There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hello all,

I have 3 Debian stable computers with TeamViewer. I am using the .tar.xz version 15.37.3. I start it by runnign ./teamviewer from the shell.

Only 2 of them I can start Teanviewer.

On the third computer I get "Launching TeamViewer GUI ..." and nothing happens.

Can you suggest how to understand the problem ?

Thank you

Joao

I found the solution.

The computers where teanviewer is working are starting with systemctl default set to graphical login.

The computer where teamviewer was not working is starting with multi-user, which does not start the X server.

When I change this computer to start in graphical mode teamviewer works just fine.

Cheers

Joao

I have the same problem, what change did you make exactly? Can you give some advice? Thanks in advance

What I did was to change the default startup mode from text to graphical. I used this command:

systemctl set-default graphical.target

(needs to be run as root or with sudo)

and then rebooted.
