Synergy 1.8.4-stable-a6ff907 issues


Recommended Posts

karl wiggisser

I installed synergy "1.8.4-stable-a6ff907" today and it's completely unusable. I have a Win8.1 as server and a Mac ElCapitan as client.

 

On the client i checked "auto config" which worked fine for a very long time now (at least I don't remember entering a server IP in any of the past release). Now if I want to start synergy I get the error message "Please fill in a hostname for the synergy client to connect to". If I enter my servers IP address it will allow me to start the client.

 

BUT

 

The server CRASHES! I start the server, but in the moment, the client tries to connect I get a warning in the log window "unrecognised client name 'name-of-my-client'" and an error popup "synergys.exe has stopped working". In the interactive server configuration my mac had a different name, so I removed it and added it with the exact name which is shown in the clients window. Did not help. I tried restarting the server and the client, which then let me connect server and client. In the moment I click "stop" in the server window, I again get the message "synergys.exe" has stopped working.

 

 

I'm using synergy for quite a long time now, but I'm sorry to say, it gets worse with every release. Things that worked before stopped working. It's crashing all the time. And the connection seems to be very slow because my mouse-cursor is often stuck for several seconds, not only on the clients screen, but also on the servers screen.

 

I really must say, this release is the worst I have ever seen and calling this "stable" can only be a joke. If I would deploy such code-quality on our alpha-testing server, I get serious problems with my boss. :evil: :evil: :evil:

I have this same issue!

 

Running a server on Windows 7 and client on OSX 11.

 

My Windows server often locks up and I get a Windows error message that the program has stopped working.

The problem is repeatable for me under the following circumstances:

1.) I make any change to the server configuration server (Windows throws the error message after I click Apply in Synergy).

2.) The Windows error message pops up about Synergy any time I need to enter my administrator password (system-wide).

 

When the error message pops up, the Window's mouse becomes extremely laggy until I click Quit/Exit on the error message. However, Synergy does not actually quit. It stay open and manages to reconnect with my Mac after about 5-10 seconds.

I am having this problem as well. It happens on some random occasions, but also nearly every time I lock my server (win+L). I get a generic message that synergys.exe has stopped working and I can't use the mouse and keyboard on the server at this point - the only way I have found to recover from this is to remotely kill synergys.exe using psexec/pskill from another computer. Everything resumes working fine at that point until the next time that synergys.exe crashes.

 

The error message displayed provides the following information:

Synergy seems to behave better if I start the server first before ever opening the client on my Mac. Opening Synergy on my Mac first, leads to Synergy hanging on the Windows server.

Same issues here. So far if I lock windows and log back in the error appears, lags mouse and keyboard response. Also happens if I'm connected to my client, and the client disconnects. That crash has some added bonus behavior of making windows disappear and reappear and some beeps from my speakers that I've never heard before. It happens when I hit stop on the server too.

Having trouble with WinLinMac network while SSL enabled.

Having SSL enabled causes serious "lag" when moving from screen to screen or generally moving about on one screen. very annoying!

Tried all remedies/suggestions posted here with no result. It seems the further Synergy is developed the more problems we encounter? :x

I have the same issue here. 1.8.4 continuously causes Windows errors and locks up the mouse. Here is the log from within Synergy:

Having the same issue, windows 7 as server, and OS X 10.11.6 client. The auto configure isn't working at all have to type in the server IP. Synergy crashes on the server frequently "Stopped working" error. I usually have to keep a keyboard plugged into the client because upon startup it tries to default to auto config, which isn't working, so I have to manually type in the ip every time I reboot. Any resolution?? Should I try reverting to an older version of the software?

1.8.4 has not worked for me - after installation I experienced weird screen flickering and icon flashing on the server desktop and no mouse response on the client. I uninstalled 18.4 and went back to 1.7.6 - everything is working as expected.

Hi, I have "alt gr" issues since 1.8.3 and keep on with the new version. Spanish keyboard configuration using Linux Mint 64 bits as a server and Windows 10 64 bits as a client. Does it has to work?

 

Regards.

+1 here with 1.8.4 x64 on Windows 2012 R2 server with Win 10 Client

 

Crash of Synergy on the server occurs when stopping Synergy from the Synergy window (no matter whether using the stop or the apply button), occurs also after unlocking the client, and also when enterin UAC screen on the client.

Running synergy X64 on two windows 10 PC's. If the server is actively running Google Chrome, the mouse scroll wheel on the client PC does not work on Windows Explorer or Google Chrome on the client PC. If you minimize Google Chrome on the Server PC, the scroll wheel functions normally on the Client PC.

Has anyone gotten a resolution to the "Synergy stopped responding" message on screen lock? I'm running 1.8.7, and getting the same messages:
