Public bug reported: Binary package hint: synergy
Synergy2 is old and buggy, in particular facing problems around the clipboard and typically crashing frequently. It has not been updated since 2006. However, a small number of forks exist of which the most active appears to be synergy-plus: http://code.google.com/p/synergy-plus/ There is a Windows installer but it retains cross-platform support in the source, which is trivial to build on Ubuntu following the instructions in their wiki. It retains compatibility with existing configuration files and is a drop-in replacement, but one which is being maintained. The current version is 1.3.3, which is not a huge step up from 1.3.1 currently in Ubuntu so adopting it now is not a major undertaking. Therefore Ubuntu should consider replacing synergy 1.3.1 with synergy- plus 1.3.3 ** Affects: synergy (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Migrate to synergy-plus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/385529 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
