Re: Teamviewer GUI does not launch

From the multi-user.target just

export XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11; startx

Check what "loginctl session-status" reports and whether the environment is still set and then try to start teamviewer (since we're trying to figure whether it somewhere queries that, not to find convoluted ways to start X11 through systemd)

Re: Teamviewer GUI does not launch

From the multi-user.target just

I'd set my default target as graphical.target. I set it to multi-user.target then export x11 as the default session type and ran startx. Here's the loginctl status output (aftet I tried to start teamviewer):

$ loginctl session-status

Did you want me to change /usr/lib/ystemd/system/multi-user.target? Currently it has this:

[Unit]
Description=Multi-User System
Documentation=man:systemd.special(7)
Requires=basic.target
Conflicts=rescue.service rescue.target
After=basic.target rescue.service rescue.target
AllowIsolate=yes

And this is my graphical.target

[Unit]
Description=Graphical Interface
Documentation=man:systemd.special(7)
Requires=multi-user.target
Wants=display-manager.service
Conflicts=rescue.service rescue.target
After=multi-user.target rescue.service rescue.target display-manager.service
AllowIsolate=yes

Re: Teamviewer GUI does not launch

Hi,

please run

/opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/TeamViewer

and post the output.
Please also try to run teamviewer like this:

QT_QPA_PLATFORM="wayland;xcb" teamviewer

Re: Teamviewer GUI does not launch

Sorry, this one fell off the table.
You'll have to manipulate the environment of the getty service to impact the session type, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Getty# … al_console (3rd tip)
