Start synergy on boot of Ubuntu 12.04
- by SwimBikeRun
I am having problems getting synergy to start on boot of my Ubuntu 12.04 desktop machine.
I followed the troubleshooting at Start synergy on boot? completely, but I still couldn't get synergy to start on boot up.
I tried running my client starter script manually and here is what resulted:
m@m-o:/etc/synergy$ cat startsynergyc
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/synergyc -n MWin1 3.22.21.145
m@m-o:/etc/synergy$ ll

It appears that synergy is running. This is exactly what is being told to startup with ubuntu assuming I did the lightdm modification correctly. However, I don't see any synergy running, and I certainly can't control the other computer.
Btw, I changed my ip in the log from what it actually is ~ Is this a necessary precaution or are ips local to the network? What does knowing my IP allow someone to do?
