[SOLVED]Starting a Daemon

Invie · 2012-12-05 21:30:13

When installing the new update for teamviewer, (teamviewer 8) I get this message that tells me that the TeamViewer Daemon is not running, and to start it, and restart teamviewer. As we all know, Arch is build with systemd, or at least the default Arch install...

... How do I go about running the daemon?

I've tried:

Failed to issue method call: No such file or directory
[ ~ ] > systemctl enable teamviewerd
Failed to issue method call: No such file or directory

This:

[ ~ ] > systemctl start teamviewer
Failed to issue method call: Unit teamviewer.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status teamviewer.service' for details.

As well as numerous different kinds of spellings for each word amongst these. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong here thus far.

Try looking at systemctl list-unit-files, as this should list every .service file available.

You could also use serman. It will create a checklist menu for all services on the system.

I'll take a look, thanks.

open a terminal, log in as root and type this from the # prompt

# systemctl enable teamviewerd.service <ENTER>

you should get a response like this:

ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/teamviewerd.service' '/etc/systemd/system/graphical.target.wants/teamviewerd.service'

then type in:
# systemctl start teamviewerd.service <ENTER>

if no errors it will return to the # prompt. Pardon my use of old dos (windows) nomenclature but e.g. <ENTER> for hitting the Enter key... I'm new here, and don't know how you get the actual terminal view added here, can use some help, thank you!

After installing the package, you can also run

pacman -Ql teamviewer | grep \\.service

and by adapting/removing the grep part you can use this strategy to learn about binaries/documentation/....

Please use code tags, like above.
