SenPi Posted November 17, 2017 Posted November 17, 2017 So I wanted to install Synergy 2 on my Ubuntu 14.04 box today, and I can't seem to do that because 14.04 only installs libqt5core5a up to version 5.2.1. I couldn't find any sort of PPA for the newer version, and I tried building it from source, but I can't seem to figure out how to get synergy to look at the source one instead. Anybody have any way to get around this? Thanks!
TheFreak Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Since I can't post in the linked ticket, I'll post here. In the linked ticket there was a mention that this would be fixed in the stable release. I tried installing synergy_2.0.4.stable_b1205+fcb59be4_amd64.deb on my Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and I get the same error. Any progress on when this will be fixed?
GranPaSmurf Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Just another data point> I realize I'm talking about a whole different beast, but Ver. 2.xx has run great on my Kubuntu 17.10, (and 17.04 before). Currently Version 2.04.

Currently Version 2.04. Same here, on my Ubuntu 16.04 it installs without a problem as that one comes with libqt5core5a 5.5.1. Searching around I can't seem to find a way to install libqt5core5a 5.5.1 on my 14.04. (apart from building from source) I opened a ticket customer support ticket, let's see what they say.

Yes, I opened a customer support ticket: Question:Synergy 2.0.4 does not install on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. It has a dependency on libqt5core5a >= 5.5.0 but Trusty only gets up to 5.2.1. Answer:"We'll be adding support for this Linux distro in Synergy 2.1 which is due Q2 2018."
SenPi Posted January 26, 2018 Author Posted January 26, 2018 First they said it would be in Stable, now they are saying it will be in 2.1. I'd really like to use this program I already paid for please
TheFreak Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Until it is eventually fixed, I keep using version 1.8.8, which does work with Ubuntu 14.04.
SenPi Posted January 26, 2018 Author Posted January 26, 2018 yeah I can still use the old one just fine, but I paid extra for version 2 even though I already owned 1, and I still can't use it. It's just frustrating
