I have been super excited about gOS as of late and installed if finally on my spare machine.  It is snappy and honestly pretty nice.  Anyway, I wanted to get Synergy working and though for a while there it wouldn’t… then I finally got it going.  YEAH!  Here is what I did!

• Click on the desktop anywhere to bring up menu – Run Command
• Type ‘xterm’ to open up a terminal window.
• Install synergy by typing ‘sudo apt-get install synergy’
• Enter your password and let the app install.

Then to run synergy

• Open terminal window (see above)
• Type ‘synergyc [IP address] where the IP address is the IP of the computer you have set up as the server.

Notes:

• The name of the gOS has to be the same as what you have configured it to be on the server set-up.
• To get more options after the install type ‘synergyc -h’ to bring up a help menu.
• To set up the gOS as the server, type ‘synergys -h’ for instructions about how to do this.
