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

@steineklopfer

the permissions solved the issue for me. Thanks.

@afx I used the permissions from buzo's comment (buzo commented on 2019-08-23 12:00) and also applied the same permissions to the file inside that folder.

A "systemctl restart teamviewerd" might also help

Teamviewer shows ready, but no ID and no password is generated :(

I have I3-wm I have a problem with the inactive field of login/psw i found à solution in terminal make sudo teamviewer setup and follow the instruction, next start teamviewer.

Can confirm the same problem as PhotonX: "Not Ready, Please check your connection"

Also, regarding steineklopfer comment, what are the required permissions on /etc/teamviewer dir?

teamviewer15 client will not issue user id unless i restart teamviewerd.service even though that service does start at boot and is active (running).

Tested patch suggested by operating for TeamViewer 15.0.8397 PKGBUILD file here:

For version 15 to work, you have to alter PKGBUILD as so:

prepare() { warning "If the install fails, you need to uninstall previous major version of Teamviewer"

Version 15.0.8397 has been released.

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.
