Synergy crashing

  1. monnsunina

    Been using Synergy for years, love it. Ever since upgrading to Leopard it's been crashing on me on a regular basis, requiring me to head back into the pref pane and hit "start," and I'm finally getting around to figuring it out. Unfortunately I don't have a clue.

    I've tried deleting it entirely, upgrading, downgrading. Synergy launches on startup, so the only recent relevant thread doesn't do the trick. Currently using freshly installed (not upgraded) 3.5a2. Here's the crash log with the relevant thread crash, any help at all on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    I'd recommend switching to 3.2, which is the last stable release and is basically 100% compatible with Leopard. The issues with the 3.5 alpha release are being tracked here:

    https://wincent.dev/a/support/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=613

    I am getting very close to releasing a new alpha, and there have been [em]lots[/em] of changes, so we'll see if the stability is improved.

    Sorry Wincent, but 3.2 is doing the same thing!!

    I am also getting the same behaviour as the original poster. Tried the betas, and now using 3.2, and it's behaving the same.

    All since Leopard.

    I believe you must be seeing a different issue, then. Can you send me the crash log(s)?

  5. nickt

    sorry to show my ignorance, but how do I find that info?

    Look inside your home folder in the Library/Logs/CrashReporter/ subfolder. You should see files with names like "Synergy_2008-01-08-165147_cuzco.crash", one for each crash. As you can see, they contain the process name, the date/timestamp, and the host name (yours will be different).
