cursor is very unresponsive with synergyc in Ubuntu 8.04

[Cliff Brake]

synergy server is running on ubuntu 7.10 machine
works fine with a winXP synergy client
cursor is very slugish on ubuntu 8.04 synergy client -- sometimes stops for long periods of time
keyboard is also slugish

I am as well experiencing significant screen updates on the client synergy. Both machines are running ubuntu hardy 8.04. The desktop is running x86 and the laptop is x86-64. Both have the latest version of synergy from the repositories installed. The delayed response-if there is any response-is so prevalent that it makes the client connected one almost unusable.

I am having the same problem. A workaround that fixes the problem on my machine is to use synergyc as root.

This problem seems to be solved for me with the latest kernel upgrade

[Hannes Koller (hannes-koller)]

Unfortunately the problem still persists after the last update (updated on May 4th) on my machine.

I can confirm that the workaround given by Hannes Koller works. Thanks.

This problem appears to be resolved by enabling hardy-proposed and updating your kernel.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/188226

After that is it still an issue?

No success with any of the suggestions so far...

1. Did an update with hardy-proposed enabled and upgraded my kernel just now and rebooted to the new kernel but it didn't fix the issue.
2. Commented out 127.0.1.1 and still have the issue
3. Started synergyc with sudo and problem still persisted.

Anyone having any success fixing this bug?

[Hannes Koller (hannes-koller)]

I can confirm the solution given by Steven Harms. Enabling hardy-proposed and installing the latest kernel update fixed the problem for me (dont need sudo anymore to start synergyc). Thanks.

Cyberwisdom, it sounds like you may be having other issues, or possibly a network issue. If it persists please open up a new report.
