...the very same question was done few days ago, getting the latest Teamviewer 13 under Mint 17.x, so I'll just point there:
viewtopic.php?p=1400775#p1400775

All in all:
1) Either update to Mint 18.x...(which is Ubuntu 16.04-based, and already contains the required libraries)...
2) Or else, try using a PPA for QT 5.5, as per suggestion in TeamViewer's forums...

this already happened on the 8th of december here...:
viewtopic.php?f=237&t=259068

so i basically fixed the same issue with this:
1) downloaded the installation .deb file from tw.com
2) installed it via terminal: "sudo dpkg -i tw_6.6.etc.deb"
3) after it gave errors, i ran this command: "sudo aptitude install libqt5dbus5" (and then pressed No until it offered me to install "libqt5core5a" and 16 others...)
4) then all was ok

although this might work when the libqt5dbus5 package is already removed (which i managed to do...)

Hi "hltr", & Anyone Else interested in using TeamViewer,

I just read your post and the good replies to it. Here are my thoughts on this as well.

"TeamViewer" (TV) is absolutely one of the best and easiest to install and use remote control, remote access, applications available on any computer operating system platform.

BUT, Teamviewer installs a "teamviewerd" service (daemon) in Linux that is always running in the background whether you are running the TV application or not which could be a security risk.

You can temporarily disable this Teamviewer service (daemon) using the console terminal command below.

Code: Select all

sudo service teamviewerd stop
To start the teamviewer service before starting the application, run the command below. I am not sure if just starting the application would restart the service too.

Code: Select all

sudo service teamviewerd start
To see what "services" are running, use the console terminal command below. Services listed with a plus sign "+" are active and running, services with a minus dash sign "-" are not running, not active.

Code: Select all

service --status-all


Hope this helps ...
