I am running quicksynergy on an Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit Acer laptop and Synergy 1.3.7 Client on a Windows XP laptop. I have been using this combo for approx 3 weeks now with no hassle. However since yesterday I loose intermittent control of the mouse and keyboard for the XP (Client) m/c at random and then it recovers. Looking at the client synergy log with log level = debug it was complaining that it couldn't connect to the Server and that it was trying after 1 sec. After a couple of tries it would connect and everything would work fine for a while.

I have an IP address in the client rather than a m/c name.

Whilst I can see the log on the client is there an equivalent log on the Server where quicksynergy is running that I could look at to see what might be the problem.

Trying to work in this hit & miss way is not very conducive to productivity.

All help gratefully received.

Thanks

Try the command line with -l on your server while troubleshooting.

Something like this, where /synergyS.log is your log file.

 /usr/bin/synergys -c /etc/synergy.conf -l /synergyS.log -f

Using -f will allow you to see real time what is going on, the log file can be your permanent reference.
