How to fix?

hi Sylvander
are you using the pet posted here? http://www.mediafire.com/file/7m4gkse7m ... rstart.pet to run it as root

Yes.
I installed both prog's by using the 2 links you gave.
Ran it by using the resulting "Menu->Internet->Teamviewer" entry.

which puppy version are you using?

Slacko-5.3.3.1-SCSI

this is very strange.... on lucid puppy it won't let you start as root, where as on slacko it requires you to be root!

so to start it just click on /usr/bin/teamviewer7

to get the menu entry to work goto /usr/share/applications/ and right click on teamviewer.desktop and open as text

then edit the line 'Exec=teamviewer' to 'Exec=teamviewer7' and save

SUCCESS!

It now runs without any problems.

Thank you Sooo much!

This is important to me because my ISP [Virgin] tech assistance routinely use Teamviewer, normally within Windows [they don't support Linux], but I no longer have Windows installed.
So I'm hoping [next time] to be able to tell them I have teamviewer available within Puppy, and have them agree to go ahead and use it.

hi gents,

my teamviewer on precise puppy 5.4.3 crashed so i upgraded to precise 5.5 live CD and tried to reinstall using these versions of teamviewer, which i succeeded but teamveiwer doesnt work.

when i open usr/bin/teamviewer, it refers to:

LD_PRELOAD=" /usr/lib/libpuppygc.so" teamviewer 7

and i think i need to change from teamviewer 7 to teamviewer?

but i cant because the file is read-only, presumably as I have a live CD session?

can anyone help please?

EDIT: from the console it says:

/usr/bin/teamviewer: line 3: teamviewer 7: command not found

Tannaroo- anything wrong with the advice given here?

i tried using teamviewer 8 but i cant connect between my host computer and remote computer (this linux computer). i read on the teamviewer 8 forums that this is a common problem on teamviewer 8, so i have decided to downgrade back to teamviewer 7 and use the anti-root pet file. but it didnt work for me. so now I am at a loss. any other ideas on using teamviewer 7 or is there a teamviwer 7 sfs anywhere?

hi tannaroo, look in /usr/bin .... is there a file called teamviewer7?

sorry for the late reponse - we had a new addition to the family and its been hectic to say the least!!

anyway, i checked usr/bin and there is a file called teamviewer and not teamviewer7

hi tannaroo ... try the teamvier7 .deb from here http://download.teamviewer.com/download ... _linux.deb i believe it will run as root so you shouldn't need the antiroot pet

I installed that file and it says the package was successfully installed under Utility, but when i go to usr/share/applications - i dont see any Teamviewer application, so dont think it has actually installed Teamviewer.

hi tannaroo,

it hasn't got a menu entry for some reason.... look in /usr/bin , there should be a 'teamviewer7' . use that to start it. you can drag and drop it onto the desktop

Hi.
TeamViewer8 problem in Wary5.5. Packages deb, rpm, tar.gz not works.

The TeamViewer daemon is not running!
Please start the daemon (needs root permissions) before running TeamViewer:
teamviewer --daemon start
If you did not disable the daemon, please contact Teamviewer support. Run the following command to obtain all log files:
teamviewer --ziplog

I was install anti-root next modify /usr/bin/teamviewerantiroot sequence 'teamviewer6' to 'teamviewer' and still the same problem. Permission denied. How to create anti-root crack for Wary for any TeamViewer 8 (next 9,10,...)?

can I upgrade with new one

Pardon me for butting in, but I just read through this whole thread and could not find a description of what Teamviewer is, what it does, what it could be used for, why anyone would want to use it.

The Teamviewer website gives the fullest explanation. But briefly, Teamviewer allows you to easily control a remote computer (linux, windows, or apple) or transfer files to/from a remote computer (full access to the remote filesystem). And the remote computer doesn't have to be on your LAN. Other features as well, like audio or video chat, which make it great for helping someone fix their problems.

The advantage over some other remote desktop software is its ease of use and features. The remote user can simply run a program (no install necessary) for one-time use. Run, give you the password, and you're in. Or it can be installed and run in the background so a remote computer can be accessed at any time. Lots of settings for the level of control allowed (including LAN only).

The newest version (9) is available as pet or sfs here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/puppyst ... eamViewer/
