*bump* Please provide a Raspi build or sources that can be built to work with a current server. I hope this helps someone and that someone can learn from my mistakes ^^ My pi is just name raspberrypi and I accidentally put something else for the screen name Mine had " WARNING: unrecognised client name "raspberrypi", check server config " Make sure that the screen name is set to 'raspberrypi' OR whatever name the Log is saying is not unrecognized and those last 4 lines keep repeating.Ĭlick on 'Configure Server' and pick the 'Screens and links' tab NOTE: client "raspberrypi" has disconnected NOTE: disconnecting client "raspberrypi" WARNING: unrecognised client name "raspberrypi", check server config NOTE: started server, waiting for clients If you keep getting something that looks like this. Your IP and Port number will be different. Go to the directory you have synergy compiled at. There should be an option labeled "Port:" with a number next to it On the sever (I'm using the window's GUI) the port number can be seen and changed under the menus at the top left Just check to make sure you didn't leave it out like I did This is for when you get to " " in the installation guide or if you start it manually. When you type the IP address (say 192.168.1.123) make sure you add the port number onto it that your server is set to listen on (say 192.168.1.123:32123) Problem 2 if your sure problem 1 isn't it, you may of forgot to add the port number This is also your choice and your responsible for your computer, and not me.)
(Do be careful when doing this, as turning of your security software is not something I usually recommend. If it did resolve the issue, make appropriate changes and rule exceptions for synergy on your security software and firewalls. You'll want to turn your firewall and antivirus back on after this test. Simple test to see if this is the issue for you, is for a BRIEF moment, just turning off all anti-virus and firewalls on your computer, and see if the program Synergy can connect the your computer to the Raspberry Pi and just work (like just basic mouse function going between the different screens/computers).
On my windows machine, I found that my Antivirus was blocking the program and my firewall was blocking connection. Problem 1 If synergy is not connecting what-so-ever, it might be your firewall blocking These are just problems I came across, how I diagnosed them, and how I fixed them. However, I made A LOT of stupid mistakes and ran into issues, that looking back, I should of figured out earlier.
The best and most current as of now, that I have been able to find, is this wiki (Install Synergy Raspberry Pi 3 - January 2017):
I bought Synergy from Symless to use on my Windows 10 laptop, and my Raspberry Pi.įor the Raspberry Pi, I have tried many tutorials on how to build it from the source code and such.
