TeamViewer 8 No Longer Beta in Linux

TeamViewer has decided to remove beta label on Linux Platform and this makes it a general release like in Windows and Mac platform. The latest version contains more improvements and fixes as well:

Version 8.0.17147
Enabled Basic Authentication for proxies
Webcams are now supported for video-streaming during meetings
Instead of four different RPM-packages one single package for all RPM-based distributions (RedHat, CentOS, Fedora, SUSE)
TeamViewer can now be installed on Multiarch systems (Debian 7, 64-bit)
Fixed issues during the installation of TeamViewer
Fixed some issues where the TeamViewer daemon did not start automatically after system bootup
Fixed issues with incoming and LAN connections
Various other minor fixes and improvements

I will update my SlackBuild script to match this version and then pushed it on my SlackHacks for more review later on

TeamViewer 8 Beta for Linux

TeamViewer 8 has been released, but unfortunately, it's only released on Windows and Mac. Linux version is still stuck at version 7 and it's not yet compatible with the latest version on another platform.

My Windows machine on the office has been upgraded to version 8 and when i tried to connect to that machine from my Linux system which is still running version 7, it says that i should upgrade my TeamViewer installation to latest version. I have been using the tar.gz binary file to install TeamViewer, but TeamViewer 8 Beta for Linux is only provided on DEB and RPM format, so i had to rely on Binh's SlackBuild script on SBo project which converted from DEB to TGZ format.

The problem is that TeamViewer 8 has some path changes as well as service addon. Right now, we need to make sure that teamviewer daemon (teamviewerd) is started before we launch the main TeamViewer application. I have successfully modified the SlackBuild to work with TeamViewer 8 and i'm planning to push it to my SlackHacks repository, but first, i would like to ask for his permission first. When it's approved, you will see it on my SlackHacks soon enough :)

TeamViewer

I must say, i'm so impressed with TeamViewer application. It's not an open source application, but it's available to Windows, Linux, and Macintosh platform. It's even available for Mobile platform, such as Android and iPad.

So, what does it do? Basically TeamViewer is an application that connects your computer anytime anywhere as long as you have Internet connection. Even if you are behind a proxy or firewalls, this application works out of the box without having it's user to configure anything. All you need is an account which can be registered instantly and it's free. You can then use this application to help other people (remote support), online presentation, and to control your computer remotely.

I have tried to use this application on Windows, Linux, and iPad and they all works perfectly just like what i need. It's really an impressive application.

Try it and prove it. I believe you will like this application as much as i do.
