Hello,

I'm using QuickSynergy 1.2 on a OSX 10.7.2 machine to connect to a synergy 1.4. 
server running on a Windows 7 box.

The issue I have is that I have to click on "Run" to establish the connection 
to the Windows machine. Is there no autoconnect feature in QuickSynergy? I want 
to use the OSX machine without keyboard and mouse attached.

Best Regards,
nona

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. quick synergy 1.2 installed on both server and client
2. server = yosemite 10.10.4 client = 10.7.5
3. when using magic mouse on server, then connecting to a synergy screen, the 
magic mouse scroll area becomes very sensitive and practically unusable (its 
multiplies the scrolling factor)

very annoying to have to use the scrollbars...

would be awesome if someone can overcome this...

thanks!

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Connect Ubuntu 11.1 QuickSynergy server with Windows 7 Synergy 1.3.8 client
2. Open Outlook 
3. Synergy stops responding on client 

Seamless operation of Synergy regardless of application being open is what is 
expected. 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. With 2 connected computers, move mouse to client screen and wait
2. Let both computers go idle, so that both screens lock and go black
3. Move mouse (still on client screen only) to wake up computer(s)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
+ Expected: (Un)Lock screen (showing password prompt dialog only) is shown on 
both.  (Or at the least, unlock on client and unchanged black idle screen on 
host.)
+ Observed: Unlock screen will display on client, but host screen will display 
active desktop & windows - as if the password dialog was bypassed 
automatically.  
  As soon as you try to move the mouse back to the host screen to interact with anything, it *will* hide everything and switch to the unlock screen, prompting you for your password.  However, the point remains that someone could passively see/read everything you currently have up on your host machine without needing to enter your password.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
- quicksynergy 0.9.0 (both)
Host:
 - Ubuntu 12.04 (GNOME Classic)
 - (x86_64)
Client:
 - Ubuntu 12.04 (Unity)
 - (ARM - PandaBoard)



Please provide any additional information below.
 This doesn't seem to happen the other way (when you wake on Host, only Host shows lock screen, Client remains idle/black).

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. try to use ipv6 for communication (tab Use)
2. I got error: "synergyc: invalid port"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
ipv6 working

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.8.1 - fedora 20

Please provide any additional information below.

I would like to have the option to disable switching in some of the corners of 
the screen. That way, when I move up to click a close button, I don't end up on 
a different screen.
Thanks

On the mac version of QuickSynergy, the bar says Snergy instead of Synergy.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Install synergy+
2.  Install quicksynergy
3.  Quicksynergy will not run synergy+

I'm running Ubunutu 10.10 with synergy+ 1.3.4 (x86) and it will not not 
start-up synergy+.

Combined with the fact that QuickSynergy still display the 'stop' button in
the share tab, it is a very bad combo

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Launch QuickSynergy for sharing on Leopard
2. Put the computer to sleep
3. Awake computer
4. clients doesn't connect
5. Press stop button, which will still display stop (Growl notifies
"synergy started")
6. clients can connect now

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
synergy daemon should be still running or at least relaunched when computer
is awaken.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
v1.2 - Leopard

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run synergys for a while without logging out
2. Observe logs of synergys DEBUG output in ~/.xsession-errors (approx 1GB/day 
for me)
3. Eventually run out of disk space

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Ought to be possible to specify what "-d FOO" option is passed to synergys.  
Running with "-d ERROR" should probably be the default.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.9.0 on Debian testing (wheezy/sid)

Please provide any additional information below.

Arguably, it's a bug in synergys that debugging is on by default.

If I can install QuickSynergy on Lucid Puppy Linux, how do I go about it?
Thanks!

Using Quick Synergy 1.2 on Mac Os X Snow Leopart 10.6.4 ITA.

I would like to minimize the software in the menu bar, near to the clock, and 
removing visibility in the dock.

Is it possible to implement this feature?

Thank you

Explain the use of Quick Synergy in a friendly manner

On an Ubuntu 10.11 client machine and an 11.03 Server machine, both using 
quicksynergy, whenever the mouse leaves the host machine's screen it will at 
first disappear.  However, there will be no action on the client machine.  Any 
further movement and the mouse will reappear perfectly centred back on the host 
machine.  No keyboard commands will register either for the brief time that the 
mouse clears from the host machine.

