For those interested, I found this repo with a Synergy/Barrier client for Wayland https://github.com/r-c-f/waynergy

It is only a client and based on the open source uSynergy from Symless, and it took me a bit of work to map the keys, but I got it working on my Wayland guests with Synergy server running on macOS.

not sure when wayland support is planned, but linux is moving pretty fast in that direction. Doesn't effect me at the moment, but I'm sure my next upgrade will see wayland on my computer either alone

I look at comments like, "if you want Synergy, you need to switch to Xorg" to being equivalent to, "you must run the program in Windows XP compatibility mode". The new product has been out for ne

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,

Not working on Fedora 34 on Wayland. Is there an official word/timeline when Synergy will support Wayland?

As it has been mentioned quite a few times, "in the next major version."

Maybe the "alpha" forum they are mentioning if it is already supporting Wayland, or not

I had to switch over to Wayland due to a displayport issue for my multi screen setup... X would have a low FPS in Xorg but under Wayland everything works as expected... Multiple year user of synergy and would like not to be forced to use other products... its always just worked... now just stuck... please find some solution here as its a product waiting to die otherwise...

Just bumping this. I'm starting to look into upgrading to Ubuntu 22.04 and what that entails on the machine that runs my Synergy server.

I'm sure that Wayland support is a huge effort. Is there anywhere we can get updates on development?

Good luck on any updates. They been working on version 3 since about 2018, and barely an Alpha version?

He should probably just put it all back in open source. Back then it seemed to make better progress in development time. Can't stay in business by taking 10 years to release a new version which is compatible with newer operating systems.

😡  Pretty disgusting to see that users have actively been asking for Wayland support in a paid software package since 2015 and it still has yet to materialize in a release.  With 22.04 LTS going default wayland and joining the RPMs its ludicrous to expect users to fall back on xorg still.

At this point, I don't think he actually has a team working on the product. I think he is on his own now, and working on it during his off hours of any employment he may have.

It has to do with an outdated dependency. 
 

Supposedly it'll be fixed whenever the next update comes out.  No ETA has been provided unfortunately.

Fresh install of Ubuntu 22.04 last night - can't install synergy, not even with --fix-missing or install -f...  

Ended up here - same issue libssl library missing as for Mint user trying to get MongoDB installed : 

https://askubuntu.com/questions/1403619/mongodb-install-fails-on-ubuntu-22-04-depends-on-libssl1-1-but-it-is-not-insta

So I did this :  

echo "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu impish-security main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/impish-security.list

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libssl1.1

And that fixed it for me - can now install (the package for Ubuntu 21.04) with dpkg - thanks so much Symless for all your support - Ubuntu 22.04 is only like SIX WEEKS old and you don't have an installer package for that LTS release?  Your package for Ubuntu 21.04 DOES NOT WORK!

I guess we can expect a fix for our "pro" product, from this vendor (Symless?  More like Gormless) around the same time as Wayland which they only like promised was on their radar in 2014!

I'm not crazy about this fix, 'cause I HATE adding non LTS repos into my LTS system!  FIX THIS SYMLESS - and SOON!

The fix is supposed to be in the next update, version 1.14.4.  It should be out early next week.

Or next decade?  Century?  They don't have a good track record...    Wayland was "on the radar" in 2014?  

I mean who even asked for the following : 

  1. Leave TLS on in server and client by default  ???
  2. Change "X" (title bar window control widget) exit behaviour from "exit to system tray or top bar" to "let's exit this application and kill it"? 

It's starting to feel like a backyard "single guy" operation, rather than the "enterprise" App I bought in 2018... 

I'm just about ready to cutover from this substandard piece of crap to a hardware solution...

This app was open source some years ago. He was complaining nobody was donating so he closed the source then started selling it. The ironic thing is, it was making more progress as an open source project than closed source.

back in 2014 when the github issue was created no one was using wayland so i could understand there not being a huge rush to support it, but that is no longer the case. wayland is now ubiquitous and default in the top 2 linux distros that comprises the majority of linux users. i just got an email informing me that there is going to be a new monetization strategy which will in net cost new users more. why should people pay more money when one of the 3 major operating systems that you claim to support no longer works with your software? people are paying more money and getting fewer features than they had 5 years ago.

To be fair though, Debian 11 is still using XORG (with Cinnamon), but yes, Wayland support should of been already completed.
