Mouse Disappears, no keyboard. Kali Linux client, macOS Sierra 10.12.6 server


Recommended Posts

All freshly updated from apt on linux, new .dmg install and download on mac.

Cursor disappears when I move to the linux host. The screen "flickers" like it's become active, and I can draw a "selecting" rectangle on the linux desktop, but the cursor is not visible, and I cannot select foreground apps (terminal, firefox, etc) and if I left one in focus with the hard keyboard/mouse, synergy server-side keyboard/mouse is not able to interact with foreground app.

Blew away the apt- -based install and built from source, issue is the same.

 

Logs on client are uninteresting.

Logs on server are telling, but not in any meaningful way:

Update: 
I gave up on Mac. (for other reasons).
Installed Win10 on my MBP (it's OK I guess, but I digress).

Installed WIndows 64bit version of Synergy. Made no changes on the Kali Linux side.

Works like a charm.

Synopsis: Mac OSX (ie macOS) version is pooched somehow in that it's not working right with Linux client on Kali. ?? I guess? 
Anyway, no more time to spend on this. moving on.
