Quicksynergy will not connect between two Ubuntu 10.4 machines

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.I set server to share with hostname of client.
2.I set client to use from local ip of server.
3.I click "execute" on server and then client, also have tried the reverse 
order.

I have followed instructional guides to setting up exactly.  It's not 
complicated.  However, there are no results.  It simply does not work.  I 
assume I am missing something but nothing I have found points toward any 
answer. 

I am using Quicksynergy 0.9.0 on two Ubuntu 10.4 machines. Also, one Windows 7 
machine.

The machines are all connected to one router.

I have a similar problem.  Using QuickSynergy 0.9.0 with two Ubuntu 10.10 
machines, I can connect just fine (according to the log), but I can't switch 
screens.

I have two machines using ubuntu 11.04. quick synergy is installed I am 
following the step by step guide filling the correct IP address or name, have 
un-installed and re-installed and still no luck. Maybe it is a "workspace" 
issue? Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks.

I have a similar issue on two ubuntu 11.04 machines. When I first installed the 
newest beta version I got some error, so I went with the most recent supported 
version. Strangely I can set my old computer as the server and my new one as 
the client, but I obviously want it the other way around with my new computer 
as the server.

Hey nimajne, this seems to be a dead issues for any solutions so far; I have 
been searching for any kind of suggestion or solution and can't find anything, 
I did find ome ideas from about 3 years ago but not current and didn't solve 
the problem. So that is when I started asking in forums but up until now there 
have been no replies, nothing. So, I am wondering, is the question or problem 
so simple that I should be able to figure it out,or am I looking in the wrong 
forums or asking the wrong question(s)? Don't know. Hopefully someone that 
knows something will come up with a suggestion. Sure hope so.

Bump- I'm having same problem. Just installed QuickSynergy on Ubuntu Lucid 
(10.4) and, having followed the user guide, I find that when I Execute on both 
machines, they behave as usual-- no mouse sharing.

Okay I asked back in May 2011, now I am using 12.04 and still would like to 
connect using quicksynergy....I wonder is this so basic or simple or what? 
Seems it is still an issue for some. Thanks.

A year or so ago, I spent a lot of time trying to get two 10.04 machines to 
connect and/or one 10.04 and one XP. No luck. Gave up, but in the process I 
think that I determined that it is a port issue. Not understanding that sort of 
think, I could take it no further.

Does that trigger an "aha!" with anyone who might understand port assignments, 
or whatever the correct term is?
