Now that I have helped my clueless friend, Slick Willie, I can log out. Now you can perform most anything that you could if you were sitting directly in front of his machine. After a few moments you should be greeted with a remote desktop display. Now type in the password he gave you and press "log on". After trying to connect to his machine, it will open a password dialog box. We want to put his ID number into the right side of the Teamviewer window where it says Partner ID,Īnd then click the blue "Connect to partner" button. In the case of Slick Willie, his ID 924 627 759 and his Password 8796. Once we have received this information, we can set to work getting our person of need some help. We will need their ID and Password from the left side of the Teamviewer window. Lucky for us, Slick Willie is using our favorite Linux Distro.įor us to log into someone else's system, we have to get some information from them. Teamviewer runs on Linux, Mac, Windows and mobile devices Android, iOS, and Windows Phone 8. If Slick Willie was running that other OS, commonly named after a glass product, then he should head over to and download it for himself. Let's not forget that in order to use Teamviewer to help Slick Willie, both Slick Willie and I have to be running Teamviewer. Because it is not always convenient to drop everything, hop in the car/plane/boat and go to his place, I suggest that we use Teamviewer and take care of his problem. Slick Willie lives across town, country, or on the other side of this great planet. Let's say that "Slick Willie" has asked me to help him on his machine. Which side of the window you need to be using will depend on who is helping whom. On the right side will be the client's (remote) machine, and on the left side will be the local machine. The screen is divided into two main sections. This is the window that you will use when connecting to a remote user's machine.
After agreeing to it, you will be presented with the main window. The first time you run Teamviewer, it will ask you to accept its EULA. The most current version of Teamviewer is version 7-1 as of this writing. You will find Teamviewer in the Internet section of your menu. Yes, It is really that easy.Īlways make sure to reload your package list in Synaptic before installing any software.Īctually, once you have Teamviewer installed, you can run it without messing with any setting at all. Mark Teamviewer for installation then click the "Apply" and "Apply" again and wait for it to be installed on your system. Type Teamviewer in the search box and click on the search button. You can remotely control your friend's or partner's PC as if you were sitting right in front of it. TeamViewer is a software program that establishes connections between your computer (at your home or office) and any other PC all around the world within just a few seconds.
