I have searched and cannot find any useful information. I am trying to get my teamviewer connections to open up in the same window as another tab. I have this ability already on one computer but the other does not do it. I cannot find the setting to change this, and I am not sure how it ever got turned on, but I like it.
Why don't you go for a pptp client solution instead of a complex software such as OpenVPN which can be difficult to setup? It is well supported in Linux with many frontends and it is native to windows. With PPTP you have your username and password and that's it. Setup the server on windows, the client on Linux, click on the connect button and you're done.
I'm looking for a way to share displays across multible platforms. problem is i only used team-viewer before and i can't get teamviewer to work on arch. I've installed it from aur / git but so far only old versions of teamviewer (v12) work which as it turns out isn't enough to connect to my partners newer version (v15).
So the question is there an alternative program which is cross platform and easy to install (for windows users). if not maybe i should use VM or Wine?
thanks for attention, Indian tech support (:
seth knows what he's doing much better than I do, but if you continue to have problems after you've done what he says, you should take a look at the pinned comment by seyn6gk on the teamviewer AUR page, it talks about the newer versions of TV not working properly without a DE. It doesn't work with startx at the moment.
but as it turns out this isn't enough and installing DM quickly fixed that and teamviewer works flawlessly. kinda sad that i cant use my old terminal login i thought it looked cool );
anyways CASE SOLVED!
* sudo systemctl status teamviewerd to see if it is running.
* It's possible to delete (or better move it to another location in case something goes wrong) .config/teamviewer and .local/share/teamviewer15/ .
* The log file is stored in .local/share/teamviewer15/logfiles/gui.log ; if the program doesn't work then check if there's any issue.
