Synergy Frustrations

Published on March 28, 2009 in Technology. 2 Comments Tags: .

Okay, I’m putting this question out to the web (mostly Dan).

I’m trying to run my Linux server as a Synergy server. If you’re not familiar with Synergy, then you probably cannot help me, but you should definitely check it out. Essentially, it allows you to use a keyboard and mouse connected to one computer on any other computer on your network. It is very easy to use from Windows computer to another. Running Synergy on Mac or Linux is a bit more difficult.

Quick overview…here is what I want to do:

Server: Ubuntu 8.10
Client: Windows XP

I have made a config file for Synergy on my Linux computer and started it, but it lags like hell when I move the mouse over to the Windows screen.

I have tried troubleshooting this via Google, with no luck.

After repeated failure, I tried two other things. One of them seems promising, the other seems out of my league.

The first thing I tried was running Synergy over SSH. The point of this was to make a more direct and secure connection via OpenSSH on Linux and Putty on Windows.

That failed for me.

The second and more promising thing I found is a program called QuickSynergy. This program brings the easy graphical interface of Windows-based Synergy to Linux and Mac. Again, I can get the server and client to connect, but the mouse lags reallllly bad.

Any help or experimentation with QuickSynergy would be appreciated.

    Try running synergy as admin:
    sudo synergys
    I read in someone’s blog about a similar problem and a bazaar workaround involved administrative rights.

    On a related note, I did a quick google search for the problem and your blog post was ninth on the returned list!
