<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;">Warning</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The <a href="http://www.androidpit.com/custom-roms-beginners-and-experienced-users" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_top">installation of custom ROMs</a> is risky, so if you do not follow the procedure properly, you can end up with an unusable phone. Back up all your data first, charge your battery and proceed with caution. Neither AndroidPIT nor myself will be held responsible for any damage done to your phone as a result of this process.</span><h2 style="font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;">Prerequisites</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'll assume that your Galaxy S2 (I9100) is <strong>rooted </strong>and you have already made a Nandroid backup of your system. If you're not rooted and are unsure how to root your Galaxy S2, check this <a href="http://www.androidpit.com/rooting-galaxy-s2" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_top">S2 root tutorial</a>. You should also backup your app data too as this process will wipe your device.</span><h2 style="font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;">Downloads</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><a href="http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=i9100&type=nightly" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Download the latest CM 11 Nightly for the Galaxy S2 I9100</a>. As always, there's nothing preventing you from flashing a newer version, once it is available.<br />Also download the Google applications package for KitKat: <a href="http://d-h.st/EIM" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">gapps-kk</a></span><h2 style="font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;">Install Android 4.4 on the Galaxy S2 KitKat with CM 11</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Since your S2 is rooted, we will use the good old custom recovery method. As a reminder, here is the procedure:<br />1. Download both zip files given above on your Galaxy S2.<br /><br />2. Place both files in the root directory of your S2.<br /><br />3. Turn off the Galaxy S2 and restart in Recovery Mode (Home + Power + Volume Up until the logo appears or the third vibration and release).<br /><br />4. Perform a factory reset by selecting and confirming the option "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" then "Wipe Cache". Some users prefer to ''Format System'' / ''Wipe Dalvik Cache'' at this point too.<br /><br />5. Then select "install zip from sd card" and locate the CM 11 zip you downloaded before.<br /><br />6. Click "Yes" to confirm.<br /><br />7. Next, flash the gapps zip file.<br /><br />8. Return to the main Recovery Menu and select "Reboot System Now".<br /><br />The first reboot on CM 11 may take a few minutes. Let us know how you like it!</span></section><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">Via:</b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"> </span><a href="http://www.xda-developers.com/android/phoenix-rises-from-the-ashes-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-receives-official-cyanogenmod-11-nightlies/" style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">XDA Developers</a><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"> </span><b style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">Source:</b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"> </span><a href="http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=i9100&type=nightly" style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">CyanogenMod </a><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;" /><b style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">Thanks to</b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"> </span><a href="http://www.androidpit.com/how-to-install-kitkat-on-galaxy-s2-with-cm-11" style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Androidpit </a></span>

However, there are a couple of ways to change this, so specific programs open on a different desktop, or so they remain present on all desktops.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first option is to assign a program to all desktops, which is the most straightforward option. To do this, simply add the program to the OS X Dock, then right-click it. In the contextual menu that appears, choose "All Desktops" in the "Assign To" section of the Options submenu. From now on when you open this program, its windows should always be on your screen, regardless of which desktop you switch to. This option may be useful for monitoring utilities such as Activity Monitor or the Finder.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />Finally, to undo these options for any program, you can right-click it and choose "All" in the "Assign to" contextual menu section. This will again have it be assigned to the active space only for its current session.The second option is to assign a program to a specific desktop, or "space." To do this, first invoke Mission Control (this can be done with the preassigned F-key configured on most <a href="http://www.cnet.com/apple-mac.html" section="luke_topic" style="border: 0px; color: #2964bf; cursor: pointer; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Mac</a>keyboards), then go to the desktop of choice. Then right-click the application in the Dock and choose "This desktop" from the same contextual menu. Now, regardless of the desktop you are on, if you open or switch to this application, you will be switched to its assigned desktop, unless a its window has been manually moved to the current desktop. This can be useful for keeping programs grouped by type or by function, such as word processing and spreadsheet programs so your office work can be kept sequestered.</span></div>

