2008-04-11 15:16:26 kenden description Binary package hint: synergy Synergy server 1.3.1 on Windows XP (where the keyboard and mouse are) Synergyc client 1.3.1-2ubuntu2 on Ubuntu Hardy beta (kernel 2.6.24-15-generic) VMware Server and server console 1.0.5 build-80187 install on the Ubuntu machine When controlling the Ubuntu machine with the keyboard and mouse of the Windows machine via Synaptic, all works fine. But when controlling a vmware image inside the Ubuntu machine, the Shift and Ctrl keys of the keyboard do not work. And when Caps lock is on, no other key is working. When accessing the vmware image with the keyboard connected directly to the Ubuntu machine, it works fine. The workaround, in this forum, is to no use win2vnc and x11vnc instead of Synaptic: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=539546 This is also reported in the vmware forum: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/110726 And there are two bugs those this on the Synaptic bugtracker on Sourceforge.
