Either go back to KDE or look for another DE… ![]() Now I think that’s not going to happen ever. In the past I have posted threads with my complains about GNOME 3, and how foolishly I hoped that in some future it would get fixed/improved. This way works marvelously at least on Windows (sorry for mentioning it), and seemingly KDE users have absolutely no problems this way because KDE doesn’t use gdm like GNOME… Thing is, I really wanted to be able to run TeamViewer without installing it. So I’d have 2 options: either ending up full installing TeamViewer so its init scripts can start before login, or install another “display manager” such as LightDM (sorry, it’s not “desktop manager”, I got wrong the term). So would I be switching to LightDM each time I ever use TeamViewer, or could I switch to it for good for everyday use?ĭid more searches and found above could certainly support what you just mentioned. If I go and install another desktop environment, when booting openSUSE will I be given an option to choose, or only the one in /etc/sysconfig/desktopmanager will be used? What is it? Kind of another whole desktop environment? I’m totally unfamiliar with the “desktop manager” concept. So I did another quick search:Īfter reading this I got a bit nervous again and decided to ask for advise here again. I hope so TeamViewer 13 supposedly no longer relies on Wine or 32-bit libraries, therefore no freetype2 needed, supposedly…Īnd they suggested to use another desktop manager, such as LightDM. Result: got forever stuck at “Launching TeamViewer GUI…” while nothing else happening.Īfter some searches I read it’s probably due to the default desktop manager: ![]() ![]() So finally tried running TeamViewer with “./teamviewer” from command line as normal user. Hope I did nothing wrong…Īnyway, it turned that installing package libQt5WebKitWidgets5 pulled all required packages, as running again the tv-setup test gave “all dependencies seem to be resolved”. I noticed -provides option also looks for partial chain matches and case-insensitive by default, just like plain “zypper se”. So I did “zypper se -provides ”, as root. It told some Qt5 libraries were missing, although at same time no 32-bit libraries were listed as missing (and this would be the very first installation of TeamViewer on this PC). Ran system updates with “zypper up” just today before doing all tests.Īfter reading TeamViewer 13 finally went “stable” for Linux circa 2 weeks ago I decided to give it a try by downloading the 64-bit tar.xz package.Įxtracted it, changed into the directory, and ran “./tv-setup checklibs” (as normal user, no root needed!).