How to install SteamOS in VirtualBox

Unknown 7 How-to, Howto, News 11:18 AM

<img alt="SteamOS desktop, cropped" class="attachment-full wp-post-image" height="353" src="http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/steamos-desktop-featured-640x353.jpg" style="border-style: none; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;" width="640" /><br />
<div style="font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Late on Friday, December 13, Valve released the first public version of SteamOS. As you would expect, SteamOS is currently very rough around the edges — it is essentially just a version of Debian 7.1 (Wheezy) that has Steam pre-installed. As it stands, I can’t really recommend that you to install SteamOS on some dedicated hardware — it would be a waste of time. If you’re interested in Valve’s latest machination, though, and toying with what might be the future of gaming, it’s well worth installing SteamOS in VirtualBox. That’s what I did — and I’ve written a guide on how to install SteamOS in VirtualBox, if you feel like doing the same.</div>
<h3 style="font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22px;">
Brute force</h3>
<div style="font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
To begin with, it’s definitely not easy to install SteamOS in VirtualBox. Valve clearly didn’t intend for you to do this; you can’t just mount an ISO and install it, like a normal Linux distro. That isn’t to say that this is for experts only, though — even if you’re a Linux or VirtualBox newbie, as long as you follow this guide to the letter, you should have a working SteamOS installation within 30 minutes or so.</div>
<div style="font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<em>[This guide is for Windows XP/7/8, but if you can find a tool to create ISOs from folders or zip files for your operating system, it would work for OS X and Linux as well.]</em></div>
<div style="font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Begin by downloading everything. Grab the latest version of VirtualBox and install it (it may take some time.) Get <code>SteamOSInstaller.zip</code> from Valve. Download ISO Creator and install it.</div>
<div style="font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<img alt="SteamOS: ISO Creator" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-172899" height="287" src="http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/steamos-iso-creator.jpg" style="border-style: none;" width="420" /></div>
<div style="font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Extract <code>SteamOSInstaller.zip</code> into its own folder. Open ISO Creator. You can name the ISO whatever you like, just make sure you save the ISO in a sensible location. Select the folder that you extracted the zip file to. Hit Start and wait a minute or two while the ISO is created.</div>
<div style="font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<img alt="SteamOS: Making a VirtualBox virtual hard drive" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-172907" height="410" src="http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/steamos-virtualbox-creat-virtual-machine.jpg" style="border-style: none;" width="362" /></div>
<div style="font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Now open VirtualBox. This bit is somewhat complex with lots of little steps and gotchas, so be careful. Create a New virtual machine. Give it any name. Type = Linux. Version = Debian (64 bit). Click Next. Pick any amount of memory (1GB is sensible if you’re just going to fool around; 4GB if you want to try out DOTA 2 or something). Accept the default options on the next few pages of the wizard, and choose “Dynamically allocated” when prompted. Pick a hard drive size of around 50GB.</div>
<div style="font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Once you’ve created the virtual machine, select it on the right hand side and enter Settings. Click System and select Enable EFI. Click Display and select Enable 3D Acceleration. Slide the Video Memory slider up to 128MB. Click Network and select Bridged Adapter from the Attached to drop-down. Click USB and use the + icon on the right to add your USB keyboard and mouse (if applicable).</div>
<div style="font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<img alt="SteamOS: VirtualBox, selecting the installation ISO" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-172908" height="420" src="http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/steamos-virtualbox-select-storage.jpg" style="border-style: none;" width="640" /></div>
<div style="font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Finally, head to Storage, click the optical disc icon under Controller: IDE, then hit the optical disc icon on the right hand side (see image). Click Choose A Virtual CD/DVD Disk File, then find the ISO file that you made earlier. Click OK to return to the main VirtualBox interface.</div>
<div style="font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
If you receive an error at this point, it’s probably because you haven’t enabled virtualization in BIOS. Enabling virtualization is beyond the scope of this how-to, but if you Google the name of your motherboard and “how to enable virtualization” it’s pretty easy.</div>
<h3 style="font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22px;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><img alt="SteamOS: Pre-install stage to load EFI" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-172916" height="522" src="http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/steamos-install-efi-boot-640x522.png" style="border-style: none;" width="640" /></span></h3>
