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

YOU NEED to enable the teamviewerd.service and then reboot your computer!!! Starting the service won't work for some reason, you must enable it and reboot. This is important!!!

sudo systemctl enable teamviewerd #end then reboot

Teamviewer said not ready until I logged into the website and added my machine as a trusted device. Then it allowed me to login to the application which made me add my device again as a trusted device. It took a while to figure this out so created an account here to help anyone who have this issue.

@ ArthurBorsboom repackage it with patch to correct teamviewerd.service

Hi, gui launches ok but cannot focus on any text field / button. Program running but cant do much. Thanks

systemd[1]: /usr/lib/systemd/system/teamviewerd.service:9: PIDFile= references a path below legacy directory /var/run/, updating /var/run/teamviewerd.pid → /run/teamviewerd.pid; please update the unit file accordingly.

Hi, install this version teamviewer 15.3.2682-1, but when you want to select the text box to login I can't do it, it doesn't allow me to enter the focus of the text box, what is this about?

Solved, it was the service that didn't start it before: V

Stuck on "teamviewer is starting please wait...". It used to work properly.

@swiftgeek I created a patch:

https://direc.kapsi.fi/owncloud/s/xKFLyXa5UpRX6jT

It contains update for 15.3, update script for easier maintenance, better handling of teamviewerd.service and other, minor changes. Please have a look. Thanks!

If Teamviewr write to you "Not ready. Please check your connection" close it, go to terminal and write this: sudo teamviewer --daemon enable And then run teamviewer. It will be work.

For me at least, a simple version bump was needed for 15.2.2756 (with only amd64 tested, but all .deb files download OK at least). I could push the changes, but I'm not a maintainer. Would you like to perhaps add me? Thanks.
