Hi,

I am writing a book about Unix (Linux / FreeBSD) and my book needs documentation for TeamViewer13 running under Centos 7 (64-bit).

Unfortunately, running TeamViewer does not get me a GUI -- the install went smoothly and teamviewerd daemon is running.

This happens only under Centos. Under Manjaro, the same tarball (teamviewer_13.0.5494_amd64.tar.xz) gets me a nice TeamViewer window. But I need documentation for Centos.

I have tried reinstalling via rpm (teamviewer_13.0.5693.x86_64.rpm), but that does not improve things. With the teamviewer command, I just get "Launching TeamViewer GUI" - but nothing actually happens after that.

Can anyone please help me fix the issue ?

https://download.teamviewer.com/download/linux/teamviewer.x86_64.rpm

That seems to be the CentOS 7 x86_64 version they say SHOULD work (currently version 13.0.6634-0).

After downloading that, I did (as root):

yum install ./teamviewer.x86_64.rpm

It pulled in a bunch of qt5 dependencies.

After install, I ran:

teamviewer

it worked fine.

Hi Johnny,

Thanks for replying.

I seem to be having a very bad day.

I uninstalled the old TV, and installed the version you indicated, but I get nothing at all:

/home/bourne # teamviewer

Init... CheckCPU: SSE2 support: yes Checking setup... Launching TeamViewer ... Launching TeamViewer GUI ... /home/bourne #

I deleted ~/.config/teamviewer* and ~/.local/share/teamviewer*, but still no luck.

Is it possible that this has something to do with Centos 7 running as a vm (under VirtualBox) in my box ? (But then, Manjaro vm works fine).

Tx again. Manish Jain

Do you have a GUI running?

Thanks for replying.

Yes, this is under xfce4.

I had installed the qt5 deps myself via rpm. Since Johnny claims success, the idea I get is perhaps I should let the TV rpm pull in its own deps by itself, rather than being installed beforehand.

Do you think it might be worth for me to recreate the vm and install Qt5 indirectly via TV rpm ?

This is all a bit confounding for the user, but this is the best idea I have.

Thanks & Regards, Manish Jain

Maybe you have a customized $PS1 (or other shell) but with a shell prompt that includes '#', it makes me wonder if you're running this as the logged-into-X user or as root?

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for joining the thread.

I am doing this as a normal user (bourne), logged in with xfce4.

Thanks & Regards, Manish Jain
