first of all I am new to Ubuntu but not for Linux and this is my first question or problem to be asked.. and thank you guys in advance and i know all kind of these maybe asked and solved before, but i couldn't find something worked with me.. *note: i tried to execute it with root permission and it worked but i think it kind of dangerous.. so i want something normal

so when i run teamviewer normally it doesn't launch ! it shows me this

user@user:~$ teamviewer

Init...
XRandRWait: No value set. Using default.
XRandRWait: Started by user.
Checking setup...
chmod: changing permissions of '/home/user/.config/teamviewer': Operation not permitted
chmod: changing permissions of '/home/user/.local/share/teamviewer11/logfiles': Operation not permitted
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/home/user/.local/share/teamviewer11/dosdevices’: Permission denied

  • Did you install wine as superuser? What happens when you run teamviewer as superuser: sudo teamviewer? – negusp Nov 28 '16 at 15:33
  • Why use wine? Here is teamvier for Linux https://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/linux/ – Mark Kirby Nov 28 '16 at 16:12
  • @PatrickNegus .. im not sure if wine is a superuser.. how do i know? .. and this what happens when i run teamviewer as superuser Init... *** TeamViewer can not be executed with sudo! *** Either use your normal user account without sudo or use a the real root account to log in to your desktop (not recommended!). – AbduHus Nov 28 '16 at 21:53
  • @MarkKirby .. i did not use wine. i just launched it normally , and i did downloaded teamviewer from the same link u added – AbduHus Nov 28 '16 at 22:16
  • @MarkKirby I guess its packages for Linux but runs with Wine? http://askubuntu.com/questions/125153/team-viewer-on-ubuntu-is-it-running-through-wine – negusp Nov 29 '16 at 02:05
  • the thing is why does it work with root permission and does not work normally – AbduHus Nov 29 '16 at 12:01
