Bug Description
Binary package hint: synergy
Synergy2 is old and buggy, in particular facing problems around the clipboard and typically crashing frequently.
It has not been updated since 2006. However, a small number of forks exist of which the most active appears to be synergy-plus:
http://
There is a Windows installer but it retains cross-platform support in the source, which is trivial to build on Ubuntu following the instructions in their wiki. It retains compatibility with existing configuration files and is a drop-in replacement, but one which is being maintained.
The current version is 1.3.3, which is not a huge step up from 1.3.1 currently in Ubuntu so adopting it now is not a major undertaking.
Therefore Ubuntu should consider replacing synergy 1.3.1 with synergy-plus 1.3.3
