TeamViewer on Gentoo

[kamil-homer]

Hello I'm trying to install TeamViewer via Emerge. However I'm getting some packages error.

`demouser@pi64 ~ $ emerge --ask net-misc/teamviewer

Local copy of remote index is up-to-date and will be used. This action requires superuser access... Would you like to add --pretend to options? [Yes/No] yes

• Last emerge --sync was 37d 19h 38m 59s ago.

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

I'm not Linux pro user and I can't figure out how to solve it. Any tips?

The above output is telling you that the teamviewer ebuild refuses to be installed on a system (like yours) which has consolekit present (and which, therefore, 'blocks' it). The relevant line is this one.

The underlying reason the block was put there by the ebuild author, is because the package (presumably) wants either full systemd, or elogind (systemd's logind extracted to a standalone package) to manage login sessions etc., rather than consolekit. See later in the ebuild for some further colour on this.

This is really an upstream issue: if you post a question to the Gentoo forums about installing teamviewer on a system with OpenRC init and consolekit installed, someone may be able to assist.

Note that in general, switching over to elogind is somewhat easier than a wholesale switch to systemd. Any of these alternatives is possible within Gentoo, but will require some recompilation work (as they aren't the native setup for this image).

net-misc/teamviewer seems not support arm

As mentioned, the best course here would be to post in the Gentoo forums, since this is really an upstream issue. Closing this now.
