BillW 0 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I am running Ubuntu 16.04 and can't get the correct version installed to work with Windows10 (which has the latest installed--1.8.8. apt-get install only installs 1.6 and it won't upgrade. Grrr. The error I am getting from my Windows machine is: WARNING: failed to connect to server: incompatible client 1.5 I am using the Ubuntu computer as the server. I tried installing the tar via bash and the 'install' file is incomplete, it won't run or configure. Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Suarez 107 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Can you try installing v1.9.0 instead? You can get it from this Synergy v1.9.0 Release Candidate forum thread. Link to post Share on other sites
BillW 0 Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 I did that, but now the error is this: WARNING: failed to connect to server: server refused client with our name Link to post Share on other sites
BillW 0 Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 It also says ERROR: server refused client with name "blah blah blah". Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Suarez 107 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 That means that you haven't configured the server properly or there could be some typos when you configured it. Please refer to Getting started with Synergy knowledge base article on how to configure it properly. Link to post Share on other sites
BillW 0 Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 Got it now. Thanks. Instructions aren't super clear, and the interface is real glitchy-- I had to exit out and start over a few times when doing the monitor config. Thanks for the assistance! Bill Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Suarez 107 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Thanks for the update @BillW. Please feel free to reply on that Synergy v1.9.0 Release Candidate forum thread for comments and suggestions about that version. Link to post Share on other sites
