Teamviewer not working (no connection)

  • 772

I installed teamviewer on an Ubuntu 14.04 machine. I downloaded from the Teamviewer homepage the 32-bit version and run:

sudo dpkg -i teamviewer_linux.deb

I usually use this machine directly (not remotely), but, occasionally I log in remotely. In this case I want to start a teamviewer server remotely, to connect to my machine.

So, I run teamviewer via a ssh -X session on the server (ssh session with X support) in order to prepare the server for incoming connection.

Unfortunately, the status bar tells me Not ready. Please check your connection. I tried also setting an account but it tells me to check my connection and fails.

I used teamviewer before from the same machine and it never give me the same error. Can it be related to the fact I am running it via a ssh connection?

I tried also to change the ownership of /opt/teamviewer9 and ~/.config/teamviewer9 to my user (it was root:root) but with no results.

Thanks

    As per Tamil Selvan's comment, restarting does indeed fix this on *buntu, with a fresh install of Teamviewer.

    I had the same issue with an AWS EC2 instance.
