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

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.

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.

    • Windows 11 reaches a new all-time high share among gamers

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Windows 11 reaches a new all-time high share among gamers by Taras Buria The results of the June 2025 Steam Hardware & Software Survey are now available on the official website, showing Windows 11's continuous growth among gamers and the steady decline of Windows 10 ahead of the end of support. Valve reports that in June 2025, the almost-four-year-old Windows 11 holds nearly 60% of all PC users on Steam. It currently has a market share of 59.84%, which is a 1.54-point increase over the May 2025 results. Windows 10 has 35.69% (-1.31 point), and 64-bit Windows 7 nearly went extinct—only 0.09% of all Steam users who participated in the survey reported using the operating system that Microsoft stopped supporting years ago (the latest Steam client also no longer works in Windows 7). With Microsoft offering Windows 10 users free security updates for one more year, the outgoing OS is expected to stick around for a while longer on the gaming market and among regular users as well. Worldwide, Windows 11 has nearly caught up to Windows 10, as StatCounter reported earlier. Overall, 95.67% of the survey participants use Windows on their gaming machines (+0.22 points). Linux is second with 2.57% (-0.12 points), and macOS is third with 1.76% (-0.09 points). On the hardware side, the most popular PC configuration has 16GB of RAM (43.05%), a 6-core CPU (29.50%), an Nvidia RTX 4060 Laptop graphics card (4.79%), 8GB of VRAM (33.92%), and a 1080p monitor (55.54%). In June, the laptop variant of the RTX 4060 became the most popular GPU on Steam, taking over the desktop RTX 3060 with its 4.42% market share. Speaking of GPUs, Nvidia holds an overwhelming 74.07% share, while AMD has 17.68%, and Intel is third with 7.88%. Intel remains the most popular CPU vendor with a 59.29% share, while AMD has 40.71%.

      Does it mean that the game will have weapons now? If that is the case, I'm interested. Not having weapons does not make any sense, even if it changes the gameplay. In such a hostile environment the first thing anyone would do is get as much weapons as they could.
    • This DDR5-6400 CL36 32GB RGB RAM that supports both AMD and Intel is only $72

      This DDR5-6400 CL36 32GB RGB RAM that supports both AMD and Intel is only $72 by Sayan Sen Recently, we covered several SSD deals, both internal and external. These include the Crucial X9 Pro and X10 Pro, the P310 2280, and the Samsung 990 EVO Plus. Meanwhile if you are looking for RAM to upgrade your desktop PC or build a new one, the PNY XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X RGB DDR5-6400 Kit can be your go-to choice as it is currently just $72 (purchase link down below). In terms of specs, this dual-RAM kit delivers 32GB of total DDR5 capacity (each module is 16GB) running at 3200 Hz to deliver 6400 MT/s (PC5-51200) at 1.4 volts. Pre-programmed Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO memory overclocking preset profiles mean you can fire up the kit to its rated speed with a simple BIOS tweak, rather than having to deal with manual timing adjustments. The CAS latency for this DDR5-6400 kit is 36, which is quite tight for a preset profile. Thermal performance is said to be stellar thanks to the aluminum heat spreader, which should help dissipate heat during extended gaming sessions. Additionally, the heat spreader is also said to feature an "embossed pennant design that enhances the overall look and complements the lighting of other components." Speaking of lighting, the included EPIC-X RGB model features ARGB LEDs diffused through a geometric polymer light pipe and allows syncing via Asus Aura Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light, or ASRock Polychrome Sync software. Get the PNY RAM at the link below: PNY XLR8 Gaming Epic-X RGB™ 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 RAM 6400 CL36-48-48-104 Desktop Memory Kit (MD32GK2D5640036XRGB): $72.24 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (MSRP: $109.99) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.
