Ubuntu – Problem on installing teamviewer on 16.04 LTS

16.04remote desktopteamviewer

I have a problem on installing teamviewer on 16.04 LTS. I don't know if this problem is just on my PC but I can't install it.

I found this solution:

Download the official image from http://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/linux.aspx (always get 32bit)

Open a console:
cd ~/Downloads/
sudo dpkg -i teamviewer_linux.deb
sudo apt-get -f install  # to install any missing dependencies
Follow whatever steps it needs you to take.

But it doesn't work…

I also tried this:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gdebi
wget http://download.teamviewer.com/download/teamviewer_i386.deb
sudo gdebi teamviewer_linux.deb
sudo dpkg --remove-architecture i386

But this is not working too.

Can anyone help me to install teamviewer, please?

Best Answer

Using sudo apt-get -f install or gdebi may not always solve dependency problem. Instead, run the following command to install all Teamviewer dependencies.

sudo apt-get install libdbus-1-3:i386 libasound2:i386 libexpat1:i386 libfontconfig1:i386 libfreetype6:i386 libjpeg62:i386 libpng12-0:i386 libsm6:i386 libxdamage1:i386 libxext6:i386 libxfixes3:i386 libxinerama1:i386 libxrandr2:i386 libxrender1:i386 libxtst6:i386 zlib1g:i386 libc6:i386

And then you can install teamview with dpkg

sudo dpkg -i teamviewer*.deb

Ubuntu – Can’t install TeamViewer on Ubuntu 12.04

Correct way to install Team viewer

Download Team viewer according to your arc 386/amd64

http://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/linux.aspx

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa -y
sudo apt-get update

You can now double click on team viewer that you have recently downloaded, it will open in software center and click on install

Why need to add wine ppa ?

because Team viewer completely run on wine, so some time it misses the files if you don't have wine ppa added.

Ubuntu – Problem installing CUDA 8 on Ubuntu 16.04 – Missing proc/driver/nvidia folder

After a lot of effort for a new fella on Ubuntu I got it working!!!

@ubfan1 helped me when he said the command lshw -c video the hint I needed to know that I was not running on NVIDIA's driver.

After that I tried to install without success (the secure boot was off). I got this error: The system is running in low-graphics mode” (see this question). Therefore, I boot using the command **Alt+Ctrl+F1* and removed all files from NVIDIA using the command below.

sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-*

With that I could come back to my Desktop, where I could use the System Settings tool from Ubuntu to install the drivers (Software & Updates ->Addtional Drivers->Using NVIDIA binary -version 375.82 from nvidia-375 (open source). See the print:

I reboot the system and everything was installed!!! After that I tested the command ./deviceQuery from the bin inside the samples and the test PASS!

Result = PASS

Lesson learned

Before to install CUDA, make sure all drivers of NVIDIA are running OK! You may install them like @ubfan1 suggest in this link.

Execute the following commands to check if the installation is the default and it is running.

$ cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version

Just to check the secure boot you can run.

$ mokutil --sb-state
SecureBoot enabled
