Synergy 1.3.7 Download
It’s a program that lets you share a virtual desktop between two different computers. With one mouse and keyboard, you can control two computers, and even move your mouse from one desktop to the other. It’s almost like the computers are welded together. I’ll demonstrate.
This is what my desk at home looks like when my desk is clean:On the left-hand monitor I have a Windows XP system running. On the right-hand monitor I run Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn). If I move my mouse off my Windows (left) monitor to the right, it shows up on the Ubuntu (right) monitor and vice-versa. Plus cut-and-paste works between the machines as well.Here’s how to configure Synergy with two computers.

Let’s assume that you have two home machines called “windowspc” and “ubuntu”. We’ll put the Windows machine on the left and the Ubuntu machine on the right. One of the two machines will run as the Synergy server and the other will run as a Synergy client. Oh Just noticed a posible Gotcha on the IP section.You will have to watch the ip Matt’s setup appears to be using static ip if your using DHCP to get ip adresses you might get a problem if you ip address changes for what eaver reason.You should be able to force the lease so that you always get the same IP on the same MAC.ErrioxaI suspect Matt uses XP cos thats what 99% of his customers use – ive lost count of the times our developers do somthing that looks okish on FF but is borked on IE – doesn’t not go down well with the end customer.Any how how else will he play WOW 🙂. MattNotCutts, I wrote the article normally, then counted up the steps, then adjusted the headline just because I was curious how much of a difference it makes. 🙂Errioxa, I’ve got a few legacy things running on my Windows computer.William Donelson, I just really like that mouse; it feels much better on my wrists.
I also like to switch left hand and right hand mousing every few months.Sven, I believe you can: one Synergy server and two clients. Let us know if you get it working!Robert Accettura, you’d definitely want SSH if you went over the public net. I wanted to keep the example simple though, so I went with two home machines that sit behind a firewall.M.W.A., also KVM (keyboard-video-mouse) switches don’t handle DVI video that well.

Synergy does. Re: “As root on the Ubuntu machine, create an /etc/synergy.conf file:” How do you do that? I cant save anything in the etc folder. Please help.Do “su” and enter root psw.Check that you don’t already have that filefind / -name synergy.conf -print(I have mine at /usr/bin/synergy.conf)Create or update the file with e.g. “vi”I also have a question, that someone might be able to help me with:I use a WinXP as the synergy server and Linux as the client.

Everything works fine except that I can’t get the screensaver sync option to work. I’ve removed the gnome screensaver and installed xscreensaver instead (as recommended elsewere), and I’ve also tried the screenSaverSync = true option in the client. In the WinXP synergy server, the syncscreensaver option i checked.Both screensavers work, but not the sync:ing part.
Great step-by-step. Even better than Synergy’s official wiki. Just a few things to add after building up my own Ubuntu-Windows monster:1) On the “client” machine, you need to disable system log-in. Synergy client won’t start till you logged in.
So you won’t be able to fill in the login box on the client machine.2) The client will have no physical keyboard connected so it’s mostly likely you will get a BIOS error when powering up. To avoid this, go to your BIOS configure and disable error message – on my Dell desktop, it is changing “all errors” to “all errors but keyboard.”. Guys, I am trying to run synergy 1.3.1 on an XP box as the server and a CentOS5.5 as the client. I installed several times and I have a perfectly fine configuration file, both machines can ping each other. The firewall on the windows box is allowing the port 24800 and is having an exception for synergys and synergyc. I have tried it both ways and none of them work.
Neither one works for a client nor for a server. If the windows box is the server, I get a red don’t enter/wrong way sign instead of the green synergy icon in the task bar and the status is always not running. The connection from the linux box is always timing out or getting refused. When I tried to use the linux box as the server, the log says that it is connected to the windows box but the mouse nor the keyboard never move. It records the connection only once and records entering the client once and then returning also once and never again.I have administrator privileges on both machines but nothing works. This is frustrating since I did have synergy working on another windows box but since I upgraded to this one it doesn’t work. It is just windows XP not VISTA nor 7.Any help would be appreciated.
I even got the guys who are the global administrators and still using their accounts it doesn’t work at all.Any help is highly appreciated.Thanks.