I've attached a file demonstrating the behavior

I will run quicksynergy on my linux computer and synergy on my windows.

(My windows computer is the server with the mouse and keyboard, while the linux 
is the computer I am trying to remotely control)

I Start the Synergy server on my windows computer then try running the 
QuickSynergy Client on the linux computer and it won't necessarily connect. 
Usually I have to keep doing this over and over and eventually it will connect.

I am wondering why it does this. I would like it to connect first try (not 10th 
or 20th).

Any ideas why this is happening.
Here is a working situation: 

NOTE: starting server
NOTE: config file: C:/Users/Ferg/AppData/Local/Temp/qt_temp.em3984
NOTE: log level: NOTE
NOTE: started server, waiting for clients
NOTE: accepted client connection
NOTE: client "raspberrypi" has connected

I am also curious why my config file is stored in a temp location?

I think that the Screen name on the Use tab should default to the client's 
hostname (i.e. the output of `hostname -s`).

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. No "Options" available in the GUI
2. Manually edit the "section: options" in synergy.conf
3. Clicking "execute" on the GUI removes the "section: options" in synergy.conf

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Manual edits to the synergy.conf should not be erased. The ideal would be
to be able to configure all the options from the GUI

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
quicksynergy 0.9.0
synergys 1.3.1, protocol version 1.3
Linux nms-dev 2.6.31-18-generic-pae #55-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 8 16:13:23 UTC
2010 i686 GNU/Linux

Please provide any additional information below.

I have quicksynergy installed on 2x ubuntu laptops (one 10.04 - sharer, one 
10.10 - user). On the User machine, certain keys are not mapped - for example 
£@#~|[] 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

£@#~|}{ transmit as #q\|~89

To use synergy with certain games running on a client machine,
relativeMouseMoves must be set in the synergy.conf file. Currently
quicksynergy overwrites this file each time execute is pressed.

Attached is a patch file that contains mods to the settings tab to
enable/disable relative mouse moves, and screen saver sync.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.chmod ugo-w .quicksynergy/synergy.conf
2.quicksynergy -> share -> run

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would like to be able to set the config in stone because I have mapped keys 
that I do not want quicksynergy to rewrite


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.9.0 Ubuntu

Please provide any additional information below.
Otherwise I like it!

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Going to "Menu - Administrations - Users and Groups" press "Advanced 
Settings" root password go to "User Privileges" check "Use video devices"  
2. restart computer
3. When I undo the above quicksynergy works again

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I can not use Quicksynergy

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Qucksynergy 0.9-1
Synergy 1.3.1-1ubuntu1

Please provide any additional information below.

Sharing on Mac OS X 10.5.8 ...

On my system the server won't start because the hostname that the GUI app gets 
from the NS* APIs 
and puts in the config file doesn't match the hostname that the server gets 
from posix APIs. I was 
able to fix this by modifying the config file generation code in the GUI to 
include an alias section.

My patch to do this is attached. So far it's working great on my machine :)

BTW - Thanks for this great little app! 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.install quicksynergy on both machines
2.correctly configure 
3.run server and connect client

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

expected: fully functional with working scroll wheel
observed: functional but with no mouse scroll wheel horizontal or vertical 


What version of the product are you using?
quicksynergy 1.2

On what operating system?
osx 10.6.8 server

osx 10.6 (no updates) client

Please provide any additional information below.

Since the official Synergy application for Windows hasn't had a single 
update in years, it would be great if QuickSynergy could be made available 
for Windows as well, since it seems to be the Synergy application with most 
steam and momentum.

QuickSynergy does everything much better and easier than the official 
Windows application, so if it had been available for Windows there'd be no 
reason to use the official one over QuickSynergy. I'd use it across the 
board to control all of my computers (Linux, OS X and Windows) had it been 
available to Windows as well as Linux and OS X.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start quicksynergy
2. It crashes.
3. There is no step 3. There's no step 3!


