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

I have the same problems. It asks for a proxy even though I am not using one.

pls add line in /usr/share/applications/com.teamviewer.TeamViewer.desktop StartupWMClass=TeamViewer.exe It fixes icon in gnome-shell dock (and possibly unity and cinnamon) https://github.com/jake-phy/WindowIconList/issues/30#issuecomment-156702093

Error: No network connection. Check the proxy settings. I tried to set the default, and then as suggested by @maofree. Both methods give me this error. P.S.: And method by kgizdov also did not help... Maybe need to add some user to some group?

If I download the .tar.xz file from the official page of teamviewer, it is possible to run the program without a daemon. Since I do not trust a proprietary program to run as root on my system (or even as my standard user - I am using a sudo wrapper and a dedicated user instead), I was wondering why this does not seem to be possible with this package.

Hi I've solved the connection error removing all lib32 dependencies leaving only the row of libxtst. The GUI will be opened after 30 seconds bye

This is what I use - https://gist.github.com/kgizdov/e3e73d62bd3b491bdf06a31f04bdee89

You need to enable multilib packages: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/multilib This will get rid of lib32 related dependency errors. No need to modify the package build script or anything. Additionally, teamviewer won't work on wayland! https://community.teamviewer.com/t5/TeamViewer-11/No-connection-to-TeamViewer-server/m-p/720#M199 Make sure that you are not running Wayland, switch to xorg for wine related applications.

Unfortunately this doesn't works for me. I followed your advice and removed lib32- in the PKGBUILD, then uninstalled lib32-libpng12 and lib32-libjpeg6-turbo. Restart and Teamviewer is "Not ready. Please check your connection". Back to the beta again...

@kgizdov +1 to this. I just wanted to add that after editing the PKGBUILD to point to the 64-bit equivalents of the listed dependencies (for those needing instruction, remove "lib32-" from the start of each library listed in the "depends_x86_64" section of the PKGBUILD) and updating TeamViewer with this edited PKGBUILD, yaourt noted that lib32-libpng12 and lib32-libjpeg6-turbo were no longer required by any installed package, so I removed these. After rebooting the system, TeamViewer 12 appears functional. My guess is that the 32-bit versions of libpng12 and libjpeg6-turbo were installed on my system with earlier versions of TeamViewer, but these libraries now clash with TeamViewer 12. As indicated in your namcap output, there appears to be a bit of work with fixing the dependencies in this package.

OK, so this doesn't need the multilib libraries any more. I just edited the PKGBUILD and installed with the 64 bit libs and it runs absolutely fine. Please put the correct dependencies as this might be contributing to a lot of people's problems. Also, if you run namcap on the pkg file you get: teamviewer E: Symlink (usr/share/licenses/teamviewer/LICENSE) points to non-existing /opt/teamviewer/License.txt teamviewer W: Directory (etc/teamviewer) is empty teamviewer W: Directory (var/log/teamviewer12) is empty teamviewer W: Referenced library 'usr/lib32/libXinerama.so.1' is an uninstalled dependency teamviewer W: Referenced library 'usr/lib32/libpng12.so.0' is an uninstalled dependency teamviewer W: Referenced library 'libwine.so.1' is an uninstalled dependency teamviewer W: Referenced library 'usr/lib32/libjpeg.so.62' is an uninstalled dependency teamviewer E: Dependency lib32-qt4 detected and not included (libraries ['usr/lib32/libQtXml.so.4', 'usr/lib32/libQtNetwork.so.4', 'usr/lib32/libQtGui.so.4', 'usr/lib32/libQtDBus.so.4', 'usr/lib32/libQtWebKit.so.4', 'usr/lib32/libQtCore.so.4'] needed in files ['opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/TVGuiDelegate', 'opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/RTlib/libQtNetwork.so.4', 'opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/RTlib/libQtDBus.so.4', 'opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/RTlib/libQtXml.so.4', 'opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/RTlib/plugins/systemtrayicon/libsni-qt.so', 'opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/RTlib/libQtWebKit.so.4', 'opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/RTlib/libQtGui.so.4']) teamviewer W: Dependency included and not needed ('libpng12') teamviewer W: Dependency included and not needed ('libxinerama') teamviewer W: Dependency included and not needed ('libjpeg6-turbo') teamviewer W: Dependency included and not needed ('libxtst') These need to be addressed.
