[SOLVED] How to reinstall Teamviewer?

[niemand]

I installed Teamviewer 9 on Mageia 3. It launches and then shuts down after a few seconds. I tried executing the following line again:

Code: Select all

/sbin/urpmi --allow-force --allow-nodeps teamviewer_linux.rpm

But it says that teamviewer 9 is already installed.

--allow-force --allow-nodeps are not needed with teamviewer9, and you may miss a required dependency that way, that could already be the reason why it doesn't work properly.
To reinstall a package, use --replacepkgs

But the problem could probably be with the profile, not with teamviewer itself. Please move away/rename ~/.config/teamviewer*/ folders and try again.

I'm now trying to replacepkgs teamviewer, but am getting the following message regarding bad signature:

Code: Select all

$ sudo /sbin/urpmi --replacepkgs teamviewer_linux.rpm

warning: teamviewer_linux.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 72db573c: NOKEY
The following package has bad signature:
teamviewer_linux.rpm: Invalid signature (NOT OK (no key): teamviewer_linux.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 72db573c: NOKEY)
Do you want to continue installation ? (y/N)

What's the right thing to do?

I also recall that during the first install, there was one more message saying something to the effect that "zz_LibreOffice" was a bad mime-type.

What was amiss there?

Thanks.

It has no signature, so you get a warning, and are asked if you want to continue.
If you don't, you cannot use teamviewer, so that's your choice.

Now I'm getting the second error, which for some reason references LibreOffice Writer:

Code: Select all

installing teamviewer_linux.rpm
Preparing...                     #############################################
      1/1: teamviewer            #############################################
Error in file "/usr/share/applications/libreoffice-writer.desktop": "zz-application/zz-winassoc-wps" is an invalid MIME type ("zz-application" is an unregistered media type)

What to do now?

[doktor5000]

Nothing, this doesn't have anything to do with Teamviewer, it's a problem with Libreoffice about it's MIME definitions. You could report that as bug, after searching if it hasn't been reported yet already: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/How_to_report_a_bug_properly

Thanks. It's working now.

Niemand, please be so kind to mark the topic solved.

How is that done?

Just edit the first message in the topic.
Place [SOLVED] in front of the title, that's all.
