Linux Mint Forums

I need to use teamviewer for various reasons and I keep getting a popup dialogue "reminding" me that teamviewer is still running in the background(I KNOW IT'S RUNNING I RAN IT HAHA) and yet it says to click here to disable this popup but it doesn't work and I have to wait several seconds before it goes away and it continues to come up every once in a while, due to it's location it interferes with things I am working with.

Basically, does anyone have an idea of how I can disable this super crazy annoying reminder that shouldn't even exist. I've checked all the internal options and was unable to find anything. This isn't really relating to Linux Mint as it's been the same issue on many distros I've used in the past, but perhaps someone here would know a workaround.

There's none that I know of. It annoys me to no end as well, but something you could do is create a virtual desktop window, move TV to it, and then leave it in its maximized state. That's the only way that bubble doesn't show. I emailed the TV team about it directly, and they said something to the effect of they'll look into it and based on demand, may or may not provide a fix.

Bah! Humbug! Thanks for the reply, I assumed it'd likely be something like that. By virtual desktop window, do you mean a virtual machine?

I think it's connected to he fact that Teamviewer is using windows binary inside linux through a custom wine thing. Most of the options in its option panel (like disabling such message) are totally useless.

Same problem here, but in MINT 16 amd64 XFCE, have you found any solutions yet?

I've just mailed TV and waiting for answer.

Having the same problem on Kubuntu 13.10.

You might have a look at your ".config"-Directory, e.g. "~/.config/teamviewer9/config/"

There's a file named "client.conf" that contains the "registry" of TeamViewer on Linux (they seem not to be using Wine's registry). Add the line to the end, this worked for me (on Windows, TeamViewer generates this setting in it's "HKCU/Software/TeamViewer/Version9" key when clicking on the balloon.

[int32] ShowTaskbarInfoOnMinimize = 0

Thanks! Did the trick.

I also have to say thanks guys

Brilliant! Worked for me too on Linux Mint 13-64bit MATE. Thanks.

Worked on Kubuntu 13.10. Thank you, 21347.

It worked on OpenSUSE, thanks much! I've found this file in the following path on my machine: /etc/teamviewer/user/client.conf

Notice: TeamViewer should be disabled when you add this string. Otherwise it will be removed when you close TeamViewer.

Oh! Thanks a lot! Those messages were really annoying.
