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

Teamviewer service no longer starts and will tell you that the TeamViewer Daemon is not running.

For those on wayland with a core dump on GUI launch, try launching with setting QT_QPA_PLATFORM="" before starting. Worked for me.

From here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/teamviewer13#comment-827962

The original comment suggested, updating the PKGBUILD to include a sed that would automate this. Would that be an option?

The pinned comment https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/teamviewer?O=0#comment-640953 is outdated!

Someone please unpin it and pin this comment instead: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/teamviewer?O=10#comment-868456

This fix makes it work without a graphical session manager (i.e. using only startx / xinitrc).

@gloomy that file is from upstream, and it's still compatible. Feel free to report at https://community.teamviewer.com/English/categories/linux

Minor issue but this package causes recurring warnings in the logs:

/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.

Maintainer can easily fix this by replacing PIDFile = /var/run/teamviewerd.pid with PIDFile = /run/teamviewerd.pid in the service file.

I wonder why https://download.teamviewer.com/download/linux/teamviewer_amd64.deb (the download link on their website), currently redirects us to the 15.37.3 release, instead of redirecting to 15.37.8, which is the latest one...

usuariopolivalen commented on 2023-01-20 04:53 (UTC)

can you control your PC on wayland? Because I can on one PC but not on another...and I think that both are same configured...

schard commented on 2023-01-19 14:29 (UTC)

@TobFromme

Not really. The line

After = network.target network-online.target dbus.service

in the systemd unit should™ delay the start until networking is available already.

<deleted-account> commented on 2023-01-18 19:21 (UTC)

Anyone else have an issue where, if the service is configured for autostart (i.e. systemctl enable teamviewerd), the system is unavailable after a reboot, until the service is restarted again?

It appears it's because the network isn't quite ready. I've had to create a teamviewerd.timer file to delay the start.

I can provide that file, if the maintainers would like to use it.
