Help Needed: Installing TeamViewer

Hello all,

First of all its taken me weeks to get registered - thank you to Trixar_za for sorting that for me via IRC.

Loving SliTaz 4.0 - but this one I can't solve (but have been busy trying to)

Can someone help me install Teamviewer?

I tried via the package manager but had problems with getting the package from Teamviewer (problem with certificate). I downloaded it myself (the .deb package) & converted it using this link: http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/teamviewer

i 'installed' the package but I still can't see it.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers

mojo

Re: Help Needed: Installing TeamViewer

Install depends: bash alsa-lib zlib xorg-libXext

Daemon (teamviewerd) must be running before client(teamviewer) will start.

Copy teamviewerd start script:

# cp /opt/teamviewer8/tv_bin/script/teamviewerd.sysv /etc/init.d/teamviewerd

Start teamviewerd daemon:

# /etc/init.d/teamviewerd start

Add teamviewerd to RUN_DAEMONS= in /etc/rcS.conf to autostart on boot.

Copy teamviewer client desktop file and icon:

# cp /opt/teamviewer8/tv_bin/desktop/teamviewer.png /usr/share/pixmaps

# cp /opt/teamviewer8/tv_bin/desktop/teamviewer-teamviewer8.desktop /usr/share/applications

Start teamviewer client from menu:

Applications/Internet/TeamViewer 8

Re: Help Needed: Installing TeamViewer

thanks mojo for the assistance...

in short - still not working

in long:

i checked the dependencies were installed (only bash wasn't - I installed that via tazkpg)

i followed to the letter your instructions - that all went smoothly

I see the teamviewer icon in the menu - but no action when I click on it.

teamviewerd daemon seems to be running in the daemons (6193)

I tried your 'fix' in both full & frugal modes

maybe I have gone about this the wrong way?

I downloaded & converted the .deb version as I couldn't find the package in the mirrors?

cheers

Re: Help Needed: Installing TeamViewer

[c]tazpkg -gi coreutils-file-special[/c]

If teamviewer still doesn't run remove the teamviewer tazpkg on your system.

[c]tazpkg remove teamviewer[/c]

Download/install :  http://www.mediafire.com/download/9pgcka6s8na91iz/teamviewer-8.0.20931.tazpkg

[c]tazpkg install teamviewer-8.0.20931.tazpkg[/c]
