Q:

Having trouble setting up Synergy (via Quicksynergy)

Synergy is an app that allows two or more computers to share a keyboard and mouse.  I have both Synergy and QuickSynergy (the GUI for synergy) installed from the repositories on two computers. One, my "main" box, is running Ubuntu 11.10.  Sitting above it on a shelf is an older laptop running Lubuntu 11.10.  I have watched a couple of youtube videos which attept to walk one through the setup process but so far I have not found one that can help me. I have the required applications installed on both machines and they are connected via my wireless router.  I need to know exactly what to input (and where) on each machine in order to sync my mouse, keyboard, and clipboard between the two.

A:

Here's a Synergy user guide and a sample configuration file. If you prefer to configure it with a GUI rather than a config file, try the 1.4.5 beta at Synergy's download page.
