mzeagrelli 1 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I'm not seeing Ubuntu 20.04 supported anywhere for Synergy 1. Here is what I have tried so far: dpkg-deb -R synergy_1.11.1.stable~b58+55ec3105_ubuntu19_amd64.deb nameOfFolder cd nameOfFolder sudo mv /usr/share/applications/synergy.desktop usr/share/applications/synergy.desktop.dpkg-new cd .. && dpkg-deb -b nameOfFolder synergy.deb The I've tried to run that installer and it appears nothing happens.

mzeagrelli 1 Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 Ahh I figured it out. Running it like this worked. For some reason I had to install it with apt. And then also the application isn't showing in my apps. so I had to run it from the terminal. dpkg-deb -R synergy_1.11.1.stable~b58+55ec3105_ubuntu19_amd64.deb nameOfFolder cd nameOfFolder sudo mv /usr/share/applications/synergy.desktop usr/share/applications/synergy.desktop.dpkg-new cd .. && dpkg-deb -b nameOfFolder synergy.deb sudo apt-install synergy.deb synergy 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Remi DEBETTE 0 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Hi, I just upgraded from 18.04 to focal 20.04, and also upgraded the synergy .deb to 19.04 1.11.1 and the server does not work with TLS encryption. The logs: secure socket error: could not use tls certificate [2020-04-25T09:32:06] ERROR: openssl error: error:140AB18F:SSL routines:SSL_CTX_use_certificate:ee key too small Focal is officially the LTS release of Ubuntu now. Thank you Link to post Share on other sites
mzeagrelli 1 Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) I'm not using the TLS encryption so I don't have the issue. However I submitted a ticket with support yesterday and here was their response. (not promising for your case. so you might just have to live without encryption for the time being) "Currently, that's not actually a feature we support (Ubuntu 20.04), but it is a feature request that we're planning to add to the next major version of Synergy. In the meantime, you’re also welcome to take a look at the Synergy Roadmap. We expect to have support for 20.04 coming in a future version, unfortunately, I can't provide an ETA for this. For now, we have closed your ticket. If you still have questions or an issue, feel free to reply to this email and we will re-open your ticket."

Kelvin Tran 142 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) Your best step is likely to open a support ticket with Symless here - https://members.symless.com/contact/customer-support @Remi DEBETTE Sorry, I originally tagged @mzeagrelli - tagged the wrong person!

jobyh 0 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) Hi @Remi DEBETTE I've just installed Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa (clean install) and am using TLS successfully now with a client running MacOS Catalina 10.15.4 after some initial issues. I was previously running a setup using Ubuntu 18.04 with the same Mac as a client. The wrong SSL fingerprint was being displayed when the MacOS client tried to connect to the Ubuntu server on 20.04 I noticed the MacOS Catalina client wasn't running the same version of Synergy as the server (1.10.1 on the Mac not 1.11.1 like the new Ubuntu OS). I upgraded to that version, removed the ~/.synergy directory on Ubuntu to reset the key and restarted both machines which resolved the issue for me. I don't think this will make any difference if you already have Synergy installed but for the sake of completeness for others I installed Synergy on 20.04 by downloading 1.11.1 stable from the downloads page (selecting the Ubuntu 19.04 download) and running the following in the Downloads directory: sudo dpkg -i synergy_1.11.1.stable\~b58+55ec3105_ubuntu19_amd64.deb ...which complained about a missing dependency libavahi-compat-libdnssd1. After installing this via apt-get install and running --fix-broken as prompted Synergy installed successfully. sudo apt-get install libavahi-compat-libdnssd1 sudo apt --fix-broken install Hope this helps you get things working!

jobyh 0 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 CORRECTION dependency install and fix broken above lines should read: sudo apt-get install libavahi-compat-libdnssd1 sudo dpkg -i synergy_1.11.1.stable\~b58+55ec3105_ubuntu19_amd64.deb sudo apt --fix-broken install Link to post Share on other sites
Remi DEBETTE 0 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Hi @jobyh, indeed after forcing the renewal of the SSL it went fine. I did not do anything else than delete the following and restart synergy on Ubuntu: ~/.synergy Link to post Share on other sites

AmShaegar 1 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Here's what I did to install synergy 2.0.12.beta on Ubuntu 20.04: dpkg-deb -R synergy_2.0.12.beta_b1705+e5daaeda_amd64.deb synergy_2.0.12.beta mv synergy_2.0.12.beta/usr/share/applications/synergy.desktop synergy_2.0.12.beta/usr/share/applications/synergy.desktop.dpkg-new mv synergy_2.0.12.beta/usr/lib/systemd/system/synergy.service synergy_2.0.12.beta/usr/lib/systemd/system/synergy.service.dpkg-new dpkg-deb -b synergy_2.0.12.beta synergy_2.0.12.beta-ubuntu-20.04.deb sudo apt-get install ./synergy_2.0.12.beta-ubuntu-20.04.deb Thanks for the hints.

Will Webb 0 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Same issue as main post except i did a upgrade and synergy was already installed used the info AmShaegar posted but then got a message that a required dependency could not be installed a quick search returned https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-viber-on-ubuntu-20-04-focal-fossa-linux wget for 6.2 didn't work but 5.3 was available wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl1.0/libssl1.0.0_1.0.2n-1ubuntu5.3_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i libssl1.0.0_1.0.2n-1ubuntu5.3_amd64.deb then did the synergy install again. NOTE: I noticed that once I installed Libssl, my main machine updated and showed my ubuntu machine online right before I ran the install again. Link to post Share on other sites
DJKouza 0 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Accidentally posted on a different Ubuntu post, meant to put here. I've got Synergy installed and the service is installed, but it is having connection issues. Logs show "error: failed to check update: reply has error: SSL hadshake failed and the GUI when I click Sign in with Symless gives "Couldn't connect to Synergy Cloud" I had issues trying to install about libssl1.0.0 so found a post that led me to install this : http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl1.0/libssl1.0.0_1.0.2n-1ubuntu5.5_amd64.deb thinking that could be the issue since it seems to be SSL related?

jpmeijers 0 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I also tried to follow the steps in this gist (https://gist.github.com/xenophonf/89baf03558f82f42c5a378abce2f5655), using libssl ubuntu5.5, and also getting an error when I launch synergy-config. Link to post Share on other sites
