quick synergy not working, workspace issue? or?

[Berto Miguel]

I am running Ubuntu 11.04 on two machines; older dell desktop and an acer laptop. I have loaded quick synergy on both but can't get it to work. I have followed the install guides using proper server/client names in appropriate boxes etc. Removed and re-installed and still no luck. One question does multiple work spaces which seems to be a default setting interfere with quick synergy? Maybe there is an easy explanation to this problem but I haven't found one so far and have been searching the net for a couple of days. Some ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Still searching for a solution, re-installed synergy. Could the problem be in identifying location of synergy files?

I'm having the same issue trying with one laptop running 11.04 and one desktop running #!.

I just installed Quick Synergy on Natty and Oneiric machines, initially with no joy and no feedback as to the problem. However running the program from the terminal will spew out a lot of info about the synergy connection and in my case I had the following error:


Error: a client with name "....." is not in the map

From this error I found on the Synergy troubleshooting guide (http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/trouble.html#problem6) that using an IP address in Quicksynergy on the server (Share tab) was the issue and switching to client hostname fixed this.

Hope this might help.
