TeamViewer is usually installed on Ubuntu using *.deb package. To uninstall it, run:
sudo apt remove teamviewer
If you also want to remove the package’s configuration (and you likely want if you are experiencing problems), use the following command instead:
sudo apt purge teamviewer
Then reinstall the *.deb file using apt
, gdebi
or similar method.
However, reinstalling might not solve your issue. If it doesn’t, please ask a new question and provide more details like what happens when you try to launch it. Try launching from the Terminal and check if any messages appear in the Terminal.

@engr_john I am not sure… If you have a new question, please ask it separately. Don’t forget to add details (e.g. are the machines in the same network?). This is the way how this site works. – Melebius Jul 10 '19 at 09:31
