Thanks, that was very helpful

You can log on to someone else's pc using the Teamviewer website from any modern browser. That is very useful as you can do it from anywhere without installing anything.

Thank you, Sameer. Your advice helped me solve this issue. Now I can use the TeamViewer Android app to control my desktop remotely without having to boot into Windows.

Thanks for the info to get the service running, but I can't log in. I get an authentication error when I put in the password I used for the unattended access. I've got a dozen windows system that work fine, but something is different in Linux. Go figure?

EDIT: I actually reversed the steps Sameer stated and used "sudo teamviewer --daemon enable" and that worked. I could connect and log in, after that it stalled and I can't connect again.

EDIT #2: On a side note for others, I did get it working. I had to change the authentication type to Teamviewer in the right click options on the client computer.

Good you figured it out..
I now have problems with signing in to my teamviewer account through the program (website access works great). Go figure once again...

I did run into one issue that is weird. "teamviewer --passwd D!ngBell" would not work. It through an error with the !ngBell portion. I don't think Linux command line likes commands with an exclamation mark ! in it.

Have you tried running it like this?:

teamviewer --passwd "D!ngBell"

BTW, I hope this is not your real password!

Lol, not my password. Just one I made up trying variations. It seems to not like an exclamation while at command line. I used double and single quotes, but eventually got it working via the GUI.