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
qs 1.2 on OS 10.4.11

Quicksynergy uses GtkStatusIcon, and does not have support for application 
indicators. As a result, it cannot be brought back once closed in Ubuntu's 
Unity environment which disables the notification area.

The attached patch adds Application Indicator support that is automatically 
enabled if the library is found.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

I have laptop with external monitor connected on right of screen. Desktop
computer is connected with Synergy  on left of laptop. I'm controlling
desktop over laptop keyboard and mouse. Laptop and external monitor
connected to it have different resolutions, Monitor have greater. Laptop
monitor is primary.

Everything works ok until, I move mouse out of visible area (because of
monitor greater resolution I'm able to move mouse out of visible area of
laptop). When I return mouse down to visible area Quick Synergy stop
respond, I'm unable to move on desktop monitor. After some time Synergy
will start to work again.

Ubuntu 10.04 on both machines (laptop and desktop).
Quick Synergy 0.9-1 and Synergy 1.3.1-6

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.I set server to share with hostname of client.
2.I set client to use from local ip of server.
3.I click "execute" on server and then client, also have tried the reverse 
order.

I have followed instructional guides to setting up exactly.  It's not 
complicated.  However, there are no results.  It simply does not work.  I 
assume I am missing something but nothing I have found points toward any 
answer. 


I am using Quicksynergy 0.9.0 on two Ubuntu 10.4 machines. Also, one Windows 7 
machine.


The machines are all connected to one router.

In MS Windows Synergy settings I can set more then one computer on one side.

I miss this feature in QuickSynergy. 

Can you add "Advanced settings" feature, where i can set this?

Thaks lot for your great work.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I have 2 pc, one with windows (it has synergy) and the other with debian (it 
have quicksynergy).
2. When I'm using synergy, the virtual keyboard it's not the same in both 
computers.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

1. Im use spanish/spanish in both, but the virtual keyboard of synergy look 
likes English and I can't use spanish characters like (ñ, ó).
2. The phisical keyboard on linux it's correct.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

  * Quick synergy 0.9.0
  * Synergy 1.3.6
Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Install QuickSynergy
2.Click Uninstall in Start->QSynergy->uninstall
3.Click Start->QSynergy->QSynergy

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output is that Start->QSynergy folder will be gone after step 2. 
Instead, it is still there, and QSynergy will still run

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version indicates (unknown) in About QSynergy. OS is Win 7 Pro 64-bit

Please provide any additional information below.
Clicking on Start->QSynergy->Readme after running Uninstall prompts for removal 
of Readme file, which happens if you answer yes.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Observe title bar in Mac OSX 10.5, presumably others 


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The title bar should read 'QuickSynergy,' but is missing the first 'y'. It
currently reads 'QuickSnergy.'


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.9.0, OSX 10.5.8.

Please provide any additional information below.

Also using the packaged .deb version from the Ubuntu repos-- the error is
not present in this version.

It would be neat if QuickSynergy could detect available servers (and 
clients) when setting it up so there wouldn't be a need to enter IP 
addresses or host names. Auto-detecting the host operating system and 
showing it with a descriptive icon in a drag and drop interface would be 
really nifty!

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Install Quicksynergy 0.9 on Ubuntu and Quicksynergy 1.2 on Mac(10.8)
2. Start Quick synergy on both systems.
3. Configure Ubuntu as Server . In Share window give ip_address of Mac in Left .
In Mac, go to Use page and give ip-address of Ubuntu in the Server hostname/ip 
address. 
4. Hit Run on both systems.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The mouse and keyboard should be shared. But nothing happens .


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.9 on Ubuntu 11.04
1.2 on Mac 10.8

Please provide any additional information below.

Is there any way to configure a setup with 3+ clients where quicksynergy is
the server? In my case I have Quicksynergy running as the server to the
right side of three client machines. I know I can just change the
parameters in the config file directly, but I'm sure options for
non-standard setups would be well-received.

Great work though! 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Normal install
2. Set Linux as Host
3. enter Linux box IP as the Server
4. No love

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I may be missing something here but I use Quicksynergy on both my Linux and 
Snow Leopard 
(Now Snow) machines.  Does anyone know if it works with Snow?  Do I need to 
complie for 64  
bit?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest Download Quicksynergy 1.2 no both Snow Leopard (Mac) and Ubuntu 
9.10(dell)

I suggests a new feature: Drag&Drop for files and folders between the two 
desktops.

