Teamviewer 13 not working but Teamviewer 12 does

[ralphy]

I had somewhat a similar issue. It seems the package in the repo is a bit outdated. What worked for me:


Uninstall teamviewer

Code:

sudo apt-get remove --purge teamviewer -y
sudo apt-get autoclean && sudo apt-get autoremove -y

Download latest version directly from their site:


64bit

Code:

cd /tmp && wget https://download.teamviewer.com/download/linux/teamviewer_amd64.deb

OR 32bit

Code:

cd /tmp && wget https://download.teamviewer.com/download/linux/teamviewer_i386.deb

Finally install the package and its dependencies

64bit

Code:

sudo apt-get install ./teamviewer_amd64.deb -y

OR 32bit

Code:

sudo apt-get install ./teamviewer_i386.deb -y

I was able to control the remote machine again. In my case, I was not remoting into a Linux PC... so make sure to update both machines in your case.

Hope it helps.
