UPDATE: TeamViewer has addressed this problem on their download page. It clearly states which version is meant for Multiarch and which isn't. (PROTIP: Version 11.10 and up have multiarch.) As of Ubuntu 11.10, there is no longer an ia32-libs
package. Because of this, older x64 packages (such as the x64 version distributed on their site) will no longer be able to install.
Bad idea!TeamViewer has since removed the x64-only download, and they only offer the i386 version.
Don't use out-of-date reposTo install TeamViewer now, it's as simple as visiting the (Raring in Trusty)official download page, clicking the "Download" button, and then running the downloaded .deb
file.
To installIf you want to use the terminal for this operation, that's still doable:
- Download the official image from http://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/linux.aspx (always get 32bit)
- Open a console
- Run command
cd ~/Downloads/
- Run command
sudo dpkg -i teamviewer_linux.deb
Grab the TeamViewer debfile:
wget https://download.teamviewer.com/download/teamviewer_i386.deb
- Run command
sudo apt-get -f install
to install any missing dependenciesInstall the downloaded DEB file:
sudo dpkg -i teamviewer_i386.deb
- Follow whatever steps it needs you to take.
If DPKG throws any errors, fix any dependency issues to make sure everything works fine:
sudo apt update && sudo apt -f install
You do not need (or want) the 64bit package, as Ubuntu has a "multiarch" feature, allowing a 64bit OS to natively run 32bit programsTeamViewer will now be ready for use and will be present in your menu.
