TeamViewer Support on Wayland - Experimental State
Comments
-
Sorry, I didn't notice that log snippets weren't allowed on the forums, and support issue tracker is only available for paying customers. So I guess the forums are just for feedback anecdotes and not actually fixing anything.
I did discover that it works for Gnome Wayland, I had to install xdg-desktop-portal-gnome, which somehow wasn't installed when I installed the entire gnome desktop package group.

**bleep**. Are you serious?! You have to "allow screen sharing" .. for software that "allows remote control"?
THAT UTTERLY DESTROYS REMOTE CONTROL and I can now no longer access the device without running through the building to .. access the device. Since that's THE ONLY THING THIS SOFTWARE WAS SUPPOSED TO DO.. and I'm a new Linux user.. can anyone tell me how to de-grade out of the Wayland **bleep** version of TeamViewer or point me at a remote control program .. that actually allows remote control?!!! arrrrgh

Well I did have a system that allowed me to log in to my unattended workstation.
Now I have to be there to enable it. This is a severe loss of capabilty for me. It makes the system unusable.
Up until now, I have been really pleased with Teamviewer. In my opinion a very capable application.
I would appreciate your advice how to make it work unattended,

As many here have already pointed out - the ability to log in to an unattended workstation is very important, and the current TeamViewer on Wayland does not support this. Would be great if this was somehow implemented.

it seems like keyboard shortcuts are not working for me. When i use fedora on wayland, my keyboard shortcuts are not send to the remotely controlled windows machines. The mouse and normal keyboard input work fine, however. Does anyone have a fix for this?

Dear Teamviewer support team,
When I try to log in with Ubuntu22, I get an error that the server is not connected and will not log in.
Even the other PC that was able to log in, on the desktop, access is not possible unless sharing operation on the PC being accessed, making the remote useless.
This only sharing issue happens on desktops, not on laptops.
As long as the policy is to support Ubuntu, please make sure that it also works correctly with Wayland, which is used by the latest version of Ubuntu.
Thank you,

Without unattended device support, I have no use for Teamviewer. I need to access my devices without someone present.
I attempted to disable Wayland on Ubuntu with "sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf" in command line and uncomment #WaylandEnable=false. This didn't help. The device doesn't show online and I can't connect to it. So this Wayland update has made the Ubuntu device only available if someone is present to click "Share".

Remote communication priory defined that the person can not reach other computer. Wayladnd completely ruins this definition..
If you want to use it in restricted meeting or in jail than make the separate function. NOT AS a DEFAULT.

Is there anything we config error?

same with you, KDE-Wayland session on Fedora37

I'm having the same thing. did you solve the issue?
@JeanK I think there's a bug in TeamViewer, because on Ubuntu, any software that wants to use the key shortcuts, asks for a permission to "Inhibit Shortcuts", and then it can send shortcuts:
but for TeamViewer that has never happened.
I can't sent any key combinations to the remote Windows machine.

2FA using the teamviewer client on mobile to give permission to a desktop connection is not currently supported in Wayland, though it is in X.org. We need this feature in Wayland.

using fresh install of fedora 38. logitech mx master 3 cursor position is not clicking and pointing in the right place. in other apps it's ok. it's only in teamviewer. using akmod nvidia drivers (from rpmfusion). teamviewer_15.41.7

Mine does support incoming connections, but it never gets up the allow/deny prompt of wayland asking for screen sharing permission, resulting in my phone getting stuck on "connecting" prompt and not getting into remote control screen, however the sounds of the desktop do get shared and are audible on my phone (Ubuntu upper icons also indicate the mic is getting shared)... [removed per Community Guidelines]

Regarding the problems with Ubuntu 22.04 and Wayland, the only workaround I've found is to log into Ubuntu with XOrg (they are supposed to be 100% compatible). Follow this steps:
- Disable "automatic login" (apps menu --> settings --> users --> toggle off automatic login)
- Log out (top right "power menu" --> power off / log out --> close session)
- Select you user, and press bottom right cogwheel. Select "Ubuntu on Xorg" and login
Teamviewer should now work as before.
You can now enable automatic login again, and from now on you should always be automatically logging in using Xorg (and thus with a working Team Viewer).
Hope this helps.

I am starting to use Wayland. I have Plasma on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and the latest version of Teamviewer installed. Teamviewer shows me the message that I am using Wayland. So far, so good. When I try to connect, after entering the password shown on TV, the floating TV window appears with the chat and the device I'm trying to connect from (a mobile phone). However, finally that floating window closes and the main TV window reappears. What can I do to provide you with information about this?
Thanks
Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20230422
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.105.0

I must add that SESSION IS ALIVE, but my remote client (smartphone) only shows "Wait to stablish connection" and in remote PC appears my smartphone name and IP, like it were connected.

