Go to teamviewer-beta for beta/preview releases

(unless teamviewer messes it up again like with 12->13, where 12 was abandoned)

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/teamviewer12/

https://community.teamviewer.com/t5/Linux/uninstalled-tar-package-running-without-display-manager/m-p/32597/highlight/true#M2034

WARNING!

teamviewer 13 requires a desktop environment or login with lightdm etc, with startx it won't work, the staff of teamviewer confirmed, startx feature won't come in this year, it seems reverting back to teamviewer 12 is the only option for startx folks.

since when is KDE a light-weight DE? :-) i was thinking iceWM, i3 or the-likes..

Working perfectly on Antergos kernel 5.0.10-arch1-1-ARCH with KDE Plasma 5.15.4 Just make sure the teamviewer daemon is running before launching the GUI with /usr/bin/teamviewer

Check it with sudo systemctl status teamviewerd dubbelcheck with ps aux | grep teamviewerd

Start it with sudo systemctl start teamviewerd or with /opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/teamviewerd -d

if you're on a light-weight window manager consider using google-chrome + teamviewer app as an alternative to this

Systemd complains about an deprecated path, can you update the unit file? Here's the message:

systemd[1]: /usr/lib/systemd/system/teamviewerd.service:8: PIDFile= references a path below legacy directory /var/run/, updating /var/run/teamviewerd.pid → /run/teamviewerd.pid; please update the unit file accordingly.

I was unable to login using Teamviewer 14: the actual "e-mail" and "password" input fields aren't focusable, you can't even tab to them.

Turns out it was because I still had to enable & start the "teamviewerd" systemd service. After I did that, it started working.

I'm on a relatively fresh Arch install (a week old maybe) and teamviewer crashes immediately when I try to run it. No GUI shows up. I'm using xinit and i3, kernel 5.0.8-arch1-1-ARCH. I have started the teamviewer daemon. I have tried both teamviewer and teamviewer-beta.

Anybody else experience this?

@keybreak Try a different wrapper! Yaourt is old, unmaintained and depreciated.

Please fix it, something is wrong while accessing your package:

yaourt -Si "teamviewer"

/dev/fd/63: line 4: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `)'

Wonder what the hell it have to do with /dev/fd though)

This is still out of date more than a month later. 14.2.2558 is the latest as seen on https://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/linux/ - is there a repo on GitHub or something that takes pull requests? I'd be willing to do the work to try to bring this up to date.

I get this message after starting the service:

/usr/lib/systemd/system/teamviewerd.service:8: PIDFile= references path below legacy directory /var/run/, updating /var/run/teamviewerd.pid → /run/teamviewerd.pid; please update the unit file accordingly.

Please patch the service file.
