HI there,

Yea, that’s an issue, which I have noticed on my F34, if I check updates.
I haven’t had time to check the prob.
Maybe as temporarly solution you can install Teamviewer due Flatpak.
Hi,
The command should be:
sudo dnf -y install teamviewer.x86_64.rpm
Thanks Tom.
yep
here the link to download it … it seams to be an 404 the error you posted.
https://download.teamviewer.com/download/linux/teamviewer.x86_64.rpm
Yes, there is an alternative: “anydesk”
it works on linux [1], windows, Mac, android, … and is significant smaller then teamviewer (win binaries: factor 10)
anydesk has the same developer as teamviewer has/had
[1]
on F32 (F33 ???) you can fetch the rpm.
onward from > F32 you need anydesk from flatpak, cause of missing graphic lib or such to run the rpm-version
https://www.flathub.org/apps/details/com.anydesk.Anydesk
on F33 or F34 I sometimes noticed that flatpak-anydesk doesn’t end itself when shutting it off (see sys-monitor)
the file transfer is somewhat un-handy…, but it works.
Ah cool thanks,
Do they have a free version like teamviewer?
Thanks a lot for your help.
it worked any now I can download it, and it runs great.
So why did i need the -y before the word install in the command ?
also I get this error now when I update
It is not an error … it is an information that “failovermethod” is not valid. Check the file mentioned in the Message and try to make # in front of failovermethod=priority like this # failovermethod=priority
and see if you get the message again.
Thanks a lot, its gone now. I had a feeling I should have done that but was worried it might not be correct.
I am just wondering why when i run sudo dnf update it does not update the apps in the filesystem I have.
But when i goto to the software centre it wants me to update them. See below…
I would like to know how to do this from the terminal as the software centre doesnt seem to update them
up to now it’s free for personal use
first I need to say: I’m not using software center.
But what I know:
they should be synchron [1]
to check that compare the enabled repos under software center with what you get from
grep enabled=1 /etc/yum.repos.d/*
[1]
a
sudo dnf update --refresh
and the refresh button in software center should give the same output e.g. the same packages needing updates.
see: man dnf
great thanks I executed that command and i got the following output
And then i ran update but the software centre didnt get updated.
do you see in software center a big update ~600MB or so named “OS…” ?
if yes: run in an terminal
sudo flatpak update
after that run an refresh in the software center ( the circular arrow in the top bar)
Yes it worked thanks a million @sixpack13.
Your are such great help.
I am making notes of these commands in my book.
I did run into this error though…
Sorry for all the questions.
Also is there a simple way to do a backup like with time shift or something similar in-case I need to do a rollback?
I wanted to install “Snapper” so I could rollback in GRUB menu should an update damage some features/hardware drivers but I was very confused on the steps
for the dnf case: please read “man dnf” (keywords “history”)
for the flatpak case: no idea
FWIW, I’m maintaining a package of teamviewer for myself here: teamviewer.spec · master · Greysector / RPMs / teamviewer · GitLab . The SELinux policy is unsafe, but it works. Patches welcome.
Thats really great to know thanks a lot
