osx lion keyboard synergy server

also the same issue here too.

Synergy: 1.3.7 stable and 1.4.3 beta

Machine 1 = OS X lion (synergys) Machine 2 = OS X Snow leopard (synergyc)

Symptom: - mouse moves fine, but no keyboard entry

Ditto. Synergy 1.4.3 on OS Lion server and 1.3.4 client on Snow Leopard. Mouse right, keyboard unconnected.

Synergy: 1.3.7 stable and 1.4.3 beta

Machine 1 = OS X lion (synergys) Machine 2 = OS X Snow leopard (synergyc)

Symptom: - mouse moves fine, but i get hotkeys on client side, but not on server side.

Just chiming in with information that might help reproduce the bug and/or find a work-around of their own...

Server: An iMac (27 inch, Late 2009) with OSX 10.6.8 running Synergy 1.3.7 stable.

Client: A MacBook Pro with OSX 10.7.1 running Synergy 1.3.7 stable.

The network connection is FireWire (WEP 128 bit encryption) reserving internet from the desktop to the laptop.

My co-worker with a basically identical setup got his keyboard to work without lots of complexity. I jumped into the deep end following recommended dual connection setup for Macs described here: http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/autostart.html

Even after I fixed the bugs in that (the readme says to drop executables in /usr/bin but the shell scripts target a non-existence /usr/local/bin) his worked and mine didn't.

Another potential differences include that his server uses a wireless keyboard with relatively few adjustments whereas mine plugs in via USB and has a numpad and so on, plus substantial remapping to make home/end/pgup/pgdown work like linux/windows/solaris/etc.

Turning on debugging on both sides showed that keypress events were happening on the desktop server and nothing to correspond to them was showing up on the laptop client. I could connect. I could move the mouse back and forth. I could highlight something on the client and see clipboard debug messages on the server. But typing wouldn't function on the client.

In any case, a second co-worker with more Mac experience sent me to SynergyKM instead, and after monkeying with computer names and IPs and so on it worked and I'm typing this "bug report" on my laptop via my desktop's keyboard via synergykm. When I looked at synergykm's autogenerated synergy.conf it had all kinds of bells and whistles that might relate to the success. I don't have time to muck around much more but the laptop client running lion is described with lots of stuff roughly like this:

section: screens
 laptopclientlion:  

  halfDuplexCapslock = false
  super = super
  alt = alt
  ctrl = ctrl
  halfDuplexNumlock = false
  shift = shift
  halfDuplexScolllock = false
 serverdesktopsnowleopard:
end

Hopefully some of that is related to success/failure and helps someone track their issue down :)

Has anyone submitted a issue about keyboards not working on lion? I see people talking about it but no actually issue reports.

This morning I got to work and everything worked for me. Only thing that I did last night was install xcode. Is anyone else having the problem with xcode installed?

Host: OSX Lion - 1.4.3 Client: Windows 7 - 1.4.3

After a layoff occasioned by this issue, I tried it again and Heyhey! it's now working. I think this might, guessing from the above posts, be because I had installed Xcode in the interim to allow me to learn Java.

Or, maybe, it was the goat I sacrificed at midnight in the woods...

I'll be camping this weekend and I'll try to find a goat to sacrifice to help everyone else out :) I have a problem with my meta keys not being mapped correctly but I'm pretty sure I'll figure that out when I get some time.

@HappyJoe : do modifier keys work as well? My keyboard and trackpad don't seem to have any issues, but none of the modifier keys (CMd, Control, Alt, Fn) work.

I am also having the same issue. I tried hitting Fn + Option + F12 on the mac, and I toggled scroll lock on the PC on and off. Did not fix the issue.

I am running the nightly build 1.5.0 r1095 (opn both Mac and PC. The Mac is host running 10.6.8 and the PC is the client running Win 7 64 -SP1.

Please fix, Synergy is so awesome and this make me so sad. (sorry for incorrectly posting this as an answer before.)

It's still not working between Lion and Windows (mouse does, but keyboard does not).

Thanks in advance!
