Synergy application can't change to other PC when reaching screen edge #21
Comments
Hi, Mate is forked from Gnome 2 so this should work ok with MATE alright... Can you try to see if this works with Gnome-Shell, both with and without the MGSE extensions? |
In progress. I have tested with gnome Classic, Gnome, MATE, and Cinnamon(from login menu), but i'm a bit confused, which one is Gnome-Shell MGSE? (if any). Or should i install anything. Right now all of the mentioned "Desktops" need the fullscreen trick except MATE. However for those that need the trick it doesnt work with a "term Shell" window, and one other application i can't remember right now. It worked with inkscape & firefoxas fullscreen windows (?). |
I have not done the thorough testing you will need, but here are my observations about using Synergy version 1.4.5 on Mint 12 Gnome-Shell, with and without MGSE extensions enabled. (Synergy server is on this machine. Synergy Client 1.4.2 and LMDE on 2nd machine, Synergy Client 1.4.2 and Windows XP on 3rd machine.) With and without MGSE extensions: NOTE: I have not tried this exhaustively with different applications, but in my testing only Nautilus appears to enable Synergy when configured to touch the edge of the screen through which you must move the mouse cursor. I have tried Firefox and Audacity so far. |
Sorry, bullet 4 in the previous post should read |
I just want to +1 this issue. Thankfully I can use Cinnamon on my primary desktop using the maximized window work around because I have Eclipse maximized on this desktop 99.95% of the time. $ cat /etc/lsb-release cinnamon: 1.2.0-2ubuntu1~oneiric BTW: Cinnamon really rocks! Keep up the good work! |
Just to further add to this issue. Synergy works if the screen "exit point" is the cinnamon bar as well. That is, if your mouse pointer is hovering over the cinnamon bar (any mode; traditional, flipped, or classic) during the exit attempt. |
Seems that the latest Ubuntu updated package solves the issue:
Not sure if other fixed or updated packages were involved in solving the problem. |
I am not sure if this is the same issue, but in my case synergyc dies with a segmentation fault when i press a control key (shift, alt, ctrl , etc.). I have synergys (1.3.6) running on ubuntu 11.10 and synergyc (1.3.8) on mint maya with cinnamon. I'll post this in the synergy tracker list as well |
@cognacc Please try latest Cinnamon (http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/955 for example) and close the issue if it's fixed. |
Closing due to inactivity - please see here to see your options, such as trying a newer version, to see if the problem still exists. If so, we can reopen this issue. |
Hi i'm using Synergy to control different PC and laptops with one mouse & keyboard.
It works with MATE desktop, Gnome (MGSCE?).
I have to open an application window then fullsize it, then i can move the cursor to the screen edge, according to my
synergy setup, and control the next laptop/PC.