Good work!

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. quick synergy 1.2 installed on both server and client
2. server = yosemite 10.10.4 client = 10.7.5
3. spacebar does not work in photoshop as expected (does not activate hand tool 
to pan in the document)

very annoying to have to use the scrollbars...

would be awesome if someone can overcome this...

thanks!

quicksynergy runs synergys without the "-a" option thus binding to all IP 
addresses. Please add an option to specify the IP address to bind to in 
quicksynergy.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start synergy/QS server, & fire up QS client
2. Configure client with relative spaces & server to connect to
3. Set tab to [Share], not [Use]
4. press [Execute]

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
* Client only connects when on [Use] tab; not when on [Share] tab

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
* 0.9.0

Please provide any additional information below.
* See bug on multiple OS's. Not critical

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run server on linux (Left screen)
2. Run client on Mac OS X (Right Screen)
3. Copy text on mac os x
4. Move mouse to Linux screen

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected: Everything is fine
Actual: Server segfaults :O


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Server: synergys 1.3.1, protocol version 1.3 (plain synergys and
quicksynergy both crash)
Client: Quick Synergy 0.8

Please provide any additional information below.

I have seen a similar bug report with SynergyPlus, it is reported here
http://code.google.com/p/synergy-plus/issues/detail?id=297

I have also commented at comment number 6 on that issue with the specific
DEBUG messages I have seen right before synergys crashed

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open server
2. Add computer x to right of server
3. Attempt to add another computer to right of x

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
After adding computer x to right, additional position options appear for adding 
more computers to right and above/below of x.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
quick synergy 0.9.0. on ubuntu 10.

The official Synergy client uses two different icons to indicate whether a
connection is established.  QuickSynergy ought to also.

It would be cool if QuickSynergy could minimise to the menu bar rather than the 
dock on Mac. This 
could be set by a checkbox or similar on one of the tabs. If QuickSynergy is 
going to show 
connection status in the future, the icon could glow red or similar when the 
connection is down. 
Clicking the icon in the menubar could give run/stop options, and an option to 
open the panel. 
When QuickSynergy is minimised to the menubar it should disappear from the 
dock. This could 
work in a way similar to Adobe Updater, Google Mail Notifier or the Tweetie 
menu bar icon.

I am running synergy client on a win32 system, and quicksynergy on a 10.5.7
OSX. The mouse moves to the windows system, but no keyboard/mouseclick
actions are carried over. I have verbose logging turned on but do not see
anything to indicate a problem.

On a "mousedown" event, the action is carried out locally at the Mac, and
any movement while the mousebutton is down is carried out on the MAC.
Occasionally I can get keyboard control to transfer over, but not reliably.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Using Ubuntu 11.04 with Unity enabled
2. Move between screens
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Moving the cursor from the remote screen back to the home screen causes the 
screen to flash black. It does not flash when moving from the home screen to 
the remote screen.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Ubuntu Linux 11.04 Beta 2 AMD64 with quicksynergy 0.9.0 for home screen.
Ubuntu Linux 10.10 AMD64 with quicksynergy 0.9.0 for remote screen.

Please provide any additional information below.
I'm using the nVidia 270.30 binary video driver.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run QS server (with inputs) - currently using QS 1.1 on Mac, server = 1.3.8
2. Run QS client on new Ubuntu 12.04, QS v.0.9.0, client=1.3.8
3. Test mouse pointer & keyboard presses OK, press meta key: shift, alt, ctrl, 
super, etc

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
* Pointer does not cross screens, but no errors or messages outputted to CLI

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
* 1.3.8 binaries on client & server

Please provide any additional information below.
* Mac OS/X 10.6.8 server
* Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin 32-bit on client

Request to have a parameter for QuickSynergy that minimized it to the
system tray by automatically clicking "Execute" and then "Close"

Example:

quicksynergy --silent

This would allow users to put QuickSynery in their startup (Example:
Preferences --> Startup Applications) in Ubuntu.
