'teamviewer depends on (...)' while trying to install TeamViewer [duplicate]

Question

I recently got Ubuntu installed on my server, I wanted to install TeamViewer so i could easy manage the virtual machines, However, I get errors when installing it from App store?, And I also get errors, but more detailed on the terminal.

Error output:

tek@tek-G53SW:~/Download$ sudo dpkg -i ipts teamviewer_linux_x64.deb

From the line saying "replacing" it looks as if TeamViewer is already installed.

If it isn't, run (in a terminal):

sudo apt-get -f install

and then

sudo apt-get install libc6-i386 lib32asound2 lib32z1 ia32-libs

and try installing the .deb with

sudo dpkg -i teamviewer_linux_x64.deb

If nothing works, and only if nothing works, you can force installation, but you will most probably BREAK APT:

sudo dpkg --force-depends -i teamviewer_linux_x64.deb

Note that this is far from ideal.

@Teknikk Please see edits to my post. Hopefully the new command works. If not, try sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch.

This is on the TeamViewer site.

Notes to Multiarch: On newer 64-bit DEB-systems with Multiarch-support (Debian 7) teamviewer_linux_x64.deb cannot be installed because the package ia32-libs is not available anymore on these systems. In this case you can use teamviewer_linux.deb instead.

In case you get the error “wrong architecture i386” you have to execute the following command lines:

dpkg --add-architecture i386

apt-get update

For further information: http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/HOWTO

I run teamviewer 7 on ubuntu 12.04 64 bit without any problems.

All that I did to install it was to download the file direct from the Teamviewer website selecting the correct version (i.e. Ubuntu 64 bit) and just opened the file and the software centre installed it for me without any issues.

But looking at your error output I would just install all the missing dependencies. Go into the Software Centre and search for each of the missing items and install them before trying to install teamviewer again. Remember in software centre to click on "show technical item" at the bottom left of the screen.

Hopefully this will work for you.

Best of luck.

For ubuntu 16.04 the following commands worked for me

sudo apt-get install libz1:i386 libncurses5:i386 libbz2-1.0:i386 libstdc++6:i386

after running the above I then had to run : 'sudo apt-get -f install' That ran through and finished the teamviewer installation. Note: I had already run the 'sudo dpkg -i ./teamviewer_13.0.9865_i386.deb command before doing all this.

There is another option - not the best but it will get you working in Teamviewer.

If you have created a Teamviewer account via their website you can use the web login to remotely access other computers - it is only an outward connection so you can't use it to allow someone else to remotely access your computer but it will at least allow you to access others.

Sorry you are having so much trouble - all your new errors are above my knowledge base sorry.

Just check whether teamviewer has already installed in your system by typing dpkg -l | grep team

If so kindly remove it totally then install the supported dependencies and reinstall again using sudo dpkg --force-depends -i teamviewer_i386.deb You may find this article helpful. http://bizgolive.com/blog/teamviewer-installation-in-lubuntu-from-command-line-dependency-error-fixed/