Hi guys,
I need to login to the my Linux Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS (using gdm3) via Wayland because of a series di graphics problems which are present in Xorg but solved in Wayland.
As said before I have a problem in trying to connect to my machine: someone always have to grant permission on the incoming connection:
Is there a way, as September 2023, to solve this issue without having to use Xorg?
What is the current state of the art on this issue? Is there any other working workaround?
Thank you so much for your support

There have been a lot of Portal works recently that would help, primarily remote-desktop-restore-token, inputcapture, and clipboard portals. Hopefully it would mean that TeamViewer could be offered as a Snap and Flatpak soon (or at least just not require install on root - quite annoying on immutable OS where I prefer to use Flatpak, Distrobox, and Nix)

I have recently installed (fresh install) Debian 12 Stable installation with KDE.
By default it comes with Wayland.
I install Teamviewer in its latest version, it tells me that Wayaland is detected but ok (like the first image in this thread).
Ok, when I want to connect to this computer (from my mobile to test) I get the following KDE screen and it doesn't allow me to connect:
Translated it indicates:
KDE Portal Integration
Failed to start screen recording
Failed to create PipeWire context.
Remote control session started
You have requested access to:
- Screens
- Input devices
And there it stays, therefore, I can't get past it.
Any solution for Wayland?
Debian 12 Stable, KDE 5.27.5, Kernel 6.1.0-12.
Thank you.

Hello Wonder_Wonder,
What kind of system does your Debian run on? I was able to reproduce this problem with Debian 12 running in a VirtualBox machine when 3D acceleration of the machine is disabled (which it was by default). Syslog also got spammed with messages
kwin_wayland_wrapper[892]: kwin_wayland_drm: Failed to record frame: Error creating EGLImageKHR - "EGL_BAD_ALLOC"After I enabled 3D acceleration (with VMSVGA controller), I could successfully connect.
And btw, Krfb showed the same issue, so it seems this problem is not actually specific to TeamViewer.
Kind regards
Jonas

I have this problem on a desktop computer, not on virtualbox, it is my own computer.
The graphics card I have is amd RX 480 8GB.
Regarding: "And btw, Krfb showed the same issue, so it seems this problem is not actually specific to TeamViewer."
I don't know or have no knowledge about Krfb, I have searched for it in this thread, and I haven't found anything about it.
If I change my Debian12 session from Wayland to Xorg then it works, I think it's Teamviewer with Wayland on Debian12 KDE

There is also another test you can do to see whether screen capturing works in general. Just open this web page with Firefox and select "Screen capture". You should see an infinite tunnel of your screen...

Right, that's right...
Debian 12 KDE stable, by default Wayland but NOT Pipewire.
I'm discussing this problem on the db forum, and something as simple as Pipewire, I didn't think about it not being installed...
I have installed it, indeed, now I don't have that error...now it connects and displays but not well.
Your link for Firefox is exactly how Teamviewer worked for me in X11, I have two screens, I saw one, I could go from one to the other.
Well, now, after installing Pipewire and configuring it following the debian wiki, Teamviewer connects me but... it shows me the 2 screens as if it were only 1, and the mouse is not displayed (it is difficult to explain in writing).
In your Firefox link that didn't happen, first it asked me what screen to show, I selected 1, and then, that's right, infinite tunnel but I saw the mouse move.
As I indicated, now, Teamviewer connects but my two screens appear as a single screen and the mouse, despite moving, I don't see it so I don't know where I am or anything...

Hello moscardo,
thansk for your feedback. As bayazidbh already mentioned, recently there have been many changes and improvements of the interfaces which TeamViewer uses to request screen sharing on Wayland systems. This should now also make it possible to add support for unattended access, so that users do not have to approve every time.
However, I do not expect that to be implemented/backported for Ubuntu 22.04 anymore. So there, using Xorg will most probably be the only option.

Found on problem on Ubuntu 23.10 (Wayland / Gnome):
While a Teamviewer client is connected to the Teamviewer server on Wayland, closing Teamviewer on Wayland results in a crash of the Teamviewer application.

Hello targettor,
thanks a lot for the feedback. We'll have a look into that.

Hello everyone,
I'd also like to get TeamViewer running on Wayland.
Connecting from a Mac, I get a "Starting remote session" message, but that's where it stops.
Connecting from a Win machine, I only get "Remote control is currently deactivated on the device".
I can choose to share the screen, keyboard, and mouse on the laptop, but it makes no difference.
There's an orange icon in the top left corner "Screen is Being Sharing".
I don't see any error messages.
I've got the following on the laptop that I want to connect to:
- Debian 11
- Gnome Wayland
- Pipewire package version 0.3.19-4
- TeamViewer 15.46.7 QS
Any tip on what I can troubleshoot?
