Crash while using VMWare Workstation 8/9 #3292

Closed nbolton closed 1 week ago

nbolton commented 9 years ago

Imported issue:

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Install Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit with synergys (1.4.10)
  2. Install VMWare workstation 8 or 9
  3. Install synergyc on a Windows 7 64-bit.

Go inside a VM and try to move your mouse to the Windows 7 client. Synergys will crash, see stack trace below:

This looks like a duplicate of #3131

This has been driving me crazy, now I have clients either side of my synergy server.

I posted a patch that fixes the segfaults http://synergy-foss.org/spit/issues/details/3131/?comment#5

Would be good if you can test it.

I have tested this "hack" on the nightly build, but this still results to me in a segfault:

[24565.108581] synergys[12840]: segfault at 40 ip 00007f0a2c847db3 sp 00007fff7edabed0 error 4 in libXi.so.6.1.0[7f0a2c840000+e000]

./synergys --version synergys 1.4.11, protocol version 1.4

I'm reproing this on Ubuntu 18.04 with Synergy 1.10 and latest VMWare Player. It only seems to repro if VMWare is on the edge of the screen that's connected to a Synergy client -- when I try to move off-screen, synergys hits the sigfault.

This issue has been inactive for a while so I'll close it for now. Please let me know if this is still an issue so that I can reopen it.
