard doesn't work) - `alt+tab` seems to have no issue - I also have to disable SSH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getex Informatica Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 @Klaasvortex I confirm ubuntu xorg works perfectly with the keyboard and the mouse. I don't know how to disable SSH It works fine except that I can not access the synergy graphic interface Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasZ Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I've had the same issue ... or lets say it looks for me like these issue because the solution was pretty easy and unexpected. synergy connected from ubuntu 17.10 and windows 10 successfully. BUT i was not able to move to cursor to the windows screen, because they was on the left side, and the dock was capturing the mouse (for any reason synergy will not work if the mouse is on top on any menu element in gnome) so i moved the dock to the right side .... and now it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Somerset Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I can also confirm switching from wayland mode to X11 gets things working correctly as a 17.10 client to mac server however as i'm running ubuntu on a retina macbook pro that kills my touchpad for some reason that i've yet to diagnose wayland support needs to be handled really - i had to downgrade from 2 because 2 just wasn't working reliably enough either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoZZa Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Not sure if this will work for you, but after plugging a mouse into the Ubuntu box, I get full Synergy functionality between Windows, Mac and Ubuntu machines. Do note that you can remove the mouse and the cursor will still display and work fine, but if you logout, you will have to plug in the mouse again. Not ideal, but a working solution.

Synergy Team Nick Bolton Posted January 26, 2018 Synergy Team Share Posted January 26, 2018 Sorry about that. Have you raised a support ticket yet? https://symless.com/contact/customer-support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renbear Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I have the same issue, but I can actually type at windows (like the terminal window), and if I click and drag on the desktop, I can see where the mouse is. It just doesn't match the location of the pointer, which does not move. The dock appears to ignore input from keyboard or mouse, even though the desktop kinda sees it, and client windows definitely take keyboard input. If a support ticket has not been submitted, I can certainly do so. I just don't want to duplicate effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmario Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 @Renbear Do you use "ubuntu xorg". See my first post On 10/20/2017 at 5:41 PM, pmario said: It works, if you use "ubuntu xorg" .. which can be selected if you click the "cog icon" on the login screen. ...

Andre Natal Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I am also having this issue. OSX as server and Ubuntu 17 running wayland as client. No mouse neither keyboard on ubuntu but I see the switching messages in the host. Synergy needs to support Wayland. I don't want to use an obsolete window manager (X) to support synergy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
