  1. Try this. Ammyy Admin is a powerful multi-task solution for remote desktop sharing, remote computer administration and distance learning from any location in the World.

    1. Ammyy is a windows program, this is a linux forum. Are you a spammer, or just sans clue?

  2. This doesn’t work on Mint 15, here’s the out put:

    sudo dpkg -i teamviewer*.deb
    Selecting previously unselected package teamviewer.
    (Reading database … 149372 files and directories currently installed.)
    Unpacking teamviewer (from teamviewer_linux_x64.deb) …
    dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of teamviewer:
    teamviewer depends on libc6-i386 (>= 2.4); however:
    Package libc6-i386 is not installed.
    teamviewer depends on lib32asound2; however:
    Package lib32asound2 is not installed.
    teamviewer depends on lib32z1; however:
    Package lib32z1 is not installed.
    teamviewer depends on ia32-libs; however:
    Package ia32-libs is not installed.

    dpkg: error processing teamviewer (–install):
    dependency problems – leaving unconfigured
    Errors were encountered while processing:
    teamviewer

        1. If you’re sure your Linux Mint is 64-bit and you installed the 64-bit TeamViewer, you may get broken dependencies and here is a fix on Linux Mint forums

          Run uname -m to check 32-bit (i686) or 64-bit (x86_86).

  3. Adding the ppa and forcing the install of all 131 extra packages did it. Thanks a bunch for the advice, Panda. It’s working.

  4. Hi Gomer, what ppa did you add… I am having the same issue.. Thanks in advance for the help…

    2. It’s Wine Team PPA mentioned in the previous link. To add the PPA, run:

      sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa

      sudo apt-get update
