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.
