Incoming connections to Ubuntu 22.04 seems broken in some cases

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I have TeamViewer 15.30.3 installed on Ubuntu 22.04 and I'm not able to connect to it using another computer. However, I'm able to use it to connect to other computers. This is what the log says:

It seems that the two lines with S!! are what caused the trouble. The computer attempting to connect to this machine got stuck on the status "connection" and will finally time out. I did some search but it doesn't seem there is any active discussion relating to the above errors with TeamViewer. Does anyone have any insights on this? Thank you!

No, the idea to remove the teamviewer then install the 15.18.4 won't work for my situation even after reboot. I highly suspect that the line with

caused the problem.

Did you get it solved in the end? Same problem here. Downgrade to 15.18.4 also doesn't do the trick.

rangsiman

It works for me but restarting a computer is needed.

For me, any version before 15.30.3 worked properly. I have tried 15.30.3, 15.31.5 and 15.32.3 :(

teamviewer-host/stable 15.32.3 amd64 [upgradable from: 15.25.5]

teamviewer-host/stable 15.31.5 amd64

teamviewer-host/stable 15.30.3 amd64

teamviewer-host/stable,now 15.25.5 amd64 [installed,upgradable to: 15.32.3]

teamviewer-host/stable 15.20.6 amd64

teamviewer-host/stable 15.10.5 amd64

Has anyone seen any updates on this (I downgrade to 15.18.4 and everything worked but everything current is still broken for incoming connections in my configuration too).

At this point my work around for connecting to Ubuntu 22.04 from a Mac is to use the built in RDP server. I've actually now have to use 3 different screen sharing programs (Mac native screen sharing client which is the only approved option for my work laptop, Mac RDP client to my Ubuntu 22.04 laptop, and Mac TeamViewer client for everything else.)

I mostly use the "free" TeamViewer to support extended family (parents and other non-technical relatives) where a paid commercial solution just isn't an option. Most of those folks are Mac or PC so the existing TeamViewer solution works well. It would be nice if it also worked for my LAN networking sharing between personal machines too... sad to see I may have to migrate back to RDP across the board now that Linux, MAC, and PC all support it.

Something similar has been happening on Fedora 34. When I power on my machine I'm able to login to teamviewer from my phone just fine but if I close the connection and try to start it again then it can't connect. Restarting the teamviewer service wasn't enough to get it to work again because it was leaving other processes running that might be what is triggering the issue (I imagine there's a faulty connection cleanup somewhere). I believe manually killing all processes and starting the teamviewer service again might have caused it to work again but the same would repeat if I close that connection. I simply downgraded to 15.10.5 which was the closest to 15.18.4 available for downgrade in my system and everything is working as expected now.

I've similar case that started to happen some weeks ago

I'm not able to tv to Ubuntu 18.04 x64 LTS from any other PC (incoming connection) - all I see is never ending "Connecting" or "Initialising session" string which timeouts after some time - thats all!

But at the same time I'm able to do tv from within same Ubuntu to any outgoing PC..

the bug appeared in some latest Linux flavour (definitely present in 15.32.3 and some previous builds)

Reboot/restart - nothing hellped out...

Please let me know where could I find logs to share with you so you'll be able to get some clues and fix this blocking issue!

Thank you!

PS Just tried 15.33.7 x64 deb on the same Ubunt 18.04 LTS x64 - same result...

@zwcolin could you hint me please where did you find the tv logs in Ubuntu OS? thanks

Hi all,

I faced the same issue after moving to Ubuntu 22.04 which seems to be non compatible with the latest version of Teamviewer and I temporarily solved it by downgrading as well.

Here is what I have done:

1- Once Teamviewer 15.33 installed, open a terminal and write: "apt-cache showpkg teamviewer"

you will see all the possible previous version to which you can downgrade to (15.18.4 is no more available):

15.33.7 -

15.32.3 -

15.31.5 -

15.30.3 -

15.25.5 -

15.20.6 -

15.10.5 -

15.1.3937 -

14.7.1965 -

14.0.14470 -

13.2.153441 -

12.0.258841 -

11.0.258840 -

Reverse Provides

2 - Downgrade to 15.1.3937 by : "sudo apt-get install teamviewer=15.1.3937" . The higher versions did not work.

3 -try to connect to your Ubuntu from another laptop (mine windows); it worked :)

Thanks again for the support guys!

rangsiman

Agree. In my case trying to connect to a remote machine (Ubuntu 22.04) the latest release of Teamviewer does not work. So I need to downgrade to 15.1.3937 and it works!

EstefanLFC

Confirmed downgrading to that version resolves issues on 22.04 LTS.

MikeDG1

Does downgrading to an older version still work?

Alex_tvu

It's been start of 2024

I'm using now Ubuntu 20.04 LTS x64

and current tv build used is: 15.49.2

but it is still crashing (after session used)!

any ideas why this issue takes so loooooooong?

I've wasted almost 2 days figuring this out and just recently found out to which version to upgrade.

I just sudo apt install and confirmed the "downgrade" when asked by apt.

Cheers

zwcolin

Thank you for the comments. I downgraded the version to 15.18.4 and the same error still appears. I'm not sure if there is another workaround that would fix it.

IgorPevac

I'd like to confirm downgrade to 15.18.4 solves the issue. Required restart in my case.
