Hey sunny12345 (loving the creativity with the name ),

Have you tried navigating the terminal to the correct folder that the TeamViewer programme is?

This is a good place to learn how to navigate the terminal (that's if you don't know of course )

Hope this helps and hope you're enjoying Linux too (:

Hello, and welcome to Ubuntu and the forums!

For future reference, commands entered at the terminal and results from terminal commands should be surrounded by code tags when you post them, like this:

[CODE]Command
or
output
here[/CODE]

(An easy way to do this is to highlight the command/output and click the button with # right above the composition frame.)

Also, copying and pasting is usually a much better idea than retyping commands. A single character mistake throws everything off. (Keyboard shortcuts for copy and paste in the the terminal are Ctrl+Shift+C and Ctrl+Shift+V.)

sudo dpkg --install teanviewer_linux_x64.deb

thx for your reply Robocracy
i have saved it into my Downloads and then using the comand lines which i found on the internet, i am using linux for the first time, could you possibly guide me how to install teamviewer?

Well I'm hoping I'm going to get this right, so here goes:

You head over to the 'Terminal' and you enter

cd /home/[insert your username here without the square brackets]/Downloads

then you should get the initial command line change from

[username]@[computer name]:~$

to

[username]@[computer name]:~/Downloads$

now enter

sudo dpkg --install teanviewer_linux_x64.deb

Hopefully that'll sort everything out (:

Hi ,

If the error you received is due to missing dependencies , you can try to correct with this command

sudo apt-get install -f

or else, make sure you downloaded the correct architecture 32bit or 64bit.

You can see what arch is your system with these commands

lscpu | grep Arch
uname -a

x86_64= 64 bit
i686 or X86 = 32bit

The other thing is that teamviewer is available to another form , where you not need to install something. Scroll down the page and you will see
Other systems (not officially supported)
Download tar.gz v7.0.9377

You can download this package and extract the contents and then run teamviewer with a simple command in terminal.

We assume you downloaded and extracted the contents to Downloads folder, open a terminal and do

cd Downloads 
./teamviewer

Is running ?

nothing seems to work for me!!

[raja.genupula]

open your terminal and do these steps one by one

wget http://www.teamviewer.com/download/teamviewer_linux.deb
sudo dpkg -i teamviewer_linux.deb

execute them one by one .

Firstly, spelling is important when installing software and this thread refers to both "teamviewer" and "teanviewer".

Assuming you actually want to install "teamviewer_linux_x64.deb" then simply download this file to the location of your choice then double-click on the downloaded file to start the gdebi installer. This should request your password and then install the package automatically.
