Barrier is a free and open-source solution forked from Synergy.
#CONFIGURE MAC KEYBOARD FOR WINDOWS SYNERGY HOW TO#
(M) Now we will demonstrate how to set up a Mac OS X computer as the server. In the system which has keyboard and mouse, you need to start synergy server service as shown below, which will wait for all client to connect according to configuration file. Mac and Windows and Unix-like systems mix in a lovely cocktail of single keyboard/mouse goodness. Do the same in OS X and we’ll assume the Mac is called myserver.local. To make it clean, you can use single mouse and keyboard to control all the machines via Barrier. For minimum configuration, you need atleast two options such as screens and links. We’ll assume it’s called myclient in this example.
In this example I will make OS X the server and Linux a client.įirst off, find out the hostname of your Ubuntu machine by typing hostname in the shell. You need one machine to run as a server and then you can have a number of clients. What Synergy does is it lets one computers mouse and keyboard control 2 computers over a internet connection.
Synergy is also available for Windows – this how to does not cover Windows although Synergy works pretty much the same (in fact, it’s easier on Windows as there is a GUI to it)įirstly, download Synergy for Linux – you can do this with the command sudo apt-get install synergy in the shell. How to Use Synergy: Synergy is program that I found while reading a PC World article.
