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

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This is still out of date more than a month later. 14.2.2558 is the latest as seen on https://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/linux/ - is there a repo on GitHub or something that takes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.
