[closed] Ubuntu 12.04 Configuration

Question

I have a laptop with two monitors (Andy-Vaio, Ubuntu 12.04) and a desktop with two monitors (Andy-Dell, Windows 7) and I would like to use Synergy with them. I have it installed on both, but I cannot get them working. I would like to use the laptop as the server if that is possible.

Answer 1

I'm a Synergy newbie, but I finally got mine working (between ubuntu 12.04 and Windows Vista). What worked for me was removing the alias declaration for the server itself. As long as you use the actual network name for the machine that's acting as your server (which I assume is Andy-Vaio) then that will work without being defined as an alias. Otherwise Synergy thinks you're trying to create a an alias that's already in use by the OS. So try this:

section: screens
    Andy-Vaio:
    Andy-Dell:
end

section: aliases
    Andy-Dell:
        192.168.2.38
end

section: links
    Andy-Vaio:
        right = Andy-Dell
    Andy-Dell:
        left = Andy-Vaio
end
