How to disable auto start of Teamviewer GUI when logging on (while Deamon should stay active)

XPloRR

I have installed TeamViewerHost version on my linux machine.

The daemon teamviewerd starts correctly at boot.

But as soon as I log on, the Teamviewer GUI is started and resides on the taskbar (with icon).

That GUI program is: /opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/TeamViewer.

The daemon is: /opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/teamviewerd

If I close the TeamViewer GUI, it keeps starting correctly when I remotely access my linux with a TeamViewer client f.i. Windows.

So there is totally no need to have the TeamViewer GUI always started at login.

So the question is:

• how do I disable the auto startup of the GUI at login (/opt/teamviewer/config/global.conf ?)
• what process is starting this GUI (teamviewerd?)
• the autostart of the GUI should keep starting when remotely accessing my linux, as expected, but only then.

Hi, the same problem since 2-3 days, on Windows.

I'm using v15.50.5 now and I didn't change any setting.

Now it simply starts maximized and I can't have it minimized on tray bar since system startup.

If I turn off auto start, it simply doesn't start up (as it should do).

Turnit it on again, I have it maximized again.

How to solve this issue?

You can use a script like the following that is executed in a loop and runs after each TeamViewer disconnection. You can run this in the background such as a screen.

#!/bin/bash

TV_desktop='/opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/TeamViewer_Desktop' # Check installation directory for this file

tvclient='/opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/TeamViewer' # Check installation directory for this file

pid_desktop=''

for i in {1..1000000}

do

  while [ -z "$pid_desktop" ]

  do

    sleep 5

    pid_desktop=$(ps aux | grep -v grep | grep $TV_desktop | awk '{print $2}')

  done

  while [ ! -z "$pid_desktop" ]

  do

    sleep 5

    pid_desktop=$(ps aux | grep -v grep | grep $TV_desktop | awk '{print $2}')

  done

  pid_client=$(ps aux | grep -v grep | grep -w $tvclient | awk '{print $2}')

  kill -9 $pid_client # Terminates the TeamViewer GUI

  kill -9 $pid_desktop # Closes extra TeamViewer tasks that were not terminated completely

 #  gnome-screensaver-command -l # Automatically locks the screen upon exit

done

For now I just use this (MX) Linux command after each TeamViewer session:

pkill -9 TeamViewer

But it should not stay active in the Linux taskbar

So NO official solutions, from Teamviewer, I see.

Probably they'll solve it with the next update?
