TeamViewer used to work great; how do I fix: Launching TeamViewer GUI ... Aborted (core dumped)?

travishardiman · 2022-07-30T18:59:43+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I'm running Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS jammy, and TeamViewer used to work great but I haven't been able to get it to launch the past few times I've tried and I'm not sure what's going on. I just tried downloading the latest deb but no luck.

Hello @travishardiman,

Welcome to the TeamViewer Community and thank you for providing the information! 🎉

Please go ahead and follow these steps:

Edit the custom.conf file which is located in /etc/gdm3 (Ubuntu)
Uncomment WaylandEnable=false by deleting the # at the beginning of the line
Reboot the VNC Server computer

Uninstall and then install by using these commands:

sudo apt purge teamviewer
wget https://download.teamviewer.com/download/linux/teamviewer_amd64.deb (this can vary based on the package)
sudo apt install ./teamviewer_amd64.deb
sudo teamviewer setup

Try to follow these steps and let us know if the installation worked now.

Best,

Justin

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, per the gui.log:

Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "wayland" in ""
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: xcb.

@Justin

Please go ahead and follow these steps:

Edit the custom.conf file which is located in /etc/gdm3 (Ubuntu)

Uncomment WaylandEnable=false by deleting the # at the beginning of the line

Reboot the VNC Server computer

I use Wayland for other apps and fractional scaling on my device, so I can't disable it.

I tried this:

sudo apt purge teamviewer

wget https://download.teamviewer.com/download/linux/teamviewer_amd64.deb (this can vary based on the package)

sudo apt install ./teamviewer_amd64.deb

sudo teamviewer setup

I have the same issue. TeamViewer used to run fine, but as of late whenever I try to launch the app, it crashes to the desktop. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Teamviewer, but the app keeps crashing to the desktop. I'm on Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS (Focal Fossa) (64 bit).

Terminal output:

I don't know if it's any help, but my issue resolved itself. After rebooting my computer, TeamViewer works again. I don't know what happened and how it fixed itself. Can't find anything in the log files nor in the terminal output. No more Aborted (core dumped), maybe something crashed in the background (X11)? Well, I'm happy it's working again, because TeamViewer is an essential tool for me.
