Hi,

I have two identical computer running Ubuntu 16.04 Desktop, they runs Teamviewer 12.0.85001 and both have this issue: incoming connection is extremely slow. There are other computers in the same network, with Ubuntu 14.04 and teamviewer (same version) works without any problem, so it's not a network problem. All these computers run without a display physically connected.

Is there any issue related to teamviewer 12 on Ubuntu 16 instead of Ubuntu 14? I can I solve this issue is a software way (I'd avoid dummy plug o something like that).

Thank You

  • Have the exact same issue. Bootup with a display attached and no problems, but bootup the server without one and things get REEEEEAAAAALLLY slow. 

    Any news, ideas or fixes related to this?

  • I find it hard to consider it solved. More like temporary workaround available until TV can fix this properly.

  • The tower I have just has vga out.  What would I need that would be equal to the hdmi to vga adaptor?

     

    Thanks

    There are also dummy VGA plug, or you can use software dummy video solution:

    But I prefer the hardware one, since you can just unplug it if you a real monitor. The software solution won't let your system boot if you connect a real monitor, unless you delete that xorg.conf file!

     

  • I have a old Graphics card sitting around. I have just plugged it in to the pcie slot, without plugging in monitor and it seemed to solve the problem. I will do this until i get a hold of a headless display plug. However, this could be a solution if you don't have hdmi out, or don't have a headless plug.

    Dave, You can use a VGA dummy plug, you can even build one yourself

    Or you can use a software solution:

    But the software solution won't let you use a real monitor, so it's not recommended in my opinion!
