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

To launch teamviewer one needs to start the teamviewer daemon by sudo systemctl enable --now teamviewerd before.

Works perfectly under KDE Plasma/Wayland.

Thanks swiftgeek for him teamviewer 15.71.4-1 stable package!!!

When are we switching to the standard qt (QT6)? qt5-webengine is already only on AUR.

I installed it via paru (use your favorite helper or compile with makepkg), then I did this procedure and it worked (I use Wayland):

cp -av "/opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/desktop/com.teamviewer.TeamViewer.desktop" "$HOME/.local/share/applications/"
sed -i 's/Exec=/Exec=env QT_QPA_PLATFORM="" /' "$HOME/.local/share/applications/com.teamviewer.TeamViewer.desktop"
sudo systemctl start teamviewerd
sudo systemctl enable teamviewerd
systemctl status teamviewerd

What am I doing wrong with this every dang time I try to use it. teamviewerd daemon is running but 'teamviewer' only show this and nothing happens.

Init...
CheckCPU: SSE2 support: yes
Checking setup...
Launching TeamViewer ...
Launching TeamViewer GUI ...

also checked that no process of 'teamviewer' exist, only teamviewerd. Tried this about a year ago and same thing so it gotta be me!!

Also tried @r7v trick-fix but nothing.

(again...uninstalled it)

Trying to connect to my host Wayland KDE desktop with the web Teamviewer on Firefox the process Teamviewer_Desktop on the host system just immediately segfaults while the GUI remains working. Are there any workarounds or am I missing something? Edit: Nvm, forgot to reboot my host pc after installing, now it works flawlessly.

Careful, the latest update broke my system. I solved it by booting from a live usb, chrooting into my system and installing dbus-daemon-units. Then you can remove this package and reinstall dbus-broker-units.

Teamviewer service no longer starts and will tell you that the TeamViewer Daemon is not running.

For those on wayland with a core dump on GUI launch, try launching with setting QT_QPA_PLATFORM="" before starting. Worked for me.

The original comment suggested, updating the PKGBUILD to include a sed that would automate this. Would that be an option?
