I need some information about remote desktop. Once in a blue moon I would connect to another computer, and have some maintenance done.
In the past I have used Team Viewer, “when and if” it installed properly on my machine.
What I would like to do is use a Linux equivalent remote desktop. But it would still have to connect to a Windows 10 machine that would be running Team Viewer.
Is this at all possible?
I use VNC when the need arises…

It is relatively straight forward when accessing a machine on the same LAN, but a bit more involved if needing to reach a remote host via the internet, as it involves some port forwarding on the internet gateway router. VPN connectivity can also be used to tunnel through to a remote host.
Your talking about a world that I know nothing about. But I wouldn’t mind learning.
Hi
When you say maintenance, in what context? Does the end user want to observe what is going on, or can the maintenance tasks be done in the background?
Teamviewer and Anydesk both work with Xorg but not Wayland
you need teamviewer-suse for OpenSUSE
from anydesk linux choose OpenSUSE 64 (unless you are running the 32 bit version)
heres what you need to get teamviewer
llrainey@VM1:/etc/zypp/repos.d> cat teamviewer.repo
[teamviewer]
name=TeamViewer - $basearch
baseurl=https://linux.teamviewer.com/yum/stable/main/binary-$basearch/
gpgkey=https://linux.teamviewer.com/pubkey/currentkey.asc
gpgcheck=1
repo_gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
type=rpm-md
failovermethod=priority
to install zypper in teamviewer-suse
In the past I would connect to my brother and sisters machine and do a bit of maintenance, and in many cases they were setting there and watching.
I am interested in what you have to say. But I will tell you right now, terminal intimidates the life out of me. I would rather dance in circles rather than open that program.
Ok folks, how do I get past all of this stuff? I guess I have to learn sooner or later.
I agree that TeamViewer or AnyDesk are will be the easiest to get up and running as they both use a centralised intermediate server to make connectivity easier. VNC is host to host, so a little more work to do with respect to firewalls.
Let me ask a question. Am I understanding this code correctly. Is there actually a repo for team viewer?
TeamViewer is a commercial product. Go to its website…
https://www.teamviewer.com/en-us/download/ios/
You gave me enough information that allowed me to do some google searching. I came up with the precise file that you recommend.
Thank you for your time
I downloaded the rpm and tried installing file using yast software. On both tries I got this “broken integrity check”. I had to abort.
YES - it will update every time teamviewer does an update.
You could safely ignore that.
Add it as a repo (with the requisite URL added) as shown earlier.
