Likely you have done so, but just to cover all bases, did you restart X using lightdm. For myself, I actually installed xfce to see if TV would work with a DE installed. Then rebooted (which brought me to lighdm), after logging in (through lightdm) and having xfce load, I started TV and it worked. I then logged out (returned to lightdm) and logged into jwm (the WM in which TV hadn't been working) and TV then worked in jwm as well. Ultimately as long as my X session was launched through lightdm TV worked. If I dropped to console and used startx—TV was back to the behavior I described originally—where no GUI would appear.

Entirely possible you're issue is different, hopefully you'll get some real tech support at some point. Just thought I'd chime in with what (little) I know.

Perhaps this is the same (or closely related to) the issue I was having and posted --here--. The symptoms are the same, with teamviewrd returned via ps. and the same output to terminal that you descirbed.

No GUI would ever materialize. Some details are available in that thread linked, but the issue was eventually resolved by installing lightdm—I assume any display manager would work. You didn't mention anything non-standard regarding your X session, but if you aren't running with the usual Gnome/KDE type of arrangement, you might want to experiment with different session management.

I do use startx to login into my session, but in the meantime i've also tried teamviewer 13 on my other machine (mac pro with fedora 27) and it is the same result. On that machine i have lightdm and gnome3 and same happens there also. And on my system i have installed lightdm and still doesnt work?

dmc_dtc

Apparently you are right, as soon as i rebooted with lightdm enabled it worked. But it is no solution since i cannot use lightdm on both machines, and i cannot believe this is dependency, i would understand in sense of libraries needed, but for teamviewer to work only if lightdm enabled it is incredible for me. Thank you Sir for your reply, but i guess i will have to find some other solution for desktop sharing now.

Oh, I quite agree. It seems like a very odd choice from the developers—though I'll grant it is possible there is some technical limitation that forces it, I cannot imagine what it could be. Still, it's a beta … so hopefully they'll take notice of the feedback here and be able to provide an alternative for us. I'm still hopeful the non-installed tar package will eventually work without lightdm and we'll be able to simply start it up ourselves (or by script) when we want it.

Glad we were able to identify your issue at least.

dmc_dtc

Yes i Agree that identifing the issue is very important here, because i am sure others will have similar problem too, and i am sure teamviewer can work without lightdm/*dm, because version 12 did i suppose TV13 can also be made to work without such dependency... In any case thank you again and hopefully someone from teamviewer will see this post.
