Ubuntu Unity 11.04 & 11.10 Teamviewer startup problem for 2 eth card pc's

If you have a pc with 2 ethernet ports like me, you may have a problem with teamviewer autostart.
Since teamviewer starts before ethernet card is activated, it is trying to activate but it fails. 
Here is a workaround for this problem:

  •  Install teamviewer from official site. 
Although it was freezing sometimes on Ubuntu 10.04, it is working flawless on Ubuntu 11.10



  • Create a shell script to start teamviewer with 50 seconds delay. 
Delay is needed to wait the ethernet card to activate


$ vi /home/user/teamviewer_start.sh

sleep 50
teamviewer6 &
  • Click start menu and launch startup applicatons



  • Click add button, name it Teamview or something you choose.



  • Click Browse button for command and choose the sciript.



Now teamviewer succesfully opens and availiable at ubuntu startup.
