Hello,
Hmmm on which O.S. Platform you are trying ???
Can you please provide me exact output when you tries to run Teamviewer and what issues you are getting??
Teamviewer 6 installed and also its icon appeared in the internet menu, but by clicking on the icon or typing teamviewer on terminal nothing happened as root user. And when tried as a normal user on terminal it displayed junk characters and nothing happened there after.
I also tried all of your solutions but still have the same problem
Its good to know that it worked for you.
