Hi All,
I have just installed XBMCBuntu 13.0 and upgraded it to 13.2 according to the notes in the wiki.
All working great.
I have tried to install Teamviewer, 64 and 32bit, but I can't seem to find out how to do that.
I know nothing about Linux, I am more a Windows man, but I want to know how to do this.
I tried double-clicking the downloaded file, but whatever I choose doesn't install it.
I tried dpkg -i teamviewer_linux_x64.deb but that gives me errors, some stuff missing.
I didn't find the right solution with Google.
Can anybody point me into the right way to do this?

I have ask why? Not needed or desired on xbmcbuntu I would have thought.
Anyway, try installing the packages it says are missing. Use apt-get.

Thanks.
Why?
Sometimes I want to control the box from the laptop and sometimes my wife calls me to ask me things about where movies are etc and then I can help her with Teamviewer on my iPhone.
I understand I have to install the missing ... but how?

Aha, this helped.
So first I typed this:
sudo -dpkg - teamviewer_linux_64.deb
and that gave me errors that were useless to me.
Then I tried the 32 bit version:
sudo -dpkg - teamviewer_linux.deb
and this showed me the missing components.
Then I tried to install 1 of them:
sudo apt-get install libc6
and that showed me other errors and a tip to install the missing parts with sudo apt-get -f install
So:
sudo apt-get -f install
and that installed all missing components
Then:
sudo -dpkg - teamviewer_linux.deb
And now this works.
This is cool :-)
Thanks.

not sure why you'd want to install 32bit teamviewer on 64bit linux, but good it works for you.

Because the 64bit version gave me errors ... I tried it again to reproduce the errors and now I see that I made a typo :-(
Guess now I will have to figure out how to uninstall the 32bit stuff.

Ah, thanks.
Should I remove the 32bit version of Teamviewer first or just install the 64bit version?
And if no, how do I remove software on XBMCbunbtu?

I thought you said it was working? If so, leave it alone.

Yes, but maybe it's better to use the 64Bit version.

Okay, I found how to uninstall Teamviewer:
sudo dpkg -r Teamviewer9
To install the 64bit version, I tried this:
sudo dpkg -i teamviewer_linux_x64.deb
I get:
Selecting previously unselected package teamviewer9.
(Reading database ... 123742 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack teamviewer_linux_x64.deb ...
Unpacking teamviewer9 (9.0.32150) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of teamviewer9:
teamviewer9 depends on lib32asound2; however:
Package lib32asound2 is not installed.
teamviewer9 depends on ia32-libs; however:
Package ia32-libs is not installed.
dpkg: error processing package teamviewer9 (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
teamviewer9
It says lib32asound2 is missing, so then:
sudo apt-get install lib32asound2
I get this:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package lib32asound2 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
Back to the 32bit version, at least that works.
Maybe 1 day I will know more about Linux.

I just installed kodibuntu from usb flash drive to my HHD. Install went without incident. Kodi worked fine. I want to work to install Teamviewer for remote access,
I went to the Chrome browser and downloaded the correct file for Teamview Ubuntu. I double-clicked on the file. A DOS-like dialog box opened up and I could see it was trying to install TV. I saw several errors.
I looked back on the TV website where it states,"If this is not the case and, e.g. the Archive Manager opens up, open the context menu instead (right-click on the downloaded package). Depending on your distribution you will get different possibilities to install the package, e.g. “Open with software installation”, “Open with GDebi package installer”, “Open with Ubuntu Software Center”, or “Open with> QApt package installer”"
My total experience with Ubuntu is the installation of Kodi. Can someone either help me or point me in the correct direction?
