Arch Linux User Repository

As mentioned in @seyn6gk's comment

Without changing anything, since teamviewer 13 a desktop environment/login with display manager like lightdm/sddm/gdm is required.

startx users can follow workaround mentioned in @r7v s comment

Workaround for startx

Create drop-in /etc/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service.d/getty@tty1.service-drop-in.conf with

[Service]
Environment=XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11

@annoyingduck i have xfce installed too. i just added sudo systemctl restart teamviewerd to the autostart apps.

I've given up. I did the recommended permission change, removed every aspect of teamviewer and reinstalled. No matter what, after every boot I have to restart the daemon to get teamviewer to autostart and show credentials, stays stuck on starting teamviewer. Frustrating, because its a computer I update remotely, and if teamviewer needs to manually be triggered everytime, I can never remotely reboot. Running XFCE if that helps on all machines.

The current Linux version (teamviewer 15.1.3937-1) will not connect to TeamViewer QuickSupport on Android devices - and does not give any helpful error message either. It works with the last Windows versions though. Very annoying.

I believe this used to work with TeamViewer 12...

Maintainer should fix file access about /etc/teamviewer long time ago, why hasn't it been repaired until now?

Installed today, still says "Not Ready, Please check your connection".

Resolution is setting "/etc/teamviewer" and its subdirectories permissions to 775 with "chmod 2775 -R /etc/teamviewer.

Obviously the service must be restarted after this modification with "systemctl restart teamviewerd" or any equivalent command.

Please fix the package.

Hi, may you fix the links? This three links give me error: 403 Forbidden.

Hey swiftgeek, let me know if you could a hand keeping this up to date. Happy to be a contributor if it would help. Jay.

fresh install of teamviewer_15, using i3wm.

starting teamviewer: Launching TeamViewer GUI ... no GUI is started, ID is 0

teamviewer info: Try restarting the TeamViewer daemon (e.g. teamviewer --daemon restart)

did sudo systemctl enable teamviewerd and start and restart a few times, nothing. teamviewerd is active and running but teamviewer doesn't recognize it. did not change the permissons yet, this should be done by the package?

Furthermore: "ngoonee 2019-11-08 08:11
This package generates a broken symlink /usr/share/licenses/teamviewer/LICENSE which points to /opt/teamviewer/License.txt (which doesn't exist). Please fix"

for me still "broken"

"ferda 2019-11-09 15:13 Line 9 in /usr/lib/systemd/system/teamviewerd.service should be changed to PIDFile = /run/teamviewerd.pid in order to stop systemd from complaining about the PIDFile path."

for me PIDFile = /var/run/teamviewerd.pid and /var/run points to /run so should be ok?

Can you please adress this in a small package update? Thanks

Hi

Permanent solution: sudo systemctl enable teamviewerd

reboot

@callmejoe

I can confirm that restarting teamviewerd worked. I think that tip should be pinned @swiftgeek
