Synergy 3 RC2 is here!

A few of the changes:

  • Many fixes on all operating systems
  • Skip empty screen with continue button
  • Improved overall installation process
  • Use readable names in generated config file
  • More comprehensive reset procedure on macOS

You can get RC2 on the download page.

Not working for me, can't find other devices. Windows 11, same subnet, wired. (RC1 worked fine.)

RC2 is broken for me as well.  Win11 server, Ubuntu 22.04 client.  The connection is working but the mouse is "invisible" (actual pointer on Ubuntu doesn't move but I can see when my mouse is moving over buttons that highlight.  Also, the keyboard isn't working.  I've reset Synergy on both machines, no change.

Looks like this may actually be an issue with a recent update with Ubuntu that was applied today as I went back to RC1 and the same thing is happening.  Sigh.

I wish there were an edit option.  Switching back to RC1 and rebooting both machines has me back up and running.

It's working now, after trying a bunch of random things. Looks like I have to connect out from the "server" and not the "client" computers. Going from client to server resulted in "can't connect." I suspect it is a TLS thing? Don't know.

@DieselDrax You might try disabling TLS in security. I'm not a 100 percent sure, but I saw a bunch of those kinds of errors when trying to connect an RC2 new install to a RC2 over RC1 install. I suspect RC1 didn't use TLS? Worth a shot just to try.

@DieselDrax Disregard. TLS wouldn't affect mouse not showing/keyboard not working and sounds like your issue has to do with Ubuntu.

It's an issue with RC2, I reset Synergy on both, reinstalled RC1, rebooted both, configured them, and now I'm back up and running again.  I might try and reproduce the issue with RC2 again this evening just to confirm I have the same problem come back.

Just to verify.
After the Software Support Update date, we'll still be able to download the current version we're licensed for correct?

Just to follow up on this, it seems that my issue was related to Ubuntu 22.04 somehow switching from Xorg to Wayland, it would seem Synergy 3 doesn't fully/properly support Wayland.  The only way I figured this out was when I switched back to Synergy 1 as even RC1 started failing and then Synergy 1 errored that it doesn't support Wayland.  Weird as I never selected Wayland.

Anyway, I'm back to running RC2 on Xorg and I have no problems.

Issue here with Ubuntu 22.04 (Server) and Latest build of Windows 11 (client).   Running RC3 on both with TLS enabled.   

Windows 11 is 27" Monitor above my Samsung Neo 49".   I have the smaller one directly above centered.    

Issue:  
My cursor never even makes an attempt to move upwards to the other screen.   I can reproduce it every time.   There is no attempt, and the verbose logging doesn't show that it's left my Ubuntu server screen and "entered" the Windows 11.    Something is keeping it from recognizing it.  

Additional Bug: 
Interestingly enough, I had an application full screen (to the left of my Samsung) that is a second display connected to Ubuntu.   In some odd cases (I have seen it twice now), when the application is running, and I move my mouse over it, it then switches to the Windows 11 machine.  The entire width of the application appears to give the cursor the ability to move to my Windows machine.   Unfortunately, I do not know how to replicate this and it appears to gone away after a restart.   

When it was doing it, it almost appeard that I had to hit the top edge of my monitor (simulating going to the Windows 11 monitor) before it would start doing it.   Since that time, I have attempted to repeat it and cannot.   

Thanks,
DG

I'm getting RC2 rejected by my corporate virus scanner too - it is VirusTotal I believe.  I would really like to use it otherwise.
