Help getting Synergy to work

Hi!

The problem:

I cannot get Synergy to work.

I have tried to do it by command like and I didn't git errors but It just doesn't not work!

the file I use in the Server (the one with the mouth and keyboard to use)

Code:

# Generated by Peter the manager

section: screens



SERVER:

switchCorners = none

switchCornerSize = 0

CLIENT:

switchCorners = none

switchCornerSize = 0

        end

section: links



SERVER:

right = CLIENT

CLIENT:

left = SERVER

end

I have replaced the mane CLIENT and SERVER for their names as you see then on the network respectably.

After than I did it with quicksynergy which supposed to be GUI app for the same. But no result.

I am trying to do this in two Ubuntu machine which should be the same but I have notice that one is running 1.4 and the otherone 1.3. QuickSynergy are the same in both 0.9 But in one open a 1.4 version and the otherone is one totally different as far as I know I have installed the same way! Very strange! Right?

1st client and server must be same version
here is my config synergys -f on ubuntu pc(main) and autorun on windows client(satellite,disable password login+uac)

Code:

sunnydrake@main:~$ cat .synergy.conf 

section: screens

main:

satellite:

end

section: aliases

main:

192.168.0.1

satellite:

192.168.0.38

end

section: links

satellite:

left = main

main:

left = satellite

end

section: options

screenSaverSync = false

relativeMouseMoves = true

# My KVM uses Scroll Lock to switch screens, so set the

# hotkey to lock the cursor to the screen to something else

keystroke(f12) = lockCursorToScreen(toggle)

end

i have doubts about channel encryption in synergy so i would not advise to use it over untrusted networks.

Thanks! Now its working

Un-install everything on the old version,download the 1.4 version from their website and then install QSynergy from Synaptic, it bring the new version, gave the host name and run. Update the other files with alias IPs and run and its working, Thanks again!
