Beta5 is NOT working on Mac


Recommended Posts

Just replaced with beta4 to Synergy-v2.0.0-beta5 but it's getting worse. I cannot even run beta5 on my Mac.

I used to connect PC (win-7) and Mac (OS X El Caption). It was not very easy to connect while using beta4, then, beta5 is worse. 

I have to uninstall bete5 beack to v1.8.8-stable for both devices. Otherwise, I cannot use Synergy at all.

same for me.

The UI reports unable to speak to backend services, and this crashpad_handler happens over and over and over again on the CLI.

In order to get the error log, during the break hour, I just uninstalled 1.8 on both Mac and PC. And redo/install 2.0.0-beta5. They are working and connected now.

For your reference to debug why beta5 was not working earlier today on my Mac, below is the log file pulled out from synergy-service.log. Hope it's helpful.

Bryn's screenshot was exactly the same as I had before (directly upgrade from beta4 to beta5 on mac). No matter how many times on clicking "Retry", still cannot make it worked. (Tried rebooting mac was the same error.) Therefore, I had to give up and switched to 1.8 for working on my own projects. 

Afterward, when I had a spare time and tried again on upgrading to bete5, this time was from 1.8 to beta 5. Then, it's working like a charm. Weird...

Great to hear!

@Bryn Could you try again now?

Hi Nick,

 

I have just tried again. Deleting the app on my two machines (iMac and MacBook Pro). Then reinstalling with same results on both machines. Same previous screen shot.

 

Cheers

Could you try a full uninstall and reboot? Check this post:

Hi Nick,

Update - it seems to load fine at home but not at work so it must be something to do with works network settings any suggestions?

1.8 works fine at work

Cheers

Ah, are you behind a corporate proxy? We still need to add support for those.

I can't seem to get beta 5 to work on my mac no matter what I try. at first it did an upgrade from beta 4 that failed, then I uninstalled the entire app, as per the instructions, and reinstalled it, reboot and it still gives the the error that it can not connect to the background service. hitting retry does nothing

What distro and version?

on Ubuntu 16.04 it seems to be working fine, although now I get two boxes for my computer, one with my hostname and the second with my hostname.local. it's on my mac that I just can't seem to get it working

Yeah, that's a known bug. Though I'm pretty sure it shouldn't affect the config.

Could you send your logs?
