Description of problem: With the update to synergy 2 the entire program structure changed. Because there is no GUI anymore the program needs to be told at the command line which mode to use. There synergy.desktop file contain the command: Exec=synergy-core but this doesn't do this: starting the program this way leads to error: use --client or --server args My guess is that the paid-for version is more convenient to use but for the time being the version included in Fedora isn't. One way around this I can see is that if ~/.synergy.conf exists start the server, otherwise get the parameters for the client somewhere (another file, envvar, …) and start the client. The situation is really ugly. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): synergy-2.0.0-1.fc27.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. make sure you have a client or server configuration 2. add synergy to the auto-started programs 3. log in Actual results: nothing Expected results: bring up as client or server Additional info:
This wouldn't be an issue if somebody hadn't pushed a new, incompatible version to F26 and F27 just to fix a minor packaging bug (Bug 1476515).
