However, it can be successfully installed if that file is removed prior to installation.

sudo rm /usr/share/doc/libfontconfig1/changelog.Debian.gz

 TeamViewer then is installing.

Dear Rain,

Thank you for your post.

You're right, is the correct solution for your error message. It seems like you have a previous trace on your system that conflicts with the package dependencies installation.

When installing TeamViewer 12 on a colleague's notebook with Linux Mint Cinnamon 18.1 64 bit we faced the following issue.

First we downloaded the TeamViewer Ubuntu/Debian 64 bit package (https://download.teamviewer.com/download/teamviewer_i386.deb) and installed it with

$ sudo dpkg -i teamviewer_i386.deb

The installation finished correctly. Then we tried to start it with:

$ teamviewer
Init...
CheckCPU: SSE2 support: yes
XRandRWait: No value set. Using default.
XRandRWait: Started by user.
Checking setup...
Launching TeamViewer ...
Starting network process (no daemon)
terminate called without an active exception
/opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/script/tvw_exec: riga 40:  5167 Annullato               "$TV_BIN_DIR/teamviewerd" -n -f
Network process already started (or error)
Launching TeamViewer GUI ...

Which did not work. So we tried:

$ sudo teamviewer --daemon start

systemctl start teamviewerd.service
Failed to start teamviewerd.service: Unit teamviewerd.service not found.
fail

Apparently the package did not set up the systemd link correctly. After creating it manually, TeamViewer 12 worked like a charm!

$ sudo ln -s /opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/script/teamviewerd.service /etc/systemd/system/teamviewerd.service

I guess that usually the package should be doing it, right?

Dear mdw,

Yes, you're right the package should do that for you.

We are glad that you were able to figure out the issue.

If you have any other question don't hesitate to post.

 

Best. regards,
