The newest version (15.28.6) doesn't work on my Linux Mint installation. I have 15.27.3 on another machine and it is still working fine with the target computer. How can I downgrade to version 15.27.3?
It's my pleasure to help! 😊
I'll be forwarding these extra details to the designated team.
Thanks again for all the time you took to look into this issue as well as the time to write us the information!
We value your feedback!
Best, Carol 👩🏻🦰🌷
Thanks @.Carol.fg. !
One more thing I tried: since I have both 15.24.5 (works with the Wacom pen) and 15.25.5 (does not work with the Wacom pen) here that are quite similar, I also played a little around with these by installing Teamviewer 15.24.5 and then replacing the files in /opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/ one by one with the one from the new version in order to narrow down the problem.
My results:
/opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/RTlib
resources
teamviewer
Therefore, I can safely say the error can be found within the "teamviewer" executable itself (or in the resource file, but I believe this one only contains localised language strings).
I hope this makes the search easier for you.
Oh nice, thanks @FF123456!
We appreciate the time you took to write the post and to get all the information together!
I have forwarded it to the designated team too. 😄
We will keep in touch, have a wonderful day!
@.Carol.fg. Thanks for the update!
I took the time to ask the developer of the Wacom driver some questions, and I managed to obtain some data with the xinput test-xi2 command I would like to share. It seems that in opposite to a mouse / touchpad, the Wacom tablet driver sends out some additional data to the program - could this somehow prevent Teamviewer to recognise the mouse interaction?
xinput test-xi2
This is what a standard mouse / Touchpad click event looks like - the "valuators" section is empty:

A motion event of the Mouse pointer also has more valuators, as you can see in the above example. If you use a mouse, there are just two of them (sorry for the formatting - your forum software did not like me there):

Hi @FF123456 , 😃
Thanks for your post, we're happy to see you again!
Our development team is aware of the issue and they are working on a resolution.
As previously mentioned this process can take some time; therefore, we highly appreciate our users for their patience and understanding during this process. 🙏🏻
We also thank you for the additional details provided! I already forward them to the designated team.
As soon as the issue gets resolved, we will notify all the users in this discussion regarding it.
We will keep in touch!
@.Carol.fg. It has been a while - are there any news you could share?
I found out two new things about this:
Okay, now I finally could borrow a standard mouse and could test this. This is really weird - but I can confirm your finding and your workaround! Thanks!
@.Carol.fg. that might help your development team as we can specify the problem better now: Teamviewer 15.25.5 and up ignore any events (both mouse movements and clicks) sent to them from the Linux driver for graphic tablets. This means a Wacom tablet cannot be used as a mouse replacement in Teamviewer for Linux as I do for the sake of my hand. It works for any other software I tried - but not for Teamviewer. Could you update the ticket you had opened to include this information?
I can also confirm that this applies to the updated driver used in Linux Mint 21 as well.
Dears I have to say that I had a similar issue with 15.33.7.
the UI is just DEAD.
after searching a while I realize that that was my WACOM Tablet (intuos pro pth-451 in my case) . When using the tablet and clicking with the pen it didn´t work at all.
I found a mouse, and manage then to click on the different part of the interfaces.
If would be also user friendly to have the standard shortkeys like ALT+C for connection, ALT+E for Extra, as the menu was not even accessible at first
I was able to replicate the problem on 2x different PC.
Hope this helps someone.
Thanks a lot for the update @.Carol.fg.!
Hello @FF123456 ,
Thanks for your message, I hope you doing well. 😄
Today I contacted our support team regarding this case for updates.
👉 They confirmed to me that the case is still open and under investigation by our development team.
Therefore, we don't have a solution to share just yet.
We appreciate your patience and understanding during this processing time.
Please let us know if you have any further questions.
Best,
Carol
Hi @.Carol.fg. Carol.f , are there any news about the topic? The current teamviewer version 15.32.3 still does not solve the issue - the only change I found was that the last working version 15.24.5 was removed from the "stable" repository which ist not what I had expected. 😒
Thankfully I have a working local backup...
@.Carol.fg. This is good news, thank you very much! If there is anything I can help you your developers with please tell me, I will gladly run any test software and send you its output if that helps.
Hello everybody!
I hope you're all doing well 😊
Just to provide some updates regarding the case:
👉 Thanks to all the data provided we could get more attention to this issue that it's now being investigated by our development team directly. This is great news, but please keep in mind this process can take some time.
In the meantime, if you noticed relevant information, or found a solution, please share it with us in this discussion. 🙏🔔
Thanks again for the contributions, patience, and understanding.

