TeamViewer Host Raspberry Pi 3 does not start

So, I installed TeamViewer host for Raspberry Pi 2 / 3 on my RPi 3 this morning, but whenever I click it to start, nothing happens.

Really, I left it on for 10-15 minutes after clicking (multiple times), but nothing happened. Any idea why this could be?

Yours sincererly,

Sjouke

Dear DevCas1,

Thank you for your post.

To be able to diagnose your issue we need a little bit more information.

Is it possible to send us the output of the following commands?

cd /tmp
cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep Revision | tee info.log
cat /etc/os-release | tee -a info.log
cat /etc/*version | tee -a info.log
teamviewer info | tee -a info.log
cat /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service | tee -a info.log

These commands will be output on your screen and the file located in /tmp/info.log

We are looking forward to your comments.

Have a great day!

Best Regards,

Christian

Dear Christian,

My apologies for not replying earlier, school and work have taken more of my time than I initially expected, and have not yet returned to work on my Raspberry...

Anyway, as answer to the following commands:

cd /temp $ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep Revision | tee info.log =
"Revision : a02082"

cat /etc/os-release | tee -a info.log =

SUPPORT_UrL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianForums"
BUG_REPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianBugs"

cat /etc/(version | tee -a info.log =
8.0

teamviewer info | tee -a info.log =

Did you find solution for this?

If yes then please post the solution, I am currently facing this issue.

DevCas1

Sadly, I have been unable to try further to resolve the issue. The Raspberry Pi 3 I had was my education's Raspberry, and had it for a short time to play around with. Sorry

kleyton

same problem here... any tip ?

Blackeaglece

Please, has anyone found the solution? I have the same problem.

So, someone said it had to do with multiple screens. I dont think so, because on your main screen you see the open programs. And TV is not open. The command (is that what it is called?) says what people are saying ("Launching Teamviewer GUI") but nothing happens. So, anyone at TV able to help? This post is years old, and still the same problem.

Hi. I had this issue. I found out that when I remote desktop connection to the raspberry pi 3 and try to open Teamviewer Host I have the same problem as you. But I found out that what in reality happens is that teamviewer opens on the main session, that is, the one that I can see if I plug in a monitor display to the RPI3 (I'm not really sure if I'm describing it well, but what remote desktop connection seems to do is open a new session) So try logging in to that main session and see what happens, it should work there. Hope this helps.
