TeamViewer 11 won't run on Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit
As first, remove the actually broken Teamviewer installation in a terminal () by:
apt-get purge teamviewer
If this does not want to work you can as well do this with dpkg
:
dpkg -r --force teamviewer
After that make sure you delete any leftovers from your user directory, i.e. ~/.local/share/teamviewer11
, ~/.config/temaviewer
and /etc/teamviewer
:
rm -r ~/.local/share/teamviewer11
rm -r ~/.config/teamviewer
sudo rm -r /etc/teamviewer
Now that this is out of the way, you do an update and an upgrade:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Then install the following packages:
sudo apt-get install libjpeg62:i386 libxinerama1:i386 libxrandr2:i386 libxtst6:i386 ca-certificates
Now download the Teamviewer package from their website (download-link) and install it:
cd ~/Downloads
sudo dpkg -i teamviewer_11.0.57095_i386.deb
After that it should run start normaly. If you not see teamviewer yet in the dash search check /usr/share/applications
directory if the shortcut teamviewer-teamviewer11.desktop
exists. If not create one by
sudoedit teamviewer-teamviewer11.desktop
And pasting (ctrl+shift+v) the following in:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=TeamViewer 11
Comment=TeamViewer Remote Control Application
Exec=/opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/script/teamviewer
Icon=/opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/desktop/teamviewer.png
Type=Application
Categories=Network;
#Categories=Network;RemoteAccess;
It should show up in dash at least after a reboot. Meanwhile you can firstly start your new installed Teamviewer vie the terminal by:
teamviewer &
disown
Now you can lock it at least already onto your launcher if you wish to do so.
I found a "solution":
first I purged teamviewer sudo apt-get purge teamviewer
then deleted ~\.local\share\TeamViewer11
then update ubuntu, reinstall teamviewer, and it works
