Installation

$ sudo apt install ethtool wakeonlan |
...
Remote PC
Both: Ensure both primary (server) and secondary (client) pc's are aware of each other's hostnames (use /etc/hosts if there is no DNS server)
Server: Create a configuration file (/etc/synergy.conf, ~/.synergy.conf are likely places)
Client: The client side needs no configuration except to be aware of the server's hostname.
Configuration File (Server PC)
| Code Block |
|---|
|
# snorriheim is the server (also recorded in /etc/hosts on the clients)
# snorri-oryx is a client (recorded in /etc/hosts on the server)
# lenevo is another client (recorded in /etc/hosts on the server)
section: screens
lenevo:
snorriheim:
snorri-oryx:
end
# Alisases seem to be oft needed when the hostname is other than
# the alias being used here
section: aliases
lenevo:
91106-DStonier.internal.tri.global
end
section: links
lenevo:
right = snorriheim
snorri-oryx:
left = snorriheim
snorriheim:
left = lenevo
right = snorri-oryx
end

Execution
Execute Server and Client
| Code Block |
|---|
|
# Server
synergys --config /etc/synergy.conf
# Clients
synergyc snorriheim |
Debugging
Execute Server and Client
| Code Block |
|---|
|
# Primary PC
synergys --debug DEBUG --no-daemon --config /etc/synergy.conf
# Secondary PC
synergyc --debug DEBUG snorriheim |
Automation
Create some auto-start scripts and register these in the Autostart section of System Settings as a Script File, run on Startup.
| Info |
|---|
The client side is happy running clients in parallel. I haven't tested parallelising on the server, but that too is probably fine (or there is a smarter way to do so in the configuration?). |
...
BIOS: Enable Wake on Lan(WOL) or Wake On PCI(E).
MAC Address: Get your MAC Address from ipconfig
WOL: Run the following code to enable wol on your interface
| Code Block |
|---|
|
$ sudo ethtool -s enp3s0 wol g |
| Note |
|---|
This only enables it for the next reboot. Either enable it as a startup script or when remotely shutting down (see scripts below). |
