I’m trying to install the latest Teamviewer host X86 64bit .deb package on a VPS with 2 X86 cores running a fresh install of Ubuntu Xenial. I managed to do this on other devices but this time I’m failing and I don’t see what I’m doing wrong. The steps I use are:
adduser USER
sudo adduser USER sudo
su user
cd
sudo apt-get update
wget https://download.teamviewer.com/download/linux/teamviewer-host_amd64.deb
sudo apt install ./teamviewer-host_amd64.deb
sudo teamviewer setup
but then I get the following output:
TeamViewer daemon is not running, setup cannot continue.Please activate the TeamViewer daemon before invoking setup.
When I use netstat -tulpn the daemon appears to be running:
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name

tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:5939 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2661/teamviewerd
I also tried sudo teamviewer --daemon restart and sudo teamviewer --daemon enable but it makes no difference. Any suggestions?
