Install on ARM64 Ubuntu

[Cody Salyer 0]

I'm trying to install on a Ubuntu machine but get the following error:

package architecture (amd64) does not match system (arm64) is there a version that supports 64 bit arm processors?

Hello @Cody Salyer  the only ARM option we have for now is for Raspbian, but you can try to build Synergy yourself.

https://github.com/symless/synergy-core/wiki

Is that an option for you? If not, please let me know.

That's not an ideal scenario, i'm not terribly familiar with Ubuntu yet. Also as i'm trying to get Qtcreator installed i'm getting errors back saying there's no installation candidate. that qtcreator isn't availible but it's replaced by qtchooser.

FYI - I was able to build synergy for arm64 on the latest Ubuntu MATE.  Version 1.11.0-stable-0badc0de.  Its working great for me.  Let me know if you'd like the binaries or anything

We do indeed have ARM64 binaries available, they were built on a Ubuntu 18 OS and can be selected on the downloads page

I have the same / similar issue.

Debian arm64 version of Synergy Pro 1.14.6 will NOT install on Ubuntu 22.10 on a Pi4 with 8 GB RAM.  I ran into nearly exactly the same thing with Pop!OPS on the same hardware too...

I can find any packages like libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 or libssl1.1...  How do I get the software I bought to work on my hardware?

I'd really rather not have to compile / build - are there any arm64 binary packages for LINUX other than the Debian  / Raspbian one?

Nothing there like that right now, the only arm64 binaries I can see are for Raspbian/RasbpiOS and MacOS

Note also - I was previously successfully able to run the arm64 package on Ubuntu 22.10 - but I have since lost that install - which started out as a Ubuntu 20.04, I installed Synergy in 20.04, then it was progressively upgraded to 22.04, 22.10... I'd rather not have to do that again just to get Synergy to work...