TV 15.30.3 wouldn't let me connect to a Linux Mint 20.3 Una if the screen was locked. Downgrading to 15.18.4 worked - thanks
@cli644 This is a little offtopic here, but please note that you mixed "upgrade" and "downgrade" in your post. By trying the command mentioned above you basically found out that an outdated version of Teamviewer works for you (which you might want to avoid using however due to possible security reasons) while the current one does not.
You might want to create a different thread though instead of hijacking this one since your connection problem does not have anything to do with the topic dicussed here from what I can tell.
I am usually never joining on any forums however
Could not connect from Android device and Windows and other Linux machines to that specific 15.30.3. Either it would get stuck on "Initialising session" from Windows to Linux and just drop the connection without any error message and from Android to Linux it would just hang forever until it times out. No difference weather using TV ID, VPN IP or LAN IP. Any other machines were working properly.
Therefore that sudo apt install teamviewer=15.18.4 solved the critical problem!
sudo apt install teamviewer=15.18.4
Upgrade to 15.18.4 successfully solves the problem that the latest defective downgrade 15.30.3 introduced (or as it appears even few versions before).
Best regards
Thanks for the information @.Carol.fg. !
I have to report though that I already had that setting disabled.
However, while doing so I finally thought about the obvious thing to help you:
This means: I can now safely say that a change that has been made between version 15.24.5 and 15.25.5 causes these mouse problems.
Then, I checked the logfiles:
I have attached the logfiles for version 15.24.5 and 15.25.5 for your convenience als PDF files, with the relevant line in the "Teamviewer15_Logfile" files marked and comments added.
Edit: if you find it helpful, I can provide you with the log files for the other versions I tested as well.
Hello @FF123456,😃
Thanks for the additional information! I appreciate it! 🙌✨
I could gather some information too in the meantime... but nothing concrete just yet...
... Would you mind testing it?
So basically a new feature that was recently implemented had some reports of "connection issues" and "TeamViewer stop responding". The feature is Play computer sounds and music
I wish I could just say for you to open the Options and check if it's marked or not, but since GUI is not clickable, you would need to try downgrading to version 15.18.4 using the command line below → uncheck this feature → update TeamViewer to the newest version again, and check if it's any better.
(for Debian-Ubuntu-Linux mint-Deepin-Raspberry Pi only)
sudo apt install teamviewer-host=15.18.4
Once again I appreciate your kindness and patience during the resolution of this issue. 🌷
Hello @.Carol.fg., thank you for your continued investigation.
In the meantime, I tested the new version 15.30.3 and could narrow down the topic a little. The basic problem (program does not react to mouse interaction) persists, so it is back to 15.21.4 for me.
But I found the following thing: Even if the Teamviewer window seems to be unresponsive, it does work perfectly well - when the program window is active, you can use the keyboard to switch between the GUI elements and e.g. open the menu or type in a partner id. This means that Teamviewer really only fails to catch any mouse click events on Mint 20.3 Cinnamon here.
Maybe this helps a little. If there is something I can do from my side to support your developers, please do not hesitate to contact me.
I also tried to start Teamviewer with Xephyr in a separate X session to check if maybe some Cinnamon settings cause the problem, but failed miserably - Teamviewer seems to happily ignore the DISPLAY environment variable set in the shell and thus starts in the main X session (i.e. my Cinnamon Desktop) nevertheless.
Hello @FF123456 and @CedricGannet ,
Thank you for the additional feedback, and detailed information! 💯
I firstly would like to apologize for any possible misunderstanding on my part.
👉 I attempted to contact our support team once again regarding this issue.
However, my colleagues in the support department could not reproduce the issue reported. They did multiple tests and no issue was found on TeamViewer GUI, connectivity, nor with the remote control. 🤔
💭 At this point, I can only think that it may be a thirds party app (like a bank app), firewall, or antivirus blocking TeamViewer and freezing the GUI... Regarding connectivity issues, it could be caused by a great variety of issues including IPv6 and DNS.
I know you all looking for a solution, and I appreciate every single comment with further details, however, this issue doesn't seem to be affecting all users, so we will need to keep investigating. 🔍
If you get to the bottom of this issue during this time being, I would highly appreciate if you could share the solution with others here in the Community. 🔔🌟
We will keep in touch.
Hello @.Carol.fg. and thanks for the welcome!
LinuxMint 20.3 does not use Wayland, so I can safely exclude that possible reason (I also doublechecked to be 100% sure, my session type is reported as "X11").
Your second hint tells me I might have written my explanation in way that it is misunderstandable - with "starting fine but does not register any mouse interaction at all" I meant that I can start the teamviewer program on my computer and the program window looks perfectly fine, but when I try to do interact with it (i.e. try to click onto anything in the Teamviewer program window with the mouse - menu, "Partner ID" entry field, "Connect" button - in short any GUI elements), nothing happens. This is the behaviour mentioned in the beginning of the thread.
Thus, I am afraid I cannot even open the options menu you showed.
With the other posts here, it seems that the current versions of Teamviewer runs fine on LinuxMint 20.2 but does not run correctly for some reason on Mint 20.3.
I'm Afraid I had the same problem on version 15.29.4. I'm running Linux Mint 20.2 as follows:
-Version-
Kernel : Linux 5.4.0-110-generic (x86_64)
Version : #124-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 14 19:46:19 UTC 2022
C Library : GNU C Library / (Ubuntu GLIBC 2.31-0ubuntu9.9) 2.31
Distribution : Linux Mint 20.2
I had version 15.29.4 installed and it wasn't working as a client in a way very similar to what Gigi183 described. After much investigation, I decided to go back to 15.27.3. Not easy, as I couldn't find a way of downloading the earlier version. Eventually, I googled "teamviewer_15.27.3_amd64.deb" and downloaded it from a mirror (VERY DANGEROUS). I uninstalled and purged the later version and nervously installed the earlier. It worked fine.
I then upgraded back to version 15.29.4 and IT STILL WORKED! There is certainly an issue here but I suspect a clean re-install would have sorted the problem.
Welcome to the TeamViewer Community! 🎉
So if it is "starting fine, but does not register any mouse interaction at all" this sounds a bit different from the previous issue where the connection was not happening.
👉 Do you have Wayland on? Did you try to disable it and use the Xorg?
(TeamViewer v15.29.4 had improvements with Wayland, but there are still a few issues reported.)
👉 Also, please make sure that the configuration on the Advanced Options on both devices (the one that starts the connection, and the one that receives the connection) is set to Full access. Please also consider checking on the TeamViewer toolbar if Disable remote input is not checked.
Let me know how if you need further help 😊
Sorry for reactivating this topic but I fear I have to report the exact same problem on LinuxMint 20.3, but the latest version still does not cure it. Any Teamviewer version higher than 15.21.4 starts fine, but does not register any mouse interaction at all.
Tested with Teamviewer 15.29.4 (both .deb and the tar file and the host), 15.25.5 (.deb file only) and, 15.21.4 (.deb file and host) and 15.16.8 (again, .deb file only). I uninstalled the previous version in all cases but also treid to install 15.21.4 first and then upgrade to 15.29.4. A "sudo apt –fix-missing update" does not find any missing dependencies.

