Would there by chance be an expert in the opensuse world on the installation of teamviewer. It appears to install with all its dependencies. But I can’t get the GUI to launch. I have read a number of threads on the subject and there seems to be troubles on the subject.
Is it an easy fix or should I forget it.
Try to launch Teamviewer in your Terminal. Maybe you can see an error message or something else. Post the output here in code tags.
Init...
Checking setup...
Launching TeamViewer .
It says that, but it does nothing.
Ok. It may help to remove & re-install it. Or try this first:
sudo teamviewer --daemon start && teamviewer
Maybe the deamon isn’t running.
sudo teamviewer --daemon start && teamviewer
We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.
root's password:
systemctl start teamviewerd.service
Job for teamviewerd.service failed. See 'systemctl status teamviewerd.service' and 'journalctl -n' for details.
fail
Init...
Checking setup...
Launching TeamViewer ...
Tried that code and got this.
removing and reinstalling did nothing. when I click on launcher, I see the mini icon bouncing for 15 seconds.

Why did you not do what the message tells you to do?

probably because I don’t know what Im looking at.
Post the ouput of:
systemctl status teamviewerd.service
Maybe we can figure out what’s wrong.
systemctl status teamviewerd.service

Unprivileged users can't see messages unless persistent log storage is enabled. Users in the group 'adm' can always see messages.
You need sudo for the command.
sudo journalctl _SYSTEMD_UNIT=teamviewerd.service

You could try this, perhaps:
su -
systemctl start teamviewerd.service
journalctl -n
If the program doesn’t say itself what the problem is, there is little
we can do…
And please, remember those are administrative commands. You need to use
sudo or su.

At last! We got something. It is looking for libX11.so.6. It should be here:
/usr/lib/libX11.so.6
Do you have it?
Assuming you have 13.1 64, you need both libX11-6-1.6.2-2.1.2.x86_64 and
libX11-6-32bit-1.6.2-2.1.2.x86_64.
If not, install them.

I cannot find the libX11.so.6 or libX11-6-32bit-1.6.2-2.1.2.x86_64 in the repos.

Impossible. They are on the default repositories, nothing to search
about. Just use YaST or zypper directly.

Notice that the versions I quoted are for openSUSE 13.1. I’m assuming
you have 13.1, but you did not say what you have.
