[SOLVED] Teamviewer Openrc

26 May 2018, 05:39:48

I need help, I installed teamviewer and teamviewer-openrc, I also started the service and added to the default level but it does not work.

It just says...

Code: [Select]

Init...
CheckCPU: SSE2 support: yes
Checking setup...
Launching TeamViewer ...
Starting network process (no daemon)
Network process already started (or error)
Launching TeamViewer GUI ...

What I am missing here?

I've been going through the same thing but I only have a workaround not a solution. Despite having the startup assigned to the default run level, after a reboot it doesn't come up. I have to be physically present for a reboot and then after the machine comes up I have to kill all teamviewere pids and then run:

Code: [Select]

sudo /etc/init.d/teamviewer-sysv restart

On the machine I will be connecting to later. Unfortunately I don't remember where it pulled in that rc script and subsequent installs of teamviewer-openrc just creates an /etc/init.d/teamviewer rc script and I haven't had time to diff the 2 but restarting it should change the status in the GUI to "Ready to connect"

I found teamviewerd.sysv. It's in /opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/script. I just copied it to /etc/init.d/ and ran:

Code: [Select]

rc-update add teamviewerd.sysv default

It doesn't work but running /etc/init.d/teamviewerd.sysv restart after I'm at the desktop does make teamviewer run properly again.

Is there another solution than starting teamviewerd.sysv 'manually' (I included it to my KDE startup scripts so it's kind of automatic). I have the same situation as explained above three years ago. Any hints are highly appreciated

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&SeB=nd&K=teamviewer&outdated=&SB=l&SO=d&PP=50&do_Search=Jdi
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/teamviewer-openrc/

but nobody can say, if that will works, because teamviewer IS closed proprietary software... so totally unsupported. So maybe is the psy0nic solution the only possible solution .

edit: Gentoo have newest initd for Teamviewer 15:

sorry, I was just stupid. I was about to try the Gentoo script, so I removed the teamviewerd.sysv from default runlevel. I also delted the copied file and proofing the deletion with ls showed somthing interesting Something created a teamviewer script in /etc/init.d/ I guess it was the teamviewer-openrc package. As I added this script to the default runlevel everything worked fine.
