Installation on live system
I have followed the instructions for installing Teamviewer 13 on Ubuntu 18.04 as a Live User (boots from USB drive). Using the .deb package it shows install progress and hits 100% in 2 seconds but package not insttalled. I have never seen the authentication screen often mentioned. Installing via Terminal commands seems better but get errors on installing (packages missing). Any advice or suggestions? Could it be due to running from a USB Live version? Thanks.

When .deb files is not installed because of missing dependencies it prints what exactly is missing. For me it asked for libqt5x11extras5 and qtdeclarative5-controls-plugin which I installed with usual "sudo apt install thisDependencyName".

Have Ubuntu 18.04 install on USB drive, have tried to install TeamViewer 13 using the .deb package with no success. Tried to install via Terminal but failures as shown:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt install teamviewer
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
teamviewer is already the newest version (13.1.3026).
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
teamviewer : Depends: libqt5qml5 (>= 5.2) but it is not installable
Depends: libqt5quick5 (>= 5.2) but it is not installable
Depends: libqt5webkit5 (>= 5.1.1) but it is not installable
Depends: libqt5x11extras5 (>= 5.2) but it is not installable
Depends: qtdeclarative5-qtquick2-plugin (>= 5.2) but it is not installable or
qml-module-qtquick2 (>= 5.2) but it is not installable
Depends: qtdeclarative5-controls-plugin (>= 5.2) but it is not installable or
qml-module-qtquick-controls (>= 5.2) but it is not installable
Depends: qtdeclarative5-dialogs-plugin (>= 5.2) but it is not installable or
qml-module-qtquick-dialogs (>= 5.2) but it is not installable
Depends: qtdeclarative5-window-plugin (>= 5.2) but it is not installable or
qml-module-qtquick-window2 (>= 5.2) but it is not installable
Depends: qtdeclarative5-quicklayouts-plugin (>= 5.2) but it is not installable or
qml-module-qtquick-layouts (>= 5.2) but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Hi ! I had exactly the same trouble with X-Ubuntu 18.04 LTS few days ago. To solve it, I purge TeamViewer13 and re-install TeamViewer12. Now TeamViewer is runing...
Bye

@BenRommel i don't understand why you're working so hard at this, when all you need to do is add the
http://linux.teamviewer.com/debstable/main
repository and then "apt install teamviewer"
0 -
Pardon my ignorance but I used the above url but unable to add the repository using Ubuntu Software and Update Centre, add source is never un-greyed out. I am fairly new to Linux so what am I missing. Though some similarity with my old DOS days there is much more I am learning now. Thanks0

(sorry, link got munged from how it looks in output of "apt-cache policy")
use the utility to add a repository:
sudo apt-add-repository "deb http://linux.teamviewer.com/deb stable main"0 -
Well, I have followed your advice but even though it shows to be installed it will not run and is still suffering from missing dependencies as follows:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of teamviewer:
teamviewer depends on libc6-i386 (>= 2.11); however:
Package libc6-i386 is not installed.
teamviewer depends on lib32asound2; however:
Package lib32asound2 is not installed.
teamviewer depends on lib32z1; however:
Package lib32z1 is not installed.
teamviewer depends on ia32-libs; however:
Package ia32-libs is not installed.0 -
progress!
that's a nice neat list of missing packages. install them.sudo apt install libc6-i386 lib32asound2 lib32z1 ia32-libs

I have previously attempted to install but many say oackage not found. Are these possibly librarys from previous Ubuntu versions and if so how can I access/install them. This is getting awfully involved for what should have been an easy double click and install. Maybe 18.04 Bionic **bleep** is not ready for Teamviewer. Now past frustration, nearing giving up. Similar problem with WINE so suspect it's the Ubuntu version.

wait. which Ubuntu 18.04 have you got there? output of uname -m ought to be "x86_64".
(18.04 is an LTS release, which is a "+1" as far as Ubuntus (Ubuntii?) goes)here's a Google+ post of mine from 25 weeks ago which may help:
note about installing TeamViewer 12 (build 85001) on Ubuntu 17.10 (and probably all derived distros) --
there's a bit more to it than getting the .deb file downloaded and running
sudo dpkg -i ./teamviewer_12.0.85001_i386.deb .. unfortunately the (default verbosity) feedback from dpkg doesn't have the kind of detail to make a missing dependency clearly visible. Dependencies are tricky that way..skipping writing a tl;dr note, it's probably best just to run installs of all the dependencies and see if that triggers any installs:
sudo apt install libc6 libgcc1 libasound2 libexpat1 libdbus-1-3 libfontconfig1 libfreetype6
sudo apt install libjpeg62 libsm6 libxdamage1 libxext6 libxfixes3 libxinerama1 libxrandr2 libxrender1 libxtst6 zlib1g--> The following NEW packages will be installed:
libjpeg62hooray! why couldn't you (dpkg) have just told me in the first place instead of listing all the dependencies?

i had teamviewer 12 running on my Ubuntu 17.10 box. upgraded to teamviewer 13. then upgraded 17.10 to 18.04. which means I have teamviewer 13 running on the 18.04 box now.
you can review the configured repositories with apt-cache policy
mine looks like this (note most repos have both amd64 and i386 architectures enabled)Package files:

I've been using Teamviewer 13 on Ubuntu 18.04 for quite some time, it's true that there are some dependencies you have to install after the
dpkg -i teamviewer_v123.deb
but those should simply be resolved with a
apt-get -f install
0 -
the man page says
-f, --fix-broken
Fix; attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies in place. This option, when used with install/remove, can
omit any packages to permit APT to deduce a likely solution. If packages are specified, these have to completely
correct the problem. The option is sometimes necessary when running APT for the first time; APT itself does not allow
broken package dependencies to exist on a system. It is possible that a system's dependency structure can be so
corrupt as to require manual intervention (which usually means using dpkg --remove to eliminate some of the offending
packages). Use of this option together with -m may produce an error in some situations. Configuration Item:
APT::Get::Fix-Broken.
-m, --ignore-missing, --fix-missing
Ignore missing packages; if packages cannot be retrieved or fail the integrity check after retrieval (corrupted
package files), hold back those packages and handle the result. Use of this option together with -f may produce an
error in some situations. If a package is selected for installation (particularly if it is mentioned on the command
line) and it could not be downloaded then it will be silently held back. Configuration Item: APT::Get::Fix-Missing... which suggests to me delicate (not blind nor blundering) use of some combination of these (after trying them individually) may produce the desired results.
(delicate: read all the output and consider your next move accordingly)0 -
I'm just saying this has worked for me and most probably many others, for the teamviewer package and many others. "-f" does a very good job in general.0

The Ubuntu 18.04 live system has the 'universe' repository disabled by default, and TeamViewer needs some packages from that repository in order to install correctly. You can either enable it using the Software&Updates graphical tool, or run the following commands in a terminal.
sudo add-apt-repository universe
wget https://download.teamviewer.com/download/linux/teamviewer_amd64.deb
sudo apt install ./teamviewer_amd64.deb
teamviewer0
