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

Tested patch suggested by operating for TeamViewer 15.0.8397 PKGBUILD file here:

https://pastebin.com/w7eLEhKq

For version 15 to work, you have to alter PKGBUILD as so:

prepare() { warning "If the install fails, you need to uninstall previous major version of Teamviewer"

Version 15.0.8397 has been released.

Line 9 in /usr/lib/systemd/system/teamviewerd.service should be changed to PIDFile = /run/teamviewerd.pid in order to stop systemd from complaining about the PIDFile path.

This package generates a broken symlink /usr/share/licenses/teamviewer/LICENSE which points to /opt/teamviewer/License.txt (which doesn't exist). Please fix

In my case it helped to set the DNS server to 1.1.1.1 rather than my router's local ip.

Same problem as supdroid here. Sounds like this issue: https://community.teamviewer.com/t5/Linux/teamviewer-14-no-connection-error-reason-2/td-p/60429

Thanks for the tip with the permissions on the /etc/teamviewer dir! For me it started working again after I also changed permissions on the conf file inside.

Should it be able to run without root? In an ideal world, yes. But there's more going on that the daemon does (including what you've changed) and that's more of an upstream issue than an AUR issue.
