Teamviewer is not showing connect to partner button in slackware 14.2 stable
Hi ,
My teamviewer is not showing a "connect to partner" button nor i am not able to go to an invisible button by tab, its like that button is not there and i am not able to connect via teamviewer , i tried by simply hitting an enter button also but nothing happens, this error was there in previous 14.2 release candidates , currently i am using slackware 14.2 (64) stable and i downloaded the teamviewer from slackbuilds.org for 14.2 , and of course my system is multilib enabled. I am attaching the screenshot.
create a teamviewer account. login (and save it) at computers and contacts window (the right one in your print). go to add computer and add the computer you're trying to connect. just double click it now and enter the password. using in multilib slackware for months this way.
Got the same issue.
Solved by rebuilding few libraries with x32 support:
libpng:1.2
libXinerama
Initially thry had x64 support only.
The list of missed 32-bit libraries can be obtained by running "tv-setup install command" This command checks for dependencies and warns you for missed ones
I found: /opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/script/teamviewer_setup in /var/log/packages/teamviewer-11.0.67687-i486-1_SBo
When I ran opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/script/teamviewer_setup --help it listed `teamviewer_setup checklibs` as an option.
One of my problems is that I am missing a 32-bit libpng12 library !
I don't have libpng1.2 at all ... where did you find it ?
EDIT: to answer my own Q, I found it as SBo Package libraries/libpng-legacy12
Output below.
Thanks again !

How to use TeamViewer (tar.gz)
teamviewer run teamviewer directly
You can just extract the tar.gz package and run teamviewer without installation.
It will behave similar to a TeamViewer Portable or QuickSupport on Windows.
This should work if all necessary libraries (packages) are installed on your system.
tv-setup checklibs identify missing libraries
Run this command to identify missing libraries
You can then look for the matching packages and install them manually.
tv-setup install interactive installation
tv-setup install force no questions
A permanent installation with all the features of the RPM/DEB packages
(start menu entries, auto start, background daemon for permanent access)
tv-setup uninstall [force] undo previous (TAR) installation
Removes the package. Log files and configuration are not removed
Code:
# /opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/script/teamviewer_setup checklibs
-=- TeamViewer tar.gz check -=-
In order to use the tar.gz version of TeamViewer,
you have to make sure that the necessary libraries are installed.
NOTE: Most needed libraries are 32 bit libraries, even if you are on a 64 bit system!

Analyzing dependencies (64 bit)...
All 64 bit dependencies seem to be satisfied!
Analyzing dependencies (32 bit)...
libpng12.so.0 => not found
The 32 bit libraries listed above seem to be missing.
Please find and install the corresponding packages.
Then, run this command again.
I built the SBo Packages libraries/libpng-legacy12 as ( native ) x86_64 and as ARCH=i486 packages
Then I installed libpng-legacy12-1.2.56-i486-1_SBo.tgz AND libpng-legacy12-1.2.56-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz
TeamViewer now works for me on Slackware64 14.2 + MultiLib ( i.e. now it allows me to enter a Meeting Id ) !
No more WinDOS TV Sessions for me !

Gentoo provides a tool named "equery" that shows which package provides particular file.
For libpng12 it is libpng1.2 package. So I rebuilt libpng1.2 package with x32 support.
