Teamviewer GUI slow on Debian

I am running TV 12 on my Debian GNU/Linux machine. The problem is, after I start teamviewer, the GUI is terribly slow, it takes several seconds when I switch to TeamViewer window to redraw, or when I click on menu, it takes several seconds to show.

After like a minute or so, it starts working normally. Note this is prior to connecting anywhere, just the GUI is running.

Any idea what could be the problem?

Thanks.

I had similar issue and had to install a dummy video driver:

sudo apt update

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-dummy

create or edit file below

sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/xorg.conf

and paste below in the conf file then save file and reboot

Dear mehturt,

Thank you for your video post.

What Debian version are you using?

I will like to check if I'm able to reproduce your issue with a default Debian installation with Window Maker.

Any information that might help us simulate your environment will be great.

We are looking forward to your comments.

Best regards,

Christian

In order to demonstrate the problem, I recorded my desktop where I start teamviewer, move the windows around and click menus.

Hello Christian,

I downloaded the most recent version but it looks the same.

Hello Christian, thanks for looking into this. How can I share the info.log?

ChristianCay

Dear mehturt,

Thank you for contacting TeamViewer.

Let's have a look to your system while you're running TeamViewer.

Please run these commands to diagnose your issue

cat /proc/cpuinfo | tee info.log
uptime | tee -a info.log
ps auxf | grep -i teamviewer | awk '{print $11 "\t" $4}' | tee -a info.log
free -h | tee -a info.log

Then send us the output so we can check what's happening.

We are looking forward to your comments.

Best regards,

Christian
