Synergy: Control multiple computers with a single keyboard and mouse (Youtube)

A year ago I talked about a software that allowed you to share keyboard and mouse with multiple computers. I tried using it but it did not work. Today I have made a video tutorial to see how it works and how comfortable it is...


Synergy on Ubuntu - Raspberry Pi

I have been tested with *Ubuntu*, but it works on *Mac or Windows.*

As you can see, the steps are simple:

  • Install the program on server (computer with keyboard and mouse) and client.

  • Configure the server with the GUI.

  • Run on the Pi: **synergyc --daemon ip_server**

I've noticed it only works with the desktop environment, so you have to type in the console: **startx**

For the lazy, I created for [PiKISS](https://misapuntesde.com/post.php?id=409) a script that install, enable you to choose the server and run it on startup.

**NOTE:** The author now charge for the program but is still free. The nighty builds are available for all platforms. I'll leave the link below, although I installed it on *Ubuntu and Raspberry Pi* from the repository:
