hiuwo 1 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 (edited) Hi all, I have had this problem since half a year ago, my Client is Mac OS 10.12 Sierra, and my server is Win10 newest. Both running synergy 1.10.0 I normally do not turn off my Mac but I do turn of my PC. At night when I do turn off my PC in this case at about half past 2, my mac client goes crazy, and in the morning I check the computer, this repeating log will come up (https://pastebin.com/T5gp7eYi) saying: Quote [2018-11-11T04:19:11] INFO: drag and drop enabled [2018-11-11T04:19:11] FATAL: A display invalid exception error occurred: failed to initialize screen shape [2018-11-11T04:19:21] ERROR: process exited with error code: 1 [2018-11-11T04:19:21] INFO: detected process not running, auto restarting [2018-11-11T04:19:22] INFO: starting client [2018-11-11T04:19:22] INFO: config file: /var/folders/2z/5m02m7dx38b9cp74ry0fd0g40000gn/T/Synergy.wS9340 [2018-11-11T04:19:22] INFO: log level: INFO [2018-11-11T04:19:22] INFO: drag and drop enabled [2018-11-11T04:19:22] FATAL: A display invalid exception error occurred: failed to initialize screen shape [2018-11-11T04:19:32] ERROR: process exited with error code: 1 [2018-11-11T04:19:32] INFO: detected process not running, auto restarting [2018-11-11T04:19:33] INFO: starting client [2018-11-11T04:19:33] INFO: config file: /var/folders/2z/5m02m7dx38b9cp74ry0fd0g40000gn/T/Synergy.yY9340 [2018-11-11T04:19:33] INFO: log level: INFO [2018-11-11T04:19:33] INFO: drag and drop enabled [2018-11-11T04:19:34] FATAL: A display invalid exception error occurred: failed to initialize screen shape [2018-11-11T04:19:44] ERROR: process exited with error code: 1 [2018-11-11T04:19:44] INFO: detected process not running, auto restarting [2018-11-11T04:19:45] INFO: starting client [2018-11-11T04:19:45] INFO: config file: /var/folders/2z/5m02m7dx38b9cp74ry0fd0g40000gn/T/Synergy.tH9340 [2018-11-11T04:19:45] INFO: log level: INFO ............. and this prompt will come up and say (The executable ... could not be started, although it does exist) (same as this ref image: https://symless.com/forums/topic/3064-the-executable-could-not-be-started-although-it-does-exist/) P.S. I have read a few other posts and I only could find remedies such as this Quote For anyone out there who might stumble across this thread, here's the solution: Exit Synergy Open Terminal "rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.http-symless-com.Synergy.plist" then hit Enter "rm -rf ~/Library/Synergy/" Enter "killall -u $USER cfprefsd" and again Enter Restart Synergy apple script Quote set appName to "Synergy" tell application appName to quit repeat tell application "System Events" if appName is not in (name of application processes) then exit repeat end tell do shell script "sleep 0.5" end repeat tell application appName to launch The deleting plist thing doesn't help and while the apple script does help me relaunch the service easier, this happens every single day. I am also not sure if I could ask about errors on this forum board, but please help >< thanks in advance for the time H Edited November 11, 2018 by hiuwo Link to post Share on other sites
