Mean Mustard 1982 1 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Hey guys, Fedora 27 GNOME shell 3.26.2 OS X 10.13.4 Synergy 2.0.9 I have seen this posted across the web regarding when using a mouse associated with a mac laptop, sharing this across Fedora using Gnome may hide the mouse cursor. There is no problem with the connection itself. If I use the keyboard and mouse connected to the Fedora desktop, I can control my mac fine and see the mouse pointer. To correct the issue, I understand you can set:Â gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.cursor active false This is a question more or less for Linux pros. When I try to set this, the config is not present. Has this setting name changed? I see... org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.mouse I have tried to search for this but most posts are from last year that I can see. What is the correct setting? Link to post Share on other sites

Do you mean that sometimes when sharing from your Mac, you'll randomly lose control of your Linux computer? Link to post Share on other sites
Mean Mustard 1982 1 Posted April 20, 2018 Author Share Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) I’ll lose the cursor and or mouse pointer. I can copy and paste, but have to use the Linux desktop mouse to paste. Yes. It makes the Linux desktop unusable. Edited April 20, 2018 by Mean Mustard 1982 Link to post Share on other sites

Mean Mustard 1982 1 Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 Good news. A workaround is possible. If you install the kde GUI environment for Fedora, there is no problem. I wonder if this is with gnome 3? Either way, this fixed it for me for now: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/quick-docs/en-US/switching-desktop-environments.html 1 Link to post Share on other sites
