Sebastien Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCat Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPW Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Same behaviour as BigCat on fresh install of Debian 11 (Gnome 3.38.5 on Wayland) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPW Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A decade later and we're still here apparently. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PilotPaul Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Disappointing that Wayland is still not supported...for me it makes the product useless. Time to look for an alternative I think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disappointed Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 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. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airtonix Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 If i run this, then i can start synergy pkill synergy /opt/Synergy/synergy-service -d & Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPW Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 My solution was: sudo apt purge synergy sudo apt install barrier All the functionality I require and none of the hassle. YMMV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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