maxasus123 Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 Hi, plz help me. I Can't Change new server on Mac OS I install Synergy on linux ubuntu 18.04 use server Quote
Jamie Newbon Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 Synergy uses Bonjour for auto configuration, and currently Linux auto config as a server doesn't broadcast itself to clients. What you can do is in the top left click on [Synergy]->[Preferences] and uncheck 'Enable Auto Config' That will allow you to type in the servers IP address manually Quote

The desktop client interface did not change at all and still would not allow me to enter an IP address. 1 Quote
KASL Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 If you uncheck the auto-config option as mentioned previously, there are a couple more steps: 1) Stop the synergy client 2) Completely quit the Synergy app (kill it - there should be no synergy processes running at all) 3) Now start synergy and try - it did let me enter my IP address. I'm on Catalina as well. Regards, KASL Quote
itsgarrett Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 Unchecking auto-config and restarting did not change the behavior for me. What did work, was closing Synergy, right-click the Synergy app and select Open. Now I can enter the server address. Quote

Mike H Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 It's worth noting I ran into this same issue on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS just now. Unchecking "Enable Auto Config" in settings and then restarting did the trick. Quote
UK-Paul Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 Agree with KASL and Mike H. After disabling auto config, it is necessary to restart synergy. Only when this has been done can a server IP address be entered. Quote
