Sebastien 0 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Hi there, Wanted to report that Synergy 3 works fine under X11 (Fedora 38), however when running Wayland the mouse cursor is not visible and the keyboard doesn't seem to work either, while the service is running and the computer detected. I can't test it with F37 as I already upgraded, but happy to give more details to help troubleshoot/improve. Link to post Share on other sites
BigCat 0 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 I'm having the same issue on Ubuntu 22.04. The mouse "effects" of mousing over or right clicking are all there, just no cursor. Link to post Share on other sites
KPW 0 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Same behaviour as BigCat on fresh install of Debian 11 (Gnome 3.38.5 on Wayland) Link to post Share on other sites
KPW 0 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Nobody is going to be surprised when I say it's a Wayland problem. Changed to X11 and it's all fine. A decade later and we're still here apparently. Link to post Share on other sites

Is it a "Wayland" problem, or is it "Synergy" problem? X's days are numbered, and most apps at least work in Wayland. A little frustrating that the new Synergy is still requiring X.

PilotPaul 0 Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Disappointing that Wayland is still not supported...for me it makes the product useless. Time to look for an alternative I think... Link to post Share on other sites
Xygnal 2 Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Wayland (and Linux in general) are a very low priority for the Symless team, so all you will hear about it is Nick Bolton apologizing that it's not here and claiming that it will eventually come, which may or may not be when you are still alive. 🤷♂️ Link to post Share on other sites

airtonix 0 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 If i run this, then i can start synergy pkill synergy /opt/Synergy/synergy-service -d & Link to post Share on other sites
KPW 0 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 My solution was: sudo apt purge synergy sudo apt install barrier All the functionality I require and none of the hassle. YMMV Link to post Share on other sites

Can you please post proof of your claims that Synergy 3 runs on Fedora 38. Link to post Share on other sites