<h3 style="font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22px;">
Start the SteamOS machine!</h3>
<div style="font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Now, click Start and pray. If all goes to plan, you’ll be greeted with a prompt that looks like the image above. After <code>2.0 Shell></code> type the following: <code>FS0:\EFI\BOOT\BOOTX640</code>. If you can’t type the backslash (<code>\</code>) for some reason (I couldn’t), change your system’s keyboard to US layout, then use the On-Screen Keyboard app to type the <code>\</code>. Press Enter, and you should be greeted with the first sign that you’re installing SteamOS.</div>
<div style="font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<img alt="SteamOS: EFI boot screen" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-172915" height="522" src="http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/steamos-install-automated-install-start-640x522.png" style="border-style: none;" width="640" /></div>
<div style="font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
From this screen, press Enter to begin the automated install. Don’t worry about the WILL ERASE DISK! warning — VirtualBox prevents SteamOS from changing anything on your local filesystem.</div>
<div style="font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<img alt="SteamOS: Installation process" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-172913" height="522" src="http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/steamos-install-process-1-640x522.png" style="border-style: none;" width="640" /></div>
<div style="font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
The installation process is automatic and takes a few minutes.</div>
<div style="font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<img alt="SteamOS: GRUB boot menu, recovery mode" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-172911" height="547" src="http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/steam-os-recovery-mode-640x547.png" style="border-style: none;" width="640" /></div>
<div style="font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Once the automated install is complete the system will reboot and you’ll be greeted with the above screen. Select the second option, recovery mode. The system will boot up and you’ll end up at a Linux command prompt.</div>
<div style="font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<img alt="SteamOS: VirtualBox additions" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-172910" height="522" src="http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/steamos-vboxadds-640x522.png" style="border-style: none;" width="640" /></div>
<h3 style="font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22px;">
Install VirtualBox Guest Additions</h3>
<div style="font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
So that SteamOS is actually usable as a virtualized OS (clipboard sharing, shared folders, better mouse pointer integration), you must now install VirtualBox’s Guest Additions. From the command prompt type the following commands, pressing Enter after each one.</div>
<ul style="font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">
<li><code>mount /media/cdrom</code></li>
<li><code>sh /media/cdrom/VboxLinuxAdditions.run</code></li>
</ul>
<div style="font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
This will take a few moments to install, then type <code>reboot</code> and press Enter.</div>
<div style="font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<img alt="SteamOS: Login" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-172909" height="497" src="http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/steamos-login-640x497.png" style="border-style: none;" width="640" /></div>
<h3 style="font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22px;">
Almost there…</h3>
<div style="font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
This time around, don’t touch the GRUB bootloader and your system will automatically boot into a graphical interface — SteamOS! Well, almost. You’ll be greeted with a login prompt. Keep Default Xsession selected. The username and password are both <code>steam</code>.</div>
<div style="font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<img alt="SteamOS: Usual Debian applications" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-172918" height="471" src="http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/steam-os-usual-debian-apps-640x471.jpg" style="border-style: none;" width="640" /></div>
<div style="font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
For some reason, the Return To Steam icon on the desktop doesn’t work; you need to click Activities in the top left, then Applications, and scroll down to Steam. The Steam app will update, and then you’ll be greeted with the usual login prompt. Log in, hit Big Picture in the top right corner… and voila! You now have a (virtualized) Steam Machine!</div>
<div style="font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
From this point on, you’re pretty much on your own. I haven’t explored SteamOS much yet, but to be honest it doesn’t look like there’s much to discover: Right now, I think it’s just Debian with Steam pre-installed. It’s probably a good idea to have SteamOS installed now, though, so that you can take a look at exciting features — such as local game streaming — when they’re rolled out in 2014.</div>

