I hope you are still active and could respond to my query,

You could try using –skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va –nofiles –nodigest
Which OS distribution you using? and version?
Hi，have you solved the problem? I have the same problem . Can you offer me some suggestions?
Trying to start teamviewer I was replied as:
[ed@hp ~/team]$ teamviewer
/opt/teamviewer9/tv_bin/script/tvw_exec: line 8: 300: Bad file descriptor
flock: 300: Bad file descriptor
————
[ed@hp ~/team]$ uname -a
Linux hp 2.6.18-348.el5 #1 SMP Wed Nov 28 21:22:00 EST 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Are there any comments?
Hi,
have the same error here.
I think you use the tcsh-shell.
Have a look at the limit command.
There is a part descriptors, which might be to low.
Set it to 300 or more, because it is needed by the teamviewer start script.
Have a look at tvw_exec there is a part with “exec >> 300” which cause the error.
If you don’t want to set it, you can create a litte startscript for teamviewer with
csh -c ‘limit descriptors 512 && teamviewer’
It will create a newcsh-session with higher descriptors just for teamviewer.
Teamviewer appeared to install ok without errors, see below:

**********************************************
And yet whenever I look for it in the menu either under “Internet” or under “All Applications” it doesn’t appear. Also if I type the application name “Teamviewer” in Menu search, all it comes up with is the install package. So I run with and without “sudo”. With, I get:
Init…
Checking setup…
Launching TeamViewer …
but nothing seems to happen
and without “sudo” teamviewer starts but then almost immediately crashes and the only clue I get is the normal teamviewer window, except there’s a message at the bottom left of the “TeamViewer” window stating: “Not ready. Please check your connection”. Teamviewer then appears to crash after approximately five or seconds.
I’m running the following (live) version/distro:
Linux mint 3.11.0-12-generic #19-Ubuntu
Does anyone have any info on this for me, please !
Thank you !
Bob
Thank You very much!
Tutorial is solid. My only issue is that the server shows its connected, and goes thru the motions of a connection for the display from the client, client shows connecting, but nothing. It worked prior to changing over to Fedora 20. I have noticed that 9 has more options then previous verions of 8 that was installed w/my fedora 19 installation (which had no issues connecting from my SG3 to my pc.
worked charm on my centos 6.5. Thank you guys.
Hi, thanks so much for your tutorial. I successfully installed teamviewer on my Centos System using the cmd line, and I can start it using “teamviewer” with the following result;
[ root@src]# teamviewer
Init…
Checking setup…
Launching TeamViewer…
But, after this, nothing happens. I can’t view the teamviewer interface. Is there something I am missing?
N.B: My system does not have any GUI installed.
Thanks
You must have X windows to launch any graphical interface. install GUI
