NorthWestUser 0 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 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.

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." Link to post Share on other sites

lemonjello1 1 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 FYI in addition to Fedora and RHEL, the upcoming Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is also now switching to Wayland. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
delmarc 0 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 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...

Jake Harr 0 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 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? Link to post Share on other sites
TrentC 3 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 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. Link to post Share on other sites
yongar 0 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Any update on Wayland support? It has been years... Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post cknight725 2 Posted April 29 Popular Post Share Posted April 29 😡 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. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post TrentC 3 Posted April 29 Popular Post Share Posted April 29 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. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Steve3PO 1 Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 I am a paid subscriber for Synergy version 1 and 2. Please add Wayland Support. Come on! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TrentC 3 Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 I am not even sure they are in business anymore. It does not take several years to come out with a release. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
redzebra 1 Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 (edited) I upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04 today and can't use Synergy anymore 😢 Edit: I'm a Synergy Pro user! Please providing Wayland support Edited June 5 by redzebra 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Supposedly it'll be fixed whenever the next update comes out. No ETA has been provided unfortunately. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
UnixOutlaw 1 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 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! Link to post Share on other sites

Century? They don't have a good track record... Wayland was "on the radar" in 2014? I mean who even asked for the following : Leave TLS on in server and client by default ??? 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... Link to post Share on other sites
TrentC 3 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 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. Link to post Share on other sites
