HC289 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Does anyone know the latest on this? I've just upgraded to Ubuntu 21.10 which finally has nvidia Wayland support and Synergy not supporting Wayland has ruined my day! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rubin Starset Posted December 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2021 Hi here! Visiting from the Wayland support for Linux client and server GitHub issue. Just want to voice in my request for this feature too so that Synergy can support most of the recent releases to the more modern Linux distros out there. Thanks so much! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post R.King Posted December 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 25, 2021 (edited) A message to the developers: I saw in your issues page where the lack complaints from licensed users (as opposed to Github users) makes this look like a low priority issue to you. As a licensed user, and as a software developer, I say that's like knowing your toilet is plugged but not grabbing the plunger and doing something about it until your 4 year old poops and floods it out. A bit vivid, I know, but I need the point to be clear. You know Wayland is the next target for GUI services. You should know Wayland is reasonably mature at this point. Is there still any good reason to keep dragging your feet on this issue? Edited December 25, 2021 by R.King 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carrierpigeon Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Yeah I've had synergy 1 and 2 licences for ages. I just use barrier now as synergy has no benefit over barrier. Even then, I've generally stopped using it all together as I've moved over to arch and wayland on my laptop and desktop. If either got Wayland working it would be game changer. Even better if it's the one I actually paid money for.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.King Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Sad reality is that I thought about how to solve the problem myself. The approach I'd take is different enough from other competing products to ensure that it worked consistently regardless of the GUI system in use. They could write something in the future with absolutely no support for the feature needed by synergy and yet this approach would still work. I think I'll work on making a product of the idea if this company still doesn't show any real effort in solving it for themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post somehacker Posted December 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2021 Came here from GitHub. I've been licensed user for years and want Wayland support. Please raise the priority on implementing this feature as I've been waiting for it since 2017. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Chillosophy Posted January 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2022 Quote We plan to implement Wayland. Right now, it's mostly GitHub users asking for Wayland. Most of our users are not on GitHub and aren't asking for Wayland yet. Thanks for your patience. Are you kidding me. Fine. Asking for Wayland support, preferably years ago. This is embarrasing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atokon Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I have had synergy since 2018, and have wanted wayland support for about as long. I stopped using Synergy shortly after buying it, mostly due to the lack of Wayland support, and warned a few colleagues about this issue when they were looking into options. I have subscribed to this issue on github (https://github.com/symless/synergy-core/issues/4090) (but I am for some reason unable to vote on it), as I thought that github was the right place to voice opinions, vote and subscribe to issues, for paying and potential users alike.

I was under the impression that there's where development usually happens. Anyway. Asked in the past over twitter. Asked on GitHub. Asking here if this is how it needs to be. Wayland support should be a priority. I don't want to switch between sessions depending on whether I want an accelerated browser or a docked laptop experience next to my desktop. Licensed user since 2015. Call it a major release and ask for upgrade money for all I care just don't hide behind "nobody needs it". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Licensed user since 2017, and have been using Synergy across all my machines. On GitHub they announced in the next major version, Wayland support will be added. However, they started working on version 3 back in 2018. It's now in Alpha. I guess it should be in beta by 2026, and release candidate by 2030, and 3.0 by 2035.

ccoenen Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I'm not entirely sure why I need to post this, when it's clear that many major distributions have *already* switched to wayland as a default. But here we are: Synergy in its current form can no longer perform its basic function on wayland-based linux computers. This is one of the things I would expect of it. I switched to barrier a few years ago (which also does not work, currently) because I was not happy with the progress of synergy at the time. I would happily switch back to synergy. In case this matters at all, I'm a "Premium User" from ~2013 (and my use of synergy predates symless, my first notes of it date back to 2009, I believe that was "Google Code" territory where we voted on bugs with 10$ donations), I also "bought" Synergy 2. I do have to admit that I do not feel particularly premium right now. I realize that it was not you who broke Linux support, that the world around you just moved on and Synergy didn't move with it. But if this were TeamViewer saying "naaaaah, we'll just sit here and not support new machines" you would see them go out of business pretty quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentC Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I do recall the complaints of not getting donations for the work, so it went closed source and started selling it. Seem it was making better progress before they closed the source. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had read the comments, it is already stated support for Wayland will be in the next Major version. Which means it's not going to be in version 1.

On GitHub and other places, it sounded like they were gauging the community as to how much they need to prioritize adding support. I wasn't asking why it wasn't supported in v1, or if they were going to add support to v1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He mentioned it on GitHub https://github.com/symless/synergy-core/issues/4090#issuecomment-532202244 However, that was two years ago. This seems to be progressing as fast as that Open Source Windows compatible alternative which was started back in ~2001.