And now… time to install SteamOS properly on my main gaming PC so that I can do some benchmarking on a real Steam Machine! Presumably, if Valve wants to lure people away from Windows to SteamOS/Linux, game performance under SteamOS better be pretty darn good…</div>

How to install SteamOS in VirtualBox

How to get a PS4 today, and our PS4 stock tracker

Unknown 0 How-to, News, PS4 10:10 AM

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />How to buy a PS4 todayWe’re now six weeks into the PS4′s release, and it’s currently looking like it’ll be the biggest- and fastest-selling console launch of all time. With one million sales in its first 24 hours in North America alone, and then over two million after releasing in Europe, Brazil, Australia, and New Zealand. While the first shipment of PS4s has well and truly sold out, Sony appears to be slowly replenishing stocks across the US and the rest of the world. Unfortunately, these small batches of PS4 stock are quickly selling out, making it very hard to get your hands on a PS4 — unless, of course, you follow our tips on how to find some PS4 stock!</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">To begin with, the most important thing to remember is that the PS4 is completely sold out at retail stores. In urban areas, Best Buy, Walmart, Toys R Us, Target, and GameStop are out of stock. If you want to find some PS4 stock, your best bet is primary, online retailers, such as Amazon. (In fact, Amazon seems to be by far the best place for locating PS4 stock.)</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">Walmart says it will have a large shipment of PS4s arriving at its stores on December 15, for Christmas buyers. It’s not clear if this is stock that Walmart has kept in reserve, or a shipment from Sony. As far as we can tell, that shipment never appeared. Sony seems to be sending small shipments of stock to retailers, piecemeal — so if you’re lucky you might find a real-world store that has PS4 stock, but you really should call ahead first to avoid disappointment.</span></div>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" id="attachment_171138" style="color: #333333; line-height: 22px; width: 650px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
<div class="wp-caption-text" style="color: #666666; line-height: 15px; padding: 10px 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">PS4 launch day at Best Buy in Soho, New York. The five remaining PS4s!</span></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">If you need a PS4 <em>right now</em>, Ebay is your best bet. The Buy It Now price is now down to around $550 — $150 more than the MSRP, but a lot better than the $650+ that they were originally listed for last month.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">If you’re willing to wait a while, and you don’t want to hammer F5 on Amazon.com, the other option is to use a stock tracking website that automatically alerts you when a website magically finds some PS4 stock.</span></div>
<h3 style="color: #333333; line-height: 22px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">PS4 stock tracker</span></h3>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">Don’t let the name fool you: Wiialerts originally started as a website that tracked down the hard-to-find Nintendo Wii, but now it can be used for all sorts of consumer electronics, including the PS4. Basically, you sign up with your email address, add your mobile number (optional but recommended), and then select which products you want to receive alerts for (the PS4). Wiialerts then constantly scans a bunch of stores (Amazon, Walmart, Target, GameStop, Best Buy, etc.) for PS4 stock, and sends you a text when stock arrives.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The advantage of this method is that some stores that were previously out of stock of the PS4 occasionally “find” small batches of stock. Earlier today, for example, Best Buy had some PS4s in stock for nine minutes; if you had been signed up to Wiialerts, you would’ve received an alert and possibly beat the crowd to buy a PS4 from Best Buy. Likewise, the Xbox One was in-stock on Amazon for eight minutes earlier today, but quickly sold out again.</span></span></div>

The graphical installer can be invoked by (double) clicking  the downloaded package.<br />  If this is not the case and, e.g. the Archive Manager opens up, open  the context menu instead (right-click on the downloaded package).  Depending on your distribution you will get different possibilities to  install the package, e.g. “Open with software installation”, “Open with  GDebi package installer”, “Open with Ubuntu Software Center”, or “Open  with> QApt package installer”.<br />  <h3>RedHat, CentOS, Fedora, SUSE</h3>You need the <a href="http://download.teamviewer.com/download/teamviewer_linux.rpm" target="_blank">teamviewer_linux.rpm</a> package.<br />  For installing TeamViewer, we recommend using the <a href="http://www.teamviewer.com/en/help/363-How-do-I-install-TeamViewer-on-my-Linux-distribution.aspx#grafischeInstallation">graphical installer</a>.<br />  If you prefer to use the command line or if there is no graphical installer available you can use either one of these commands:<br />  <ul><li><code>yum install teamviewer_linux.rpm</code> (recommended, as it will install missing dependencies)</li><li><code>rpm -i teamviewer_linux.rpm</code></li></ul>In case “yum” is asking for a missing public key, you can <a href="http://www.teamviewer.com/link/?url=354858" target="_blank">download it here</a> and import the key by using following command:<br />  <ul><li><code>rpm --import TeamViewer_Linux_PubKey.asc</code></li></ul>After importing the public key, please execute the “yum”-command again to install the TeamViewer rpm.<br />  <h3>Debian, Mint, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu…</h3><br />  For <strong>32-bit DEB-systems</strong> you need the <a href="http://download.teamviewer.com/download/teamviewer_linux.deb" target="_blank">teamviewer_linux.deb</a> package.<br />  For <strong>64-bit DEB-systems without Multiarch</strong> you need the <a href="http://download.teamviewer.com/download/teamviewer_linux_x64.deb" target="_blank">teamviewer_linux_x64.deb</a> package.

The tar.gz package works, if the  libraries that TeamViewer depends on are installed which is often the  case.<br />  On <strong>Mandriva/Mageia</strong> TeamViewer can be installed using the following command:<br />  <ul><li><code>urpmi --force --allow-nodeps teamviewer_linux.rpm</code></li></ul>On <strong>PCLinuxOS</strong> TeamViewer can be installed from the repository.

Simply click on “teamviewer” to start  a TeamViewer instance.<br />  The tar.gz package works, if the libraries TeamViewer depends on are installed which is often the case.<br />  You can identify missing libraries by running the command:<br />  <ul><li><code>tv-setup --checklibs</code></li><li style="text-align: right;"><code>Via : <a href="http://teamviewer.com/">Teamviewer.com</a> </code></li></ul>
