xiphoid24 1 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I am running Ubuntu 17.04 on a laptop and desktop. On both machines synergyd crashes shortly after boot. In order t use Synergy 2 I hace to manually run /usr/bin/synergyd in a terminal. Then open the synergy window to connect the two. After they are connected I can close both terminals Link to post Share on other sites

xiphoid24 1 Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 Thanks for the quick response. I read the whole thread but I am still having issues. I no longer get a crash popup on boot but the service is still not starting. Should I continue to reply here or should I reply on the other thread? Link to post Share on other sites
jaap aarts 65 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 what does: systemctl status synergy respond with? Link to post Share on other sites
xiphoid24 1 Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 This is what is displayed ● synergy.service - Synergy Service Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/synergy.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Tue 2017-10-24 10:26:58 EDT; 2h 34min ago Main PID: 1054 (code=exited, status=203/EXEC) Oct 24 10:26:58 heimdallr systemd[1]: synergy.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

Your response in the other post says to modify /usr/lib/systemd/system/synergy.service. Which I did. There is also a service located at /lib/systemd/system/synergy.service. This is the one systemctl seems to be using. I modified both acordingly /usr/lib/systemd/system/synergy.service $ cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/synergy.service [Unit] Description=Synergy Service After=network.target [Service] Type=simple Restart=always RestartSec=0 SyslogLevel=err ExecStart=/bin/env HOME=/home/greg /usr/bin/synergyd [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target /lib/systemd/system/synergy.service $ cat /lib/systemd/system/synergy.service [Unit] Description=Synergy Service After=network.target [Service] Type=simple Restart=always RestartSec=0 SyslogLevel=err ExecStart=/bin/env HOME=/home/greg /usr/bin/synergyd [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Thanks for your help Link to post Share on other sites
