Richard Guest 4 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 So... After reading a few forum topics and a bit of "black box inspection" I've managed to get beta4 working between my primary Fedora26 laptop and a Windows7 desktop. I had to add the firewall exceptions to Windows, as described here -   I added the directory and symlink (with a fix for incorrect case) as described here - https://symless.com/synergy-2-beta4-troubleshooting mkdir -p ~/.config/synergy/ ln -s ~/.config/Symless/Synergy/Synergy.conf ~/.config/synergy/synergy.conf And I also added a systemd service override to get synergyd to start correctly: sudo mkdir /etc/systemd/system/synergy.service.d/ sudo sh -c "echo \"[Service]\nUser=$USER\" > /etc/systemd/system/synergy.service.d/user.conf" sudo chown $USER /var/log/synergy-service.log sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl restart synergy.service  It's not pretty, but... it verks, it's verking! 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 2Â beta5 is here! Could you try this? No need to tinker with services now. Get the latest version:Â Synergy-v2.0.0-beta5 Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Guest 4 Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 Ha! I could literally have waited one day... Â I've undone _all_ the work arounds I added to make beta4 work, and beta4 is just working (tm). Â The one thing I still don't understand is how to decide which node is the server. That piece of auto-config is a frustratingly black-box... I had to run through a few service restarts before my Linux latop took over that role. Link to post Share on other sites

Richard Guest 4 Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 Yup. beta5. Â Those pesky 4 and 5 keys are mighty close together... Maybe I should've used the build number! Â Cool! Â I have had a couple of minor issues since my last post - lost clipboard functionality and had to restart the synergy service to get it back. And it wouldn't connect this morning - had to restart synergy on laptop to get things working again. But it's getting there... Link to post Share on other sites
