Hello darlac,

Hi again,
teamviewer was working fine till last night - now it cannot start; re0installed it - nothing fixed;
this is on OS 11.4 -
any ideas?
Dimitris

There's not enough information in your post for us to help you.
So could you tell us if you use KDE or GNOME? Which version of Teamviewer?
How did you (re)install Teamviewer? Do you get any errors when you try to start Teamviewer?
What have you done before it stopped working, what did you change?

And it can also be useful to post the output of Teamviewer when you run it from terminal.

Best of luck!

Maybe the TeamViewer cannot find any information on your system(s) anymore
they can sell ? So they just got annoyed and want to use their bandwidth for
other virctims (sorry. "clients") ?

hi arkascha,
going this toute is meaningless - why then trust any software? any open source software? at least with tw, which is microsoft product, you knpw who to go after - in these cases free versions are leverage for the corporate version that is not free (which actually my company cobsiders buying now)

One small correction:
Teamviewer is not a microsoft product and never was, it is a product from
TeamViewer GmbH (a small german company). It is just as some other software
provided as freeware for personal use.

Hi Martin,
you are right - thanks; but this doesn't void whatever I said - I do not mean to advertise TV in any way - but the same problems exist with each software - I use Opera as browser and thunderbird as my email client - how do I know that information is not collected from the parent companies?
You have to use with caution your sensitive data - that with the large volume of web users I believe is the only defense...
anyway,
any ideas on my problem?

I did not say that, just that it is not from MS.

About your problem I am not really sure what this can be, I run TV on two
machines (one for work where we use the commercialy licensed TV) and one for
private things (mostly helping sometimes friends who are windows users) as
freeware version (simply means without a license).
So far I did not run into trouble.
I think the output from the command line is essential to get some details as
Edward already suggested.

thanks Marting,
I will post that on monday when I am in front of that pc -
I have used TV for a long time with no problems, not sure why this is misbehaving

actually the terminal output is not very helpful - at least to me
here it is:

any ideas?
