I tried to install Teamviewer 9 on Ubuntu 14.04, unsuccessfully.

I've downloaded the following extra(Raring) packages:

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/i/ia32-libs/ia32-libs-multiarch_20090808ubuntu36_i386.deb
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/i/ia32-libs/ia32-libs_20090808ubuntu36_amd64.deb
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/alsa-lib/libasound2_1.0.25-4ubuntu3.1_i386.deb
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/alsa-lib/libasound2_1.0.25-4ubuntu3.1_amd64.deb
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/alsa-lib/lib32asound2_1.0.25-4ubuntu3.1_amd64.deb
http://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/linux.aspx

But these errors were happened while I was installing the packages (I've also tried install with Ubuntu's Software Center, the same):

$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Do someone know how to install the Teamviewer on 14.04?

  • Why don't you use Ubuntu's Software Center to install TeamViewer (by double clicking the .deb)? The Software Center will automatically resolve and install the dependencies for you.

  • Sorry, I've forget to mention in the question. I've tried from that Ubuntu's Software Center too!

  • I had the same problem as you with 64-bit of team viewer, just try 32-bit and you will be fine.

    @Braiam showed in his answer: First, download the 32 bit version: wget http://www.teamviewer.com/download/teamviewer_linux.deb - First, install gdebi: sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install gdebi In the same directory you downloaded the .deb file just run: sudo gdebi teamviewer_linux.deb

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.

TeamViewer has since removed the x64-only download, and they only offer the i386 version.

To install TeamViewer now, it's as simple as visiting the official download page, clicking the "Download" button, and then running the downloaded .deb file.

If you want to use the terminal for this operation, that's still doable:

  1. Grab the TeamViewer debfile:

     wget https://download.teamviewer.com/download/teamviewer_i386.deb

  2. Install the downloaded DEB file:

     sudo dpkg -i teamviewer_i386.deb

  3. If DPKG throws any errors, fix any dependency issues to make sure everything works fine:

     sudo apt update && sudo apt -f install

TeamViewer will now be ready for use and will be present in your menu.

    Oh yeah, you're right! Thank you. Otherwise, it is just a temporary solution. I'm looking forward to run the TV without Multiarch, and Mono/Wine, but natively on amd64!

    Bad idea. TeamViewer 64bit was made for non-multiarch systems. In essence, it was the same product, requiring ia32-libs (which is gone). Teamviewer needs Wine/Mono as that is how the code is written. No way around it.

    Ok, then I'll try to create a "mirror" PPA.

    @shgnInc Because of Multiarch. TeamViewer was written for 32bit, and the 32bit files has no differences from the 64bit file, save for a few dependencies.

    I got some errors: pastebin.com/HeUyhAuh it's 32bit version on ubuntu x64 14.04. Actually TreamViewer used to work months ago. But I had to upgrade to new version because on Win 8 PC it upgraded by itself. So Now it is not working at all. Just I can't install it

Make sure you have wine installed, just like the answer in the link provided by @B. Roland. Wine is needed, because TeamViewer uses some.dll libraries provided by wine.

    I've already had Wine(1.6) installed. Your answer didn't help, sorry and thank you. Please test your answers first!

  • Have you tried installing the dependencies that always helps. Package 'bluez-alsa:i386 is not installed. Package libgettextpo0 is not installed. ia32-libs-multiarch depends on gstreamer0.10-plugins-good; however: Package gstreamer0.10-plugins-good:i386 is not installed. Package gtk2-engines is not installed. Package gtk2-engines-murrine is not installed. Package gtk2-engines-pixbuf is not installed. Package gtk2-engines-oxygen is not installed. Package ibus-gtk is not installed. Package libaio1:i386 is not installed.'

  • wine is for "exe" files, teamviewer comes with preconfigured wine version, so - simply use 32 bit version
