We’ll assume you’ve already set up SSH and know how to connect. If you’re not at the device and TeamViewer isn’t authenticating, just connect to it with SSH.

So, if you’re at the device, just open the terminal. If you’re physically at the computer, why are you using TeamViewer?!? If you’re physically at the computer, you can just restart it with the GUI – or you can use the terminal. It just depends on which terminal, I suppose!Īnyhow, this is just a short article. After all, you might choose to do it locally – where this will also work. Well, no… I have no idea how you’ll be doing it. So, you’re doing it from the terminal – you’re just doing it remotely and using SSH to do that. I actually do this with SSH, but it’ll work in the terminal. The only way to make it work, without visiting the device in person, is to restart it. The reality is, I like TeamViewer quite a bit but it has a nasty habit of failing during the authentication step. In a previous article, I wrote about TeamViewer, and this article will teach you how to restart TeamViewer from the terminal.
