No connection to TeamViewer server

I'm using Fedora Linux, and successfully installed teamviewer_11.0.67687.i686.rpm. But I'm getting a dialog "No connection to TeamViewer server. Please check your internet connection. Most likely you use a proxy server and you have to enter the proper information in the options dialog."

$ sudo systemctl status teamviewerd.service
[sudo] password for chris:

I've also stopped firewalld just to test if it's the firewall. And there are no SELinux AVC messages. So I can't figure out why it can't connect to TeamViewer servers. On a Mac, on this same wireless network, I don't have this problem.

  • I have the same problem with new fedora 25. Try to install newer teamviewer 12 beta, but result is the same. Did you find any solution?

  • Hi,

    I've just installed Fedora 25 and Teamviewer 11.0.67687 (wine-1.6) and I always get the message:

        Not ready. Please check your connection.

    Here is a part of /var/log/teamviewer11/cassou/gui.log that might be related. Can someone please help me?

    Hi,

    Can you provide us with the following information regarding this problem:

    1. How did you install TeamViewer on the system (softwarecenter or terminal?) and which version are you using?

    2. Which display manager is installed on the system?

    Thank you in advanced!

  • Hi
    1. I tried to install teamviewer through software center, but it said "File is not supported", so I try through terminal and I succeeded. But it can't connect.
    2. I use gnome 3.22 and nautilus.

  • I found more info about the problem.

    If you login with gnome Xorg, you can use teamviewer without problem, but if you use wayland, teamviewer cant connect to server.

     

  • > 1. How did you install TeamViewer on the system (softwarecenter or terminal?) and which version are you using?

    dnf install -y https://download.teamviewer.com/download/teamviewer.i686.rpm

    > 2. Which display manager is installed on the system?

    The default one on Fedora 25: Gnome 3.22 + Wayland

    Hi all,

    we talked to our development regarding this.

    It happens when you do an autoupdate form Fedora24 to Fedora25 - this is a bug in our current version. We are already working on it and I will inform you when we have fixed it.

    We apologize for the inconvenience.

  • I didn't do any update from F24 to F25. I erased my hard disk and installed F25 from scratch on a blank disk.

    hello

    I have the same problem. Is there any news on this issue.
    After switching to Xorg teamviewer work normally , but i want to use wayland .

    Best regards,

    Yep, it's a Wayland issue. My expectation is Teamviewer could work as a client (see someone else's screen) using XWayland pretty easily, but there's probably substantially more work getting it to work as a server/host (to share my screen with someone else). Since there aren't separate client server programs, I think we just have to fallback to XOrg for now.

    Hi all.  30.12.2016. I´d like to post my experience too.

    Clean, default install of Fedora 25 x64 and Teamviewer 12 .rpm via Software Installer.

    The same problem.  " TeamViewer is not rady. Check your connection."  Anyway, Thank you for your work. We have to wait a little.

  • Hi Soeren, 

    thanks for the idea with the workarround installing the tarball, works with Fedora 25!

    Kind regards,

    Cornelius

  • Hello, you guys who got it working with the tarball, are you using wayland, and may you be using amd or nvidia drivers that have pushed you back to xorg?

  • m4b0

    I'm using wayland and I'm confirming that TeamViewer is working using the tar.xz file.

  • Thank you for the fast reply.

    I didn't get it to work for me in wayland even with the tarball, but it works in Xorg so it can't be a firewall problem etc..

    But anyway I'm probably going to use Xorg for the time being, since I want the proprietary nvidia drivers anyway, but it would be awesome if wayland would get fully and officially supported :)

    Hi all,

    I'm using the tarball with wayland.

    I've a Laptop with two graphic cards (Intel and Nvidia) so I'm using the graphic card of the Intel CPU without special drivers.

    Kind regards,
    Soeren

  • On Fedora 25 using wayland;

    Getting the same problem but as mentioned by earlier thread: launching the teamviewer from tar file works with no problems.

  • Hello!

    This is also happening to me in openSUSE 13.2. I'm not using Wayland (although there are some libwayland libraries installed), I'm use KDE 4.14 with Xorg. The tarball works fine. I think this issue started after updating to TV12

    Regards...

  • I'm on Fedora 25 and Wayland (I double-checked by typing Alt+F2 and 'r' to get the message "Restart is not available on Wayland").

    I managed to install Teamview, run it and even connect to a friend's computer to see his screen. Nevertheless, my friend (running macOS) has only been able to see my screen as a *big black rectangle* instead of my windows. He could move the mouse and type though.

    It doesn't work for me, also Fedora 25.

    $ ./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)
    /home/xxxx/Downloads/teamviewer_12.0.71510_i386/teamviewer/tv_bin/teamviewerd: error while loading shared libraries: libdbus-1.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    Network process already started (or error)
    Launching TeamViewer GUI ...

    Then, have a small window pops out shows error and black content.

  • Have you tried switching from Gnome (default) to Gnome on Xorg?
    You can select one of them on login screen ( You'll see gear icon ).

  • Hi there, I am on Arch Linux, also using TV12 on Gnome with Wayland, same issue! Any Idea on when to expect a fix? It really bugs me...

  • "I didn't do any update from F24 to F25. I erased my hard disk and installed F25 from scratch on a blank disk." As i did. Then I installed separatly the "KDE Plasma Desktop". Same no conection errors.

  • Fresh Install Fedora 25, Fresh install TV12. Also getting the error message.

    TV11 also giving error message.

    I was able to get the tarball to work but I would say that is a pesky workaraound and not a solution.

  • su teamviewer

    Fedora 25 wayland

    Regards,

    Amr

  • $ su teamviewer
    su: user teamviewer does not exist
    [root@localhost]# teamviewer

    Init...
    *** TeamViewer can not be executed with sudo! ***
    Either use your normal user account without sudo
    or use a the real root account to log in to your desktop (not recommended!).

    I'm sorry but I've failed to see how this resolves anything...
