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

@annoyingduck, pw for sudo. i see. i forgot i edited my sudoers file so no pw needed for sudo. yes we do need a fix for this i agree

@callmejoe the startup command you wrote to initiate at boot would require your root password to be entered. Has nothing to do with teamviewer itself. Hence, not a viable option if attempting to reboot via teamviewer. I'll still have no access because the daemon needs to be manually restarted via sudo. We need a solution for why the daemon needs a manual refire on every boot.

@annoyingduck, manual password? i dont ever have to enter one. i assigned all my devices to my TV account. i have all devices set up with the grant easy access option checked.

also, i've noticed checking "start tv with system" causes problems for me. probably more of a Windows option.

@callmejoe, good thought, but that still invokes a manual password which can't be entered remotely because teamviewer cannot be accessed.

@annoyingduck i have xfce installed too. i just added sudo systemctl restart teamviewerd to the autostart apps.

I've given up. I did the recommended permission change, removed every aspect of teamviewer and reinstalled. No matter what, after every boot I have to restart the daemon to get teamviewer to autostart and show credentials, stays stuck on starting teamviewer. Frustrating, because its a computer I update remotely, and if teamviewer needs to manually be triggered everytime, I can never remotely reboot. Running XFCE if that helps on all machines.

The current Linux version (teamviewer 15.1.3937-1) will not connect to TeamViewer QuickSupport on Android devices - and does not give any helpful error message either. It works with the last Windows versions though. Very annoying.

I believe this used to work with TeamViewer 12...

Maintainer should fix file access about /etc/teamviewer long time ago, why hasn't it been repaired until now?

Installed today, still says "Not Ready, Please check your connection".

Resolution is setting "/etc/teamviewer" and its subdirectories permissions to 775 with "chmod 2775 -R /etc/teamviewer.

Obviously the service must be restarted after this modification with "systemctl restart teamviewerd" or any equivalent command.

Please fix the package.

Hi, may you fix the links? This three links give me error: 403 Forbidden.
