Stock #Ubuntu 24.04, #Wayland + #GNOME, I get this every time Synergy starts. It's been broken as well even once I allow permissions, but I haven't had the time/energy to look into what's wrong with it. Does anyone know if there is a no-fuss setup guide for Synergy when both client/server are on Wayland but not the same linux distro? Or should I be using some other app other than #Synergy for keyboard/mouse sharing now? I don't have a ton of spare time to "get linuxed" about this, I just need my shit to work because I have things to do.

After *much* struggle, I was able to get Symless' Synergy to work between both macOS and KDE Plasma.

Initially, both machines could not see each other on the network, even with the Firewall port open.

The solution was to fully uninstall Synergy from macOS and reinstall it. Immediately both machines were able to see each other.

Now I can *finally* share one keyboard / mouse between two machines.

tested on: Synergy v3.3.1
