I have recently dual booted my Win10 laptop (64 bit) with Kali Linux and installed Teamviewer but I can't interact with the menus in the first screen (Remote Control) and all popup windows are black except for input fields and buttons. Or at least I used to get that. Now all I get is a black error window and then the program shuts down. It also doesn't show up in the applications menu, so I can only run it by typing "teamviewer" in the console.

enter image description here

It feels like it needs reinstalling but I've tried so many times with so many different ways, that I can't find any others now.

odd, maybe they are using wine (havn't checked), but in some older versions of wine this black window effect happened, there was a wine config option that could stop this happening.

will google for the prop...

Update:

Try winetricks ddr=gdi (or remove in-game videos).

also i found in one of my tomboy notes from 2012;

Just open regedit and added a key and a text value as below:

"xorg bug black area"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\X11 Driver]
"ClientSideWithRender"="N"

  • when I try "winetricks ddr=gdi" it says winetricks command not found and when I try the regedit there is no X11 Driver in HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Wine – OddCore Nov 10 '16 at 16:48
