it just quits

  1. anonymous

    Hi, I've been running Synergy on Panther for quite some time time. Currently, I'm running ver 1.0a2. I notice that Synergy just 'quits' by itself often. For example, last night the last thing I did was use it to pause itunes. This morning, it is no longer in the menu bar ... and when I look at the preferences, it is stopped.

    Has anyone else seen this?

  2. Greg Hurrell

    Yes, some users have reported this to me, although I've not been able to reproduce it locally.

    The weird part is that it sounds like it isn't crashing (no crash log goes into ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/) and there's nothing mentioned in the other system logs.

    If you or anybody else that is seeing this issue can provide more info, let me know!

    Strangely enough, I've been running Synergy for weeks without seeing this problem. But for some reason today, just a couple days after reading this post, I woke up my computer and found Synergy was no longer running. If it happens again I'll look through my logs.

    Actually, I just realised that another program that runs in the background was no longer running when I woke up my computer. I wonder if it's a related problem.

    Thanks for contributing to the thread, Magnetikal... As I haven't seen this problem here it is notoriously difficult to identify the cause, so the more information the better!

    It happens daily on my iMac. If there is anything you'd like me to try, just let me know.

  6. Greg Hurrell

    Well, the problem needs to be isolated, and by that I mean we need to find the exact/specific circumstances in which the problem occurs.

    For example, if you can find a way to make it crash every time (for example, "If iTunes is playing and I put the Mac to sleep, Synergy quits when the machine wakes up") then I will at least be able to narrow down the possible causes and hopefully fix it.

    But as the problem doesn't occur on my test machine (a 1 GHz 12" PowerBook) nor on my other machine at home (a dual-1.25) I really just don't know what might be causing it.

    A-ha! Synergy quite on me and I found an entry in the crash log. Unfortunately I had to dash at the time and when I got back I forgot what I had been doing prior to it crashing so I can't provide any other info. But maybe this log will provide some clues?

    There is a pretty good chance that 1.0a4 fixes this particular crash...