Hello @KMNug53 ,
Thank you for your feedback and for testing it in your system as well! 💯✨
I am grateful the issue got corrected on our side with version 15.29.4.
@Gigi183 you may want to try v15.29.4 as well.
Please let us know if it also corrected the connectivity on our side. 🍀🤞
👉 This new version also had a few improvements for compatibility with Wayland. You can read more about it here:

15.29.4 appears to have resolved the issue. TV on Mint now connects to Windows as expected.
Just to confirm Gigi183's findings.
Mint Kernel: 5.4.0 - 109, TeamViewer 15.28.6, Windows 10 Home 21H2 OS build 19044.1645
With 'Incoming LAN connections' set to 'accept exclusively':
Windows 10 can connect to Mint.
Mint cannot connect to Windows 10 (no error thrown) Clicking 'Connect' yields no response.
With 'Incoming LAN connections' set to 'accept':
Windows 10 can connect to Mint
Mint cannot connect to Windows 10 (error msg: 'Could not connect to partner')
One more for anyone who finds this: do a google search for how to install specific versions of a package. You can find what you need to roll back teamviewrer to 15.27.3 from the command line and then hold it so that it doesn't update.
Ok. Just FYI, you almost certainly have a problem on your end. My office setup is like this:
A Windows machine
A Linux machine running Fedora
A Linux machine running Linux Mint
I use teamviewer, exclusively with LAN connections, to control each computer from the other, though the typical workflow is to target the Windows machine from either the Fedora or Mint machine.
Here's what works: Fedora (15.27.3) can control Mint (15.28.6). Fedora (15.27.3) can control Windows (15.28.4). Mint (15.28.6) cannot connect to anything. I updated Fedora to 15.28.6, and that broke the ability of Fedora to control anything - the exact same problem existed on the Fedora box on 15.28.6 that exited on the Mint box: I click on the connect button and Teamviewer does not respond. There is no indication that the connection is failing. It is simply not getting going.
Then I downgraded every computer to 14 and I'm back to full functionality. I will wait a few update cycles before I try version 15 again.
Hello @Gigi183 ,
Thanks for the additional feedback!
I could not simulate the issue on my side. 🤔
I also verified that our support team did not receive similar cases reporting this issue... Therefore, I'm not to sure why you're having troubles with the GUI on the newest version. (On our website we offer the newest version of any major version which the services are still supported.)
I'm grateful that v14 is working on your system, and I agree with you that it makes sense use it for now.
If I get any new updates about what could be causing you this issue, I will let you know 😉
If in the mean time you get to a solution, please share here with us. This may be of great help for other users 😃🍀
