Synergy between two Arch systems. Stops working randomly. [SOLVED]
I have two PCs connected with a crossover ethernet cable. I use synergy to control them both (a laptop with two screens, a desktop with one screen).
I use Arch on my laptop and connect the mouse and keyboard to it. I start Synergy on the laptop by starting the daemon (/etc/rc.d/synergys start). When I boot Windows on the desktop, Synergy works just fine. If I use QuickSynergy on the desktop with Arch, the connection will start to randomly cut out. Sometimes after only putting the mouse to the desktop screen once, sometimes after a few minutes of use.
The only way to start it up again is to click Stop and Start on QuickSynergy. It won't usually last very long though before it cuts again.
I figured that an update may have caused the problem, so I've been waiting to see if it would get fixed, but it hasn't so far.
Any other ideas?

I only know of https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/26992 . Have you checked upstream? (a bit silly question because I wouldn't really know how to describe this issue)

I had the bug pointed by karol, reverting from 1.3.8 to 1.3.7 solved the problem.

That was the problem. Downgrading worked.
Thanks very much.
