TeamViewer root Ubuntu 20.04

Alaknamoknu · August 2021

It doesn't work under the root, it allows me to use it only for 10 seconds, then it stops working, but when i use another user and login thru gui via it it works well.

Why? What is the difference between translating data via root account and regular user's account? Why would you guys put 10 seconds limitation on it?

Log:

Also i tried to start teamviewer service via the regular account, but still, when i connect to the active root session it stops working after 10 seconds.
