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

Source: https://community.teamviewer.com/English/discussion/95696/teamviewer-15-stopped-working-on-debian-buster#M4399

to solve the teamviewer gui problem just run the .desktop file gtk-launch /usr/share/applications/teamviewerapi.desktop or run /opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/script/teamviewer

or the last resort, open a gnome, and run the teamviewer

after the first open, you can use the bin teamviewer normaly

when I launch it from terminal, it didn't show any error and didn't run, why

systemd reports:

/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.

Maybe it is something that needs to be reported upstream?

We can add this to package function to force it to use system Qt5. It still works.

@rafaelff: I see, thanks for the clearing up!

Oh, I see; latest PKGBUILD version has qt5-webengine as depends, so issue solved.

@jhossbach: actually your analysis is not correct.

lddtree tool shows us that /opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/TeamViewer is linked to libQt5WebEngineCore.so.5 from /opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/RTlib/qt/lib/libQt5WebEngineCore.so.5, which is not the soname file provided by qt5-webengine package; it is provided in the teamviewer package.

lddtree also shows us that /opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/RTlib/qt/lib/libQt5WebEngineCore.so.5 is linked to libminizip.so.1 from /usr/lib/libminizip.so.1, which is provided by the minizip package:

$ pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libminizip.so.1
/usr/lib/libminizip.so.1 pertence a minizip 1:1.2.11-4

Run pactree teamviewer | less (pactree from pacman-contrib) to see that minizip is not in the package dependency tree.

If minizip is not listed in the package dependency tree neither provided in the package, it is a missing dependency.

'lddtree /opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/TeamViewershows that qt5-webengine depends on/usr/lib/libminizip.so.1, and indeedqt5-webenginehasminizipas a dependency. Sominizipshould already be installed throughqt5-webengine`. I just want to clarify this for anyone interested

readelf from binutils is also a good option, and cleaner than ldd:

readelf -d /opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/TeamViewer | grep NEEDED

Use lddtree from pax-utils for more accurate representation of a dependency tree
