Synergy

[aimstolemylife]

Ok guys, I installed synergy..(RPM) and I cannot find where the file to launch the program is...where does linux store these things?!

[jasonlambert]

running "synergys" (for server) or "synergyc" (for client)? (as per documentation..: http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/doc-user.html)

Where it is stored depends on where the RPM was setup to install it, /usr/bin/ is normally a good bet.

EDIT:

i run synergyc -f Dan

and i get "Segmemtation Error"

?

forget double click, you need to run a command - and specify a server name..

Step 4 - Start the clients (Unix/Linux)

To start a client, enter the following:

synergyc -f server-host-name

where server-host-name is replaced by the name of the computer running the synergy server.

The client should immediately report a successful connection or an error. If an error occurs you'll get a dialog box telling you synergy is about to quit; read the log messages to determine the problem then correct it and run the client again. When successful you should be able to move the mouse off the appropriate edge of your server's screen and have it appear on the client's screen. Use the mouse and keyboard normally except use the edge of the screens to jump to other screens. You can also cut-and-paste across computers. Currently, only text transfers between computers. Start the remaining clients.

I got it working guys. I do have a new problem though (sorry )

Obviously I'm running Mandrake. (10.0 Official) How do I log in as root?! I have no idea. And when I edit smb.conf I can't save it because I don't have permissions. Can I open it w/ permissions from command line? Anything? Thanks fella's!

Open a terminal and type su. Then enter your root password.

Then open the samba config file with command below:

vi /etc/samba/smb.conf

Edit what you need to. Then to quit and write to the file. Press ESC then colon then wq!. You will notice the input at the bottom left of the terminal screen. It should look like this:

:wq!

Then press enter.
