What should I be seeing?

Right now I have a box with my computer name with a smaller box with my computer name and that's it on both computers.

There are no menus whatsoever so I can't try to change a setting.

I understand this is a beta....but for almost $20 I expected something that worked even a little bit OR some obvious way to get help or any instructions whatsoever. 

From the other posts it looks like others have had success getting this software to work but I have nothing to go on. 

I've tried double clicking, I've tried moving the box around.

I assume the system is supposed to figure out for itself that there are two computers on my network running synergy and that each computer's app should be showing me icons for both screens but that's not happening and it would be nice to have some idea where to start troubleshooting other than "upload your logs".

I am just another user.

I'd follow the troubleshooting steps. Run and copy and send your logs. They will help, promise. 

While you are waiting, try rebooting both machines. Also, the first cloud connection takes a little bit of time. 5 minutes is the max I've seen. 

To start, both machines show the paired screens as gray. When they go green, you are good to go. 

While you wait, check out some of the other posts for more trouble shooting. Like verification of firewall permissions. Or restarting the service. 

Or just hang on. They are in the UK so you will hear back from them more often in the morning if you are in the US. 

It's a great program that you will never want to be without.

It's a great program I've been using for like...10 years which is why I'm sticking it out. But there should have been a user guide or even just a note explaining how the interface worked and that there were no menus and what to expect especially since they asked for money. 

As for me, I can't go without a functioning version of this software. It's become an essential part of my workflow so for now I have to go back to version 1.

yeah, me too Mike. My Linux computer is my central/development machine. Beta4 just doesn't like my Linux. I just finished reinstalling 1.8 across the board.  I'm hoping Symless will let me resume at beta5.

I have the same experience that Mike, installed in 2 Macs run and appear the window with only one green screen of each Mac nothing else, so they can't see each other.

By the way I had same situation with version 1.8.8 and 1.9RC3.  Both computers with macOS 10.12.6, I made the troubleshooting but nothing changed.

The log files My iMac and the Server

After restart the app cannot run when I click on it, I need open using the terminal.

This is the appears on the terminal windows I don't know is useful.

After restart the app cannot run when I click on it, I need open using the terminal.

It's because macOS thinks it's already running. It's a bug. Launching from the terminal is a valid workaround.

Ok thanks that answer to the part of the app not running but what happen with doesn't show the other Mac on each screen.

So the app is not connecting or have some problem with the network?

Thanks

Karl

That happens when either: 1) the config app can't talk to the background service, or 2) the background service isn't running a tall.

How I stated in my first post " I made the troubleshooting but nothing changed. "

So I am a dead point, did you review my logs to see gives any clue what is my fail, looks is not the only one.

Thanks

Karl

@Karl Egas with regard to your Mac setup, do you have it set to block all incoming connections in your Firewall settings? That would not only prevent AirDrop but this from functioning properly with macOS.
