Installing Teamviewer 11 on Kali rolling x64

First some background info.

This issue came up in the irc channel. I found it to be a strange problem as it has previously not been a problem to install on any of the versions I have used in the past.

Firstly I am using VMware Workstation 12.0.0 build-2985596
I am using kali-linux-2016.1-amd64.iso

This is installed in the normal way and I have tried this both with and without VMware tools installed following http://docs.kali.org/general-use/ins...ols-kali-guest

I have tried this method several times without any issues, but I still consider it to be a fugly method.

With all that out of the way, please follow at your own risk. It works for me but I cannot guarantee differences in installs will not cause issues.

Download teamviewer_11.0.53191_i386.deb

From

Code:

From http://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/linux/

Then move it to your home dir to make it easier to find.

Then enter the following commands

Code:

root@KALI:~# apt-get update

Code:

root@KALI:~# apt-get upgrade

Code:

root@KALI:~# dpkg --add-architecture i386

Code:

root@KALI:~# apt-get update

Now we are setup to start the real install process

Code:

root@KALI:~# apt-get install libc6:i386 libgcc1:i386 libasound2:i386 libfreetype6:i386 zlib1g:i386 libsm6:i386 libxdamage1:i386 libxext6:i386 libxfixes3:i386 libxrandr2:i386 libxrender1:i386 libxtst6:i386 libxinerama1:i386 graphicsmagick adwaita-icon-theme libgtk-3-0 libjpeg62-turbo libdbus-1-3 libexpat1 libfontconfig1 libjpeg62

You WILL get a message saying:

Code:

The following packages have unmet dependencies: libjpeg62-turbo : Conflicts: libjpeg62 E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Just ignore that message

Code:

root@KALI:~# apt-get -f install

Now from here is where I think it gets fugly, you will see why but I didn't see any way around it.

Code:

root@KALI:~# dpkg -i teamviewer_11.0.53191_i386.deb

You will get a message saying:

Code:

Selecting previously unselected package teamviewer:i386. (Reading database ... 311652 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to unpack teamviewer_11.0.53191_i386.deb ...

You will notice that they are deps that should have already been installed..... but hey... lets carry on.

Code:

root@KALI:~# apt-get -f install

And that's it.

Teamviewer 11 should now be installed and can be started like this:

From the menu Applications > Usual Applications > Internet > Teamviewer

or from terminal by typing

Code:

root@KALI:~# teamviewer

You should see output like this before the actual GUI starts if starting from the terminal

Code:

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

As I said, this has worked exactly as shown here several times.

I hope it works for you too.

Thanks for the excellent post. For those after running the instructions posted and getting "Teamviewer daemon not running" error message. Then enter teamviewer --daemon enable

Hi
Even after I sudo apt-get -f install, I get following error:
Preparing to unpack teamviewer_11.0.57095_i386.deb ...
Unpacking teamviewer:i386 (11.0.57095) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of teamviewer:i386:
teamviewer:i386 depends on libpng12-0.
..... looks like package libpng12-0. is nt getting installed.
Why could this be?
THanks

i am having trouble installing as well however i was able to before i did a fresh install.. followed same instructions so i really dont know wht can be wrong

edit: UPDATED 7/26. using my previous method will not allow you to use apt-get.

before using apt-get -f install, open up /var/lib/dpkg/status in a texit editor ( recommend backing up before editing) . find teamviewer then find the list of dependencies. delete libpng12-0 from the list and save. now run your apt-get -f install. and continue down the rest of my list of commands if you still get a messege when starting up about no daemon running. teamviewer is now working for me and i can update computer with apt-get as well

Quote:

i think i found a fix...

after the last apt-get -f install, instead of hitting y for yes type for no, then type in terminal ( you may have to hit y, i am not sure since i have been trying over and over to get this working and dont remember what it looked like the first time i did it, at this point for me apt-get -f install was trying to REMOVE teamviewer so i hit n fo no)

Code:

teamviewer --daemon enable

Code:

systemctl enable teamviewerd.service

Code:

systemctl start teamviewerd.service

Code:

teamviewer

this allowed me to open up the program... i am not sure if these lines need to be used every restart and i have not tried connecting to or from the computer. this simply allowed me to open up the program

I followed @balding_parrot instructions exactly as mentioned above and they didn't work.
I'm running Kali 2016.1.
When you do apt-get -f install the second time it removes Teamviewer altogether. And I chose Y and let the Teamviewer get removed.
after that i ran installed Teamviewer again using following command

Code:

dpkg -i teamviewer_11.0.53191_i386.deb

and then

Code:

teamviewer --daemon enable

You can run it by running /opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/desktop/teamviewer-teamviewer11.desktop
or from command line as simply

Code:

teamviewer

hi md1hunox,
I do it according to your approach.
But gui does not look normal.

https://packages.debian.org/stretch/...andr2/download

run
apt-get upgrade check packages
install all missing packages
and reinstall teamviewer

Try using the following.

dpkg --force-depends -i teamviewer.deb

You will have to change teamviewer.deb to whatever the actual file name is. This is what worked for me. Hope it helps you.

I had to add 'deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian jessie main' (with no quotes) to my sources.list in order to get the libpng12-0 to install. After that, everything has been running properly with the graphical interface and everything.

Working on vmware - Not working on MAC

I've been following this tutorial and having the same configuration Vmware Workstation 12.0.0 build-2985596 + kali-linux-2016.2-amd64.iso I've succesfully installed teamviewer.

However, following the exact steps on a pretty old mac having kali installed as the main and only OS with 8GB Ram and having the following configuration:

Code:

Architecture: x86_64 CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit Byte Order: Little Endian CPU(s): 2 On-line CPU(s) list: 0,1 Thread(s) per core: 1 Core(s) per socket: 2 Socket(s): 1 NUMA node(s): 1 Vendor ID: GenuineIntel CPU family: 6 Model: 23 Model name: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8135 @ 2.66GHz Stepping: 10 CPU MHz: 2660.000 CPU max MHz: 2660.0000 CPU min MHz: 1596.0000 BogoMIPS: 5306.57 Virtualization: VT-x L1d cache: 32K L1i cache: 32K L2 cache: 6144K NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0,1 Flags: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good nopl aperfmperf eagerfpu pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm sse4_1 xsave lahf_lm tpr_shadow vnmi flexpriority dtherm

with

Code:

Linux version 4.6.0-kali1-amd64 ([email protected]) (gcc version 5.4.0 20160609 (Debian 5.4.0-6) ) #1 SMP Debian 4.6.4-1kali1 (2016-07-21)

I get the following error when trying to start teamviewer:

Code:

Init... CheckCPU: SSE2 support: yes XRandRWait: No value set. Using default. XRandRWait: Started by user. Checking setup... /opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/script/tvw_exec_legacy: line 9: /opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/wine/bin/wineserver: No such file or directory /opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/script/tvw_profile_legacy: line 127: /opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/wine/bin/wine: No such file or directory

Also tried to enable disable teamviewer daemon and using --force-depends in my installation cmd

What I am doing wrong here?
