Hi All

I have installed Teamviewer in ubuntu 10.10 (not through wine but as a debain package), there is an option in Teamviewer that saves the sessions and connections logs, where can i locate those logs, i am looking for the path in ubuntu

Also is there any other log files i can access to determine the remote sessions to and from my ubuntu machine, Ive checked the one in Ubuntu i.e system >administartion>s system logs, but under auth log and any other log category they reflect logs for only last two days not extended logs. like a month or two back

Any help on this Guys???????

On my computer (Debian) Teamviewer logs and settings are saved in the following location(s):

Teamviewer 6

$HOME/.teamviewer/6

Teamviewer 7

$HOME/.teamviewer/7

Your home folder is full of hidden folders for user specific settings for all of your software. Since most software is ran as you, and not root, you don't have write access to the installation location of the software or /var/log, so a .software folder is created in your home folder. Kind of like the hidden folder C:\Users\username\AppData in Windows. In Linux/Unix, any folder or filename that begins with a period is hidden from view. If you check the option to "Show hidden files and folders" in whatever file browser you're using, and then go to your home folder, you'll see a ton of hidden folders with personalized settings for all of the software you've ever ran under your username.

Hi Budman/ gerowin

I found the logs in $HOME/.teamviewer/6 dir. Apart from this, where in /usr/var/log/ can be the logs for remote sessions by teamviewer. which folders or files i mean. I am attaching the screenshot of my directory below. Can you please point out..

My log files are kept in $HOME/.teamviewer/7/logfiles. As far as I know, nothing is stored in /var/log for Teamviewer on Linux. Since it looks like you're using Teamviewer 6, there's an identical directory for version 6, $HOME/.teamviewer/7/logfiles . These folders are symbolic links to other locations that are several layers deep, but browsing to them will get you to your log files.

    • This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time by Sayan Sen Recently we covered a really good deal on an AMD RX 9070 three-fan model that's available at slightly above its MSRP. If you are looking for a GPU for 1440p gaming that's around the performance of the Nvidia RTX 5070 you should most definitely check it out. Let's say that you are looking for a monitor to pair that up with too. The Samsung 49" G9 curved QD-OLED superultrawide is a good option that can provide an immersive experience. However despite being a very good deal currently (at $855), it may seem unaffordable to you, or you may simply not want to spend as much on a monitor. In that case Dell's S2725QS can be a very good option as it's on sale at the moment for its lowest price in over six months (purchase link under the specs table down below). The big highlight of the Dell S2725QS is its 27-inch IPS panel with a 3840 x 2160 (4K UHD) resolution, offering a high pixel density that can make text appear sharper while also providing plenty of screen space for productivity and media consumption. The display supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz through both HDMI and DisplayPort, making it suitable not only for everyday desktop use but also for smoother gaming and scrolling. AMD FreeSync Premium support is included as well, helping reduce screen tearing during gaming sessions. The screen has fairly good brightness and color accuracy so you can use it for general work purpose, though photo/video editing is probably not going to be the best match for this. The technical specs of the Dell S2725QS are given in the table below: Specification Value Viewable Screen Size 27 in (68.58 cm) Screen Mode 4K UHD Maximum Resolution 3840 × 2160 Maximum Preset Resolution 3840 × 2160 @ 120 Hz Standard Refresh Rate 120 Hz Panel Technology In-plane Switching (IPS) Backlight Technology LED Edgelight System Pixel Density 163 PPI Response Time 8 ms GTG, 5 ms GTG, 4 ms GTG Horizontal Viewing Angle 178° Vertical Viewing Angle 178° Brightness 350 cd/m² (nits) Native Contrast Ratio 1500:1 Color Support 1.07 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% sRGB (CIE 1931) Adaptive Sync AMD FreeSync Premium HDCP Support Yes Mount Type Panel Mount VESA Mount 100 × 100 mm Maximum Height Adjustment 13 cm Tilt -5° to 21° Swivel -30° to 30° Pivot ±90° Stand Adjustments Tilt, Swivel, Height, Pivot Glass Hardness 3H Horizontal Frequency 27–270 kHz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Vertical Frequency 48–120 Hz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Video Inputs 2 × HDMI 2.1 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3), 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3) Operating Temperature 0°C to 40°C Storage Temperature -20°C to 60°C Operating Humidity 10%–80% (Non-condensing) Storage Humidity 5%–95% (Non-condensing) Get it at the link below: Dell S2725QS 27-inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor: $218.49 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $280) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
