Unable to dock TeamViewer in Ubuntu 18.04 [duplicate]

  • 772

In Ubuntu 18.04, I'm not able to dock TeamViewer. Even if I right click on the TeamViewer icon when opened, I can't see an option to make it favorite. How can I dock the teamviewer here permanently?

    Following Cannot add custom launcher to Ubuntu Dock (Add to Favorites) as suggested by pomsky, the following worked.

    Get a list of existing favorites

    $ gsettings get org.gnome.shell favorite-apps

['org.gnome.Terminal.desktop', 'jetbrains-pycharm-ce.desktop', 'spacefm.desktop', 'notepad-plus-plus_notepad-plus-plus.desktop', 'google-chrome.desktop', 'org.gnome.Screenshot.desktop', 'gnome-system-monitor_gnome-system-monitor.desktop', 'teams.desktop']

    Locate where the desktop files are stored using one the listed favorites

    $ locate org.gnome.Terminal.desktop

/usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Terminal.desktop

    Search for desktop file of teamviewer at that lcoation

    $ ls /usr/share/applications | grep teamviewer

com.teamviewer.TeamViewer.desktop

    Add teamviewer desktop file to list of favorites

    $ gsettings set org.gnome.shell favorite-apps "['org.gnome.Terminal.desktop', 'jetbrains-pycharm-ce.desktop', 'spacefm.desktop', 'notepad-plus-plus_notepad-plus-plus.desktop', 'google-chrome.desktop', 'org.gnome.Screenshot.desktop', 'gnome-system-monitor_gnome-system-monitor.desktop', 'teams.desktop', 'com.teamviewer.TeamViewer.desktop']"
