issues with Ubuntu 18.04LTS

TV_user2

you had it working perfectly but the latest update is breaking on my PCs....

to reproduce:
clean install
install teamviewer
connect.....

it won't connect, it just sits saying "connecting" then times out.

if you use "teamviewer info" it mentions that the permissions for the global.conf are incorrect, the version before this just needed a chmod 777 on that file to get it working, with this new version it never works.

it was 100%

restart teamviewerd gives:
