OK, I have been fighting to get this working all morning and have decided it's time to ask some more experienced folks what I'm doing wrong. So I've installed Synergy 1.4.2 (beta) under OSX 10.6.7. I want to use the MacBook Pro as my main system and use it's keyboard and mouse to control the Dell Laptop. Here is my current setup: Below is the config file I've setup on the host system, after copying the files to /user/bin/ and launching synergys using the following terminal command (no errors) it doesn't seem to do anything and the Client machine isn't finding the Host. synergys --config synergy.conf synergys --config synergy.conf: section: screens section: links section: options
Also are there plans to make the OSX version work as simply as the Windows version? That would be awesome!!! |
Maybe this will help: http://synergy-foss.org/osqa/questions/256/error-a-client-with-name-is-not-in-the-map/257
I am requesting this be reopened because your suggestion doesn't appear to be the correct solution.
I have Synergy Client running on the Dell Laptop with the correct settings as follows: Name of Server: MacBook Advanced>Screen name: Dell Automatic start server or client when GUI starts: Yes
I get the following Error: WARNING: failed to connect to server: address not found for: MacBook ..libsynergyCClientApp.cpp,357
OK, I have had a little success this morning. Instead of using the short names for the computers I instead used the Full Computer name and although the PC Client sees the correct IP address of the OSX server, it is giving me an error (see below). At least they are seeing each other now. :)
<date and="" time=""> NOTE: connecting to 'Christopher-Wilmss-MacBook-Pro.local': <ip address="" :="" port=""> ..libclientCClient.cpp,115
<date and="" time=""> ERROR: server refused client with name "LC00553.ads.loyalistcollege.ca" ..libclientCServerProxy.cpp,191
<date and="" time=""> WARNING: failed to connect to server: server refused client with our name ..libsynergyCClientApp.cpp,357
I've checked that the proper name is in the config file 3 times and it looks to be accurate. Any ideas?
