Installation of Beta 2 in OpenSUSE


Alexander Gordon Taylor

Hi, excited to try out beta 2, and attempting to install in OpenSUSE 42.2.

A few dependencies seem to be falling over on versioning predominantly.

 

I've installed the rpm with --nodeps, as corresponding packages for all the failed dependencies were already installed  -full outputs as below.

I added symlinks to existing version libraries (which I have found successful in OpenSUSE in the past for other issues):

  • /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.10 -> /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.37.0.0
  • /usr/lib64/libssl.so.10 -> /usr/lib64/libssl.so

With that done I can launch /usr/bin/synergyd without obvious visible errors from the process, however the client is reporting ERROR: Reply error message: Invalid JSON request: bad numeric conversion: negative overflow.

Very happy to assist with further testing!

 

 

Client Logs before symlinks added: https://synergy-logs.symless.com/2017-10-11/6199-2017-10-12T09-36-21.log

Client Logs after symlinks added: https://synergy-logs.symless.com/2017-10-11/6199-2017-10-12T09-48-08.log

I've had the same issues with openSuSE Tumbleweed. I symlinked libcrytpo.so.38 to libcrypto.so.10 and libssl.so.27 to libssl.so.10. Attempting to start synergy.service from systemctl fails every time (output from journalctl -x -u synergy.service below), but running it from a command line window as per the instructions on the Linux troubleshooting post have it working with one Windows 10 client connected. :)

Here's what happens when attempting to start the service from systemd (this is all from one instance of 'systemctl start synergy.service':

I modified the line in the systemd unit file to Environment=HOME=/home/<my_user>, did systemctl daemon-reload and restarted the service, and it works! Win 10 client is connected and the openSuSE box's keyboard and mouse are being shared successfully. 

the beta4 is really unreliable, so just simply restart might have done the job the same way.

I tried that, but unfortunately it didn't. Now that it's working, performance seems (subjectively) smoother/faster/less resource intensive on the Win 10 Tablet than 1.88. The machines are on 2 different subnets - that wasn't officially supported on 1.88, but it worked with an avahi reflector proxying bonjour info between subnets, so it did work. I'm guessing that 2.0 doesn't use avahi/bonjour, so it takes that overhead out of the way. Of course, I could be completely wrong about that, too...

have you don this:?

read a bit futher and you'll find who to properly start the service without it crashing

Yes, but rather than run /bin/env, my systemd unit file now looks like this:

 

[Unit]
Description=Synergy Service
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
Restart=always
RestartSec=5
SyslogLevel=err
ExecStart=/usr/bin/synergyd
Environment=HOME=/home/<my_username>

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Where <my_username> above is a placeholder for my actual username. I upped RestartSec to 5 to avoid the errors I was seeing with the service trying to restart too quickly after a failure (mind you, since it's been starting properly it probably hasn't needed that parameter). 

Both methods are correct - I find this one easier to read, even if it is an extra line of config. I guess it's really down to personal preference.

Thanks, I am now successfully running, though I did have to alter the symlink from Nick's recommendation, from

    ln -s ~/.config/Symless/Synergy/synergy.conf ~/.config/synergy/synergy.conf
to
    ln -s ~/.config/Symless/Synergy.conf ~/.config/synergy/synergy.conf
...as the target wasn't as Nick suggested.

 

So at this point my OpenSUSE installation in successful, and I can see and move other screens in the config window.

It's not working reliably for me, but I'll put that feedback somewhere more relevant, as the installation issue is solved.

this was a common problem in beta4, try rc1 and see what happens.

2.0 won't support openSUSE, but it's coming soon.

I upgraded to Synergy 2 and didnt realize it didnt support openSUSE - and was a bit disappointed. I guess I should have checked first....

Thanks so much to Rodney Baker - his posts/instructions got it working for me!!! Massive kudos to you Rodney! Thanks again!

Sorry about that, we do plan to add openSUSE support, thanks for your patience.

Still waiting...it hasn't been working for me since around 2.0.4. :( Looks like I wasted my money on 2.0. openSuSE support isn't even mentioned in the roadmap - how long should we be patient for, Nick?
