Can't install TeamViewer on Ubuntu 12.04
- by Roel
I have a Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop. I was a Windows user but I want to start using Ubuntu from now on. Everything goes well except installation of the teamviewer. I have downloaded the file from the official website. There, it says that just double click on the *.deb file and it will install it automatically. Well, it gives an error:
Failed to remove essential system package, You requested to remove a
package which is an essential part of your system.
Then I tried the second way of installation, which is on the terminal. I types as suggested: sudo dpkg -i teamviewer_linux.deb. It started installing but later on failed. HEre is the copy of the screen.

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of teamviewer7:i386:

dpkg: error processing teamviewer7:i386 (--install):

Errors were encountered while processing:

I have already checked these dependent files in Synaptic and they are all installed.
What am I doing wrong?
