[SOLVED]Teamviewer doesn't continue from "Launching TeamViewer GUI..."

Hello

I have just reinstalled Arch on my new laptop, and has, on the old laptop, been using Teamviewer without any problems. However, on the new install, after starting the teamviewerd service, I can't start Teamviewer.

When I try to run teamviewer, the following happens:

$ teamviewer

Init...
CheckCPU: SSE2 support: yes
XRandRWait: No value set. Using default.
XRandRWait: Started by user.
Checking setup...
Launching TeamViewer ...
Launching TeamViewer GUI ...

It don't continue after "Launching TeamViewer GUI ...".

Any idea on why this happens would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [SOLVED]Teamviewer doesn't continue from "Launching TeamViewer GUI..."

This error is posted in the AUR comment section. Take these steps as the work around:
(from here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/team … ments=all)

1. clone lib32-freetype:
$ asp checkout lib32-freetype2
$ cd lib32-freetype2/trunk

2: checkout last 2.8 revision:
$ git checkout 3746440f041493db9cb4ada7f328412da9880322

3. build:
$ makepkg -s

3. copy library to Teamviewer's library path:
$ sudo cp pkg/lib32-freetype2/usr/lib32/libfreetype.so.6.14.0 /opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/RTlib/libfreetype.so.6

I had started the daemon, however, thank you for pointing it out, as it could have been the problem.

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed to get Teamviewer running again after a recent update.

Re: [SOLVED]Teamviewer doesn't continue from "Launching TeamViewer GUI..."

Don't forget to also add lib32-freetype2 to IgnorePkgs in /etc/pacman.conf!

Oh, that would probably explain why I have to reinstall lib32-freetype2 every time I update. Thanks for the tip! smile

Re: [SOLVED]Teamviewer doesn't continue from "Launching TeamViewer GUI..."

I had the had the same problem.

That workaround did the trick for me aswell.
Im not sure however that this lib is the real problem.

Before this workaround i did:
# sudo systemctl restart teamviewerd.service
After that i could connect teamviewer aswell. Only i had to do this after every reboot.

I hope this info helps for a permanent fix.

Re: [SOLVED]Teamviewer doesn't continue from "Launching TeamViewer GUI..."

Hi, I have same proble with teamviewer13 from aur:

$ teamviewer

Init...
CheckCPU: SSE2 support: yes
Checking setup...
Launching TeamViewer ...
Launching TeamViewer GUI ...

and doesn't continue

I have installed freetype2-2.2.9-2, lib32-freetype2-2.9-2, fontconfig 2.13.0+10+g58f5285-1 and lib32-fontconfig 2.13.0+10+g58f5285-1 but it doesn't work even with previous versions freetype2-2.8-2 & fontconfig2.12.6-1

teamviewerd is enabled and started

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance :-D

You do the more sane thing and only provide the old dependency to the old utility https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 4#p1779224

Re: [SOLVED]Teamviewer doesn't continue from "Launching TeamViewer GUI..."

If you encounter a dependences problem, it's because you did not enable multilib support. Just follow this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/of … g_multilib


And then you can install the lib with: sudo pacman -U lib32-freetype2-2.8-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Re: [SOLVED]Teamviewer doesn't continue from "Launching TeamViewer GUI..."

Why is this still being talked about? 32bit libraries are no longer needed. Last post is incorrect information. Unless you are rocking a 32bit system, Teamviewer 13 is pure 64bit and does not require multilib.
