To make Synergy works in both Mac (as client) and Linux (as server), we should do this things:
1. Make sure have same version
If synergy version on client and server different, then connection problem will be occur.
So make sure we installing same version on both client and server.
2. Use Version 1.3.7
I found problem when using the latest version, then i rollback into 1.3.7 version and the connection problem is gone. Fyi, I use Mac OS X Snow Leopard and Fedora 18.
3. Configuration
There no special configuration here. For Fedora, I use this “/etc/synergy.conf”:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 | section: screens fedora: mac: section: links fedora: left = mac mac: right = fedora |
In this case, fedora is my hostname. So I just add “mac” in “/etc/hosts”:
1 | 192.168.1.3 mac |
4. Run
In Fedora, i run synergys by :
1 | synergys -f |
In Mac OS X, i run synergyc by:
1 | ./synergyc -f 192.168.1.4 |
Which 192.168.1.4 is my Fedora IP address. Now we can share screen between Mac OS X and Linux 😀
