Synergy

Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net

Description:

Plasma Widget using RubyKDE/RubyQt to manage a Synergy connection.

http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/
Synergy lets you easily share a single mouse and keyboard between multiple computers with different operating systems, each with its own display, without special hardware. It's intended for users with multiple computers on their desk since each system uses its own monitor(s).

Currently the widget implements basic server and client functionality for basic Synergy setups.

You'll need to have synergy, KDE 4's Ruby bindings as well as Plasma compiled with Ruby support in order to use this widget.

On Kubuntu the command
[quote]sudo apt-get install ruby-kde4 synergy[/quote]
should do the trick.

Hi. under Kubuntu Maverick it does not work, failed dependencies.
there ist no ruby-kde4 package in Ubuntu, nor does installing plasma-scriptengine-ruby inclusive its dependencies help.

what else so you need?

This is very useful indeed, and so far is working for me flawlessly.

Any idea if/when it may get packaged for kubuntu?

It won't get packaged for Kubuntu, at least not by me.

I do not find packages of scripting plasmoids very useful, since essentially Plasma implements its own version management and update stuff system, so having it in apt would just duplicate what is already built into plasma anyway.

Hi,

This doesn't seem to work for me any more following an upgrade to KDE 4.5. Is there a new dependency that I need to bring in?

Also: I'm intrigued. How does plasma handle auto-updating widgets? I don't remember seeing anything about that anywhere.

Thanks!
