Hi,

how am i able to wake up my MacMini from Sleep with Synergy (v1.145.5)

i also have assigned hotkeys in synergy to switch between the computers but they dont help in this situation.

I'm having a similar issue with my new Mac mini that I just setup. It's the M1 version from 2020 running 12.6.  In my case I have a Logi keyboard that allows me to pair to multiple computers, so I have to switch it to the Mac mini to 'wake it up', then synergy will reconnect and allow access.  When looking at the normal logs from the client I see the following.

[2022-09-28T00:36:07] FATAL: A display invalid exception error occurred: failed to initialize screen shape
[2022-09-28T00:36:17] ERROR: process exited with error code: 1
[2022-09-28T00:36:17] INFO: detected process not running, auto restarting
[2022-09-28T00:36:18] INFO: starting client

I'm going to try turning on debug logging now to see if I get better logs.  Will probably open a support case as well.

Thanks,

Nevin

So with debug2 enabled here's the logging I see every 10 or so seconds.

[2022-09-28T09:43:59] DEBUG1: logging to file (/Users/nabsher/synergy.log) enabled
[2022-09-28T09:43:59] DEBUG1: starting client
[2022-09-28T09:43:59] DEBUG1: thread 0x00000002 entry
[2022-09-28T09:43:59] DEBUG1: caught cancel on thread 0x00000002
[2022-09-28T09:43:59] FATAL: A display invalid exception error occurred: failed to initialize screen shape

Repeats that until I manually wake up the client with the keyboard.  All the while the device is accessible via network connections, so it's not fully asleep.

Thanks,

Nevin

I'm having this problem too, using Synergy 1 Pro. Is there anything I can do to get the machine to respond to Synergy input while still having the display turn off?
