FATAL: Unknown Screen Name - How to Delete?


Recommended Posts

Hi, I have attached my log below. I have NEVER used this software and my first run I am getting the following error:

I have tried changing the name multiple times but can't get it to change the outcome. I tried uninstalling but it's not entirely uninstalling the whole application because when I reinstall all my configuration settings remain. Are there hidden files / configuration settings somewhere that I also need to delete?

Hi @Mittens!

This means that you haven't configured it properly for the server to recognize the client that will try to connect to it. Please check Getting started with Synergy knowledge base article for the steps on how to configure it initially.

Let us know how it goes. ;)

Hi, for clarification, this is the error I get when I click "Start" on the server computer. It won't even start listening for clients to connect due to this "fatal" error. I have tried renaming from Edit > Settings and from the server configuration screen. I know I'm missing something stupid here but it's not obvious what I'm supposed to do.

 

I went through the steps in your link and nothing changed. I cannot start the server.

 

Problem solved. I needed to add my Host computer to the configure server screen, it only had the client in the window.
