Herve 1 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Hi I switched to the v2 beta4 with my master running Ubuntu 16.04 64 and my slave Windows 10 64. I'm connected to my Symless account and I am getting access to both machines, but the mouse on the slave machine is very sluggish. Anything can be done to get a smooth mouse? This was not an issue with v1.8 Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
Herve 1 Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 Any idea on troubleshooting this problem? The service is not really usable with a mouse that keeps jumping around every time I am on my secondary monitor. Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Davis 4 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Can you increase the priority on windows box of the process and nice on the linux box? Have you tested network via ping or otherwise? Link to post Share on other sites
joedf 2 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) What's also weird is the mouse dies when using the keyboard on the client computer. I have to go back to the other computer and press F12? Unless that's by design and it assumes I only use one set of a keyboard+mouse. I am using 2 laptops, one mouse. I want the mouse to remain seemless (works great otherwise). So far the copy paste files and drag-n-drop between computers isn't working? Is that on the way? Or should I just stick with Version 1?

Brian Davis 4 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Sounds like something is broken. It shouldn't disconnect when using the other keyboard. I'm not sure drag n drop files is working yet in the beta, but I know copying to the clipboard between both machines does work pretty reliably from what I've seen (I'm using Windows + Mac.)

joedf 2 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) The text copy-works great. The file copy-past is a no-go. Sometimes I can use both keyboards and the mouse will still work. Looking at the logs, it seems that the services are occasionally de-synchronized. I have to repeatedly return to the other computer and do F12 to force an update which sometimes lags also. Right now it works just fine as i'm writing this post, except the mouse is slightly sluggish at a few rare times. Edited October 12, 2017 by joedf Link to post Share on other sites
joedf 2 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I am trying "Mouse without Borders" right now and I encounter no mouse-keyboard related issues. File Drag-n-drop works, and text copy-paste works... Link to post Share on other sites
GranPaSmurf 108 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 When I was using beta 3 & 4, I didn't notice any lag. In the past, I have noticed it in version 1 and noticed that also there was an auto-scan running of a virus scan. In other words, on that particular older machine, it seemed to be an issue of resource/memory utilization. The lag went away when the scan finished. Nick is aware of this lag on some setups and said that beta 5 would bypass whatever was causing it. We're hoping for beta 5 in the next couple of weeks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Herve 1 Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 Switched back to v1.8.8 which is perfectly smooth. The beta 4 feels like it's trying to stop or slow down at every horizontal line on the monitor or something like that. It's not usable to work with. Waiting for beta 5 now... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Synergy Team Nick Bolton 407 Posted October 31, 2017 Synergy Team Share Posted October 31, 2017 Finally, Synergy 2 beta5 is here! Could you give it a try? Get the latest version: Synergy-v2.0.0-beta5 Link to post Share on other sites
joedf 2 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Great! I will try it out soon and report back on this Link to post Share on other sites

joedf 2 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 It's a lot better, much smoother transition. The only downside is when I use my keyboard on the 2nd computer, I lose the sync for a few seconds until I activate/click the Synergy window on the main computer. Link to post Share on other sites
Keiichi25 2 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Running beta 5 and noticing a slight 'lag' when transitioning from Server to client. Sometimes I have to 'ram' the mouse to the side before the client acknowledges the mouse has transitioned. I would say roughly a half second lag. Sometimes more when a game is going like World of Warcraft. This is on Windows 10x64. Link to post Share on other sites

Robert Sillett 0 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I too am experiencing a significant (i.e. sadly, unusable) lag with the mouse on the client PC. My setup is very simple. I have a desktop Windows PC that is the master and a Microsoft Surface Pro 4 as a client. I'm afraid that I need to revert to Synergy v1 as v2 is just not working right. The mouse transfers from the master to the client only rarely. And when the mouse does transition over, it's very slow on the client. It would be great if you would add back the manual configuration options that you have in Synergy v1. Think about making it an option. You can configure in cloud mode or legacy mode.

Sort of feel like I had to 'ram' the mouse to get it to go over to the client side. I should redefine what I mean by lag, by a 'pause' between hitting edge of screen on server, seems to sit there and then shows it going over to client screen. But from client to server, no noticeable pause. Also - Suggestion - Don't re-center the mouse pointer. It can cause some confusion as to where the mouse is on the 'non-active' screen.
