5.1  INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT

HP will not honour support of our think clients if we install to the root flash. 
Therefore to we install to a removable USB flash disk. The full pathname to the TeamViewer binary is:

/media/GenericFlash_sdb1/opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/TeamViewer

5.2  RUNTIME ENVIRONMENT

LD_LIBRARY_PATH = /usr/lib:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:/media/GenericFlash_sdb1/usr/lib:/media/GenericFlash_sdb1/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:/media/GenericFlash_sdb1/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa

6.  ATTEMPTED RESOLUTION

  • Grepped the config files and shell scripts for mention of hard-coded installation locations e.g. /usr, /opt etc., amending a copy of those config files and scripts to alter that root to /media/GenericFlash_sdb1/usr, /media/GenericFlash_sdb1/opt etc.
  • Search online for related reports
  • Inspected the log file for fatal errors and found the mismatch -- see Line 24 of the Pastebin (sKqYQaDn).  Note that the "errors" reported on the two preceding lines, Lines 22-23, referring to the unreadability of the system and user config files, appears to be erroneous; the files exist, their ownership and permissions do not support the error:
$ ls -l /tmp/tmpfs/media/GenericFlash_sdb1/opt/teamviewer/config/global.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2791 Jun 28 15:12 /tmp/tmpfs/media/GenericFlash_sdb1/opt/teamviewer/config/global.conf
$ ls -l /home/michael/.config/teamviewer/client.conf
