Greetings
Synergy-2.0.0-818 does not work on Fedora 26.
 
It never came up, and it did not leave a log footprint.  The only Linux package was marked centos, while past ones were only marked Linux; the failure may be incompatibility, between fedora and centos, or that this rendition is not Linux generic.
 
But DNF installed installed it without complaint.
 
I've captured screen reports and messages from when I started it for you.
fedora_synergycrash.txt
 
Downloaded Synergy 2 beta on Windows/7-64.
Downloaded Synergy 2 beta on Fedora 26-64.
 
Files
Linux: synergy-2.0.0-818.beta4.042356d4.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm
(No Fedora file available, but this is in Redhat/Fedora rpm section.
 
dnf install reported no errors.
 
The dnf.log is attached.
 
There is no cli command in the Linux path.
 
/var/log/synergy.log has NO Synergy 2 entries.  It is all Synergy 1 - no sense sending it.
 
Windows: Synergy_v2.0.0-beta4_b987-042356d4.msi
 
Synergy_v2.0.0-beta4_b987-042356d4.msi  was installed on Windows 7
The windows machine shows a box with the machine name in it.  Nothing responds except the windows tool bar with only windows functions.

Win/7 firewall on my trusted LAN behind a hardware firewall is off, and Win/7 recorded no Synergy Beta log events.
I use synergy daily, so I have to uninstall Synergy-2 until you've got something more to try.

Since this forum won't let me upload the crash data or insert other media, I've posted the install log, the startup screen, and  the fedora messages abstract on my website:

dnf.log is at http://xenodochy.org/data/dnf.log
synergycrash.txt is at http://xenodochy.org/data/synergycrash.txt
fedora-synergycrash.txt is at http://xenodochy.org/data/fedora-synergycrash.txt

Hope this provides some useful info for somebody.

I dont see anything wrong with the dnf.log(although I am not familiar with fedora) but its trying to upgrade the package, try removing the old one first.

synergycrash.txt: its already running, so you dont have to start it again

fedora-synergycrash.txt: it sais the home variable is not defined.

have you tried:?

make sure to read everything. or does root have a home directory? if not you should create one, this might not fix the issue but it would allow you to run the service manually
