[arch] WARNING: failed to connect to server: Connection refused

Whenever I try to start synergy, I get the following error. Not sure how to fix it

Same crap im getting.  Im close to requesting a refund.

You install from AUR ?

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/synergy2/

I never run synergy-core directly but instead start synergy-service through systemd.

@chasmfiend this is what I get

@chasmfiend ignore the above message, I managed to fix that and ended up with those one instead
