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

@irvin700 @Strit thanks. I finally have a workaround... I installed multilib/lib32-freetype2 (which is 2.8, in multilib-testing it's in 2.8.1) and install multilib/wine-staging-nine (which is 2.16 for now). Let's see if upstream fix it soon.

Strit you fixed it!! Both the AUR and all-in-one tar versions work now. This is what what I did: [2017-09-29 10:28] [ALPM] downgraded lib32-freetype2 (2.8.1-1 -> 2.7.1-2) [2017-09-29 10:28] [ALPM] downgraded wine (2.17-1 -> 2.16-1) EDIT: I went ahead and upgraded wine to 2.18 and it seems to be working so far. lib32-freetype2 is the only version I retained at 2.7.1-2

I've heard that freetype2 2.8.1 results in teamviewer not launching. Did you guys try downgrading that one to 2.8? Wine 2.17 has the same issue.

irvin700, I did a similar thing to you regarding the dependencies and still no GUI. Before that everything seemed to work correctly. I do not think it is display manager related as I have a standard xfce4 installation with xfwm.

This no longer starts up, no GUI. I tried downgrading all the dependencies but to no avail. Maybe I didn't get them all? Also, I also downloaded the all-in-one tar file from the official website, same thing! I wonder if it's display manager related, I use sddm.

I have the same issue as dml. I thought it would be because of an update in fontconfig and lib32-fontconfig, but rolling them back from 2.12.6-1 to 2.12.5-1 did not solve the issue. How are we about to proceed? Which logs/other information would be needed to debug the issues? Thanks!

Teamviewer v13.x for linux is not available yet (only as beta/preview so far). host-only preview package is available on site but this aur package is not for that.

I can't have branch other than master on AUR for beta/preview releases so use teamviewer-beta etc for that

armv7h is only available as teamviewer_host for time being (hopefully it will appear before preview/beta ends)

@pschichtel But it's not correct for users than want stop daemon after using. Something like as: systemctl status teamviewerd running=$? if [[ $running != 0 ]] then sudo systemctl start teamviewerd && /opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/script/teamviewer && sudo systemctl stop teamviewerd else /opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/script/teamviewer fi
