Debian 10 (Buster) - Connected properly but not working

[12q1 0]

I am trying to run Synergy 1 pro  on two machines both running Debian 10 (Buster). The client and server are configured correctly and establish connection properly. However none of the functionality works - neither the mouse nor the keyboard inputs are registered. 

Server Log:

[2020-02-17T00:23:02] INFO: starting server
[2020-02-17T00:23:02] INFO: config file: /tmp/Synergy.zkYwDF

[2020-02-17T00:23:38] NOTE: connected to server

I have tried:

- Disabling TLS

- Rebooting both systems

- Reinstalling Synergy on both systems

- Purging config files from tmp and manually configuring

 

I have also encountered the following unusual behavior:

- System tray icon does not work (issue described here).

- When using applications in full screen mode (VLC, viewing Discord stream) the application registers the cursor entering/leaving screen but nothing happens on the client.  

 

I would appreciate some help in this matter. Thanks.

@12q1 can you please confirm if you are using Wayland? If so, please note that Synergy doesn't support it yet.

Please, So is it just disable Wayland?

@Nicholas Lobo Correct, you need to switch to an x11 desktop, Wayland support is in our roadmap
