Display_server_not_supported Anydesk



In general AnyDesk should run on most Linux distributions, however only the following are officially supported:

Main Window

I finally figured out how to install Anydesk/Team Viewer in Raspberry Pi running Ubuntu Mate. All you need to do is just add other architecture like 'armhf' or 'i 386' both should work, well I had download the armhf.deb file so I add the armhf cross platform to the repository and updated it, then it is standard installation process just by clicking on the downloaded file and install it. AnyDesk on windows should take up less screen real estate such as Linux and OS X. Better support for reconnecting when working with updates on machines, restarting on Windows, doesn't give option to automatically reconnect after remote machine restart.

- Ubuntu 18.04 and newer
- Debian 9 and newer
- Fedora 30/31/32
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7 and newer
- CentOS 7 and newer
- OpenSUSE 42/15

If your Linux installation is not listed above, there is no guarantee that AnyDesk will work or work correctly, and we can't provide support for other distributions.
Also, changes with the Xorg server aren't supported, which can happen by the use of programs like xrdp etc.


A Graphical Interface is needed. More information on the installation dependencies can be found in our Installation article.

Important: Please keep in mind that Wayland sessions (selectable in your login screen) aren´t supported. Please make sure an Xorg session is running.

You can check if you use Wayland by entering the following in the terminal: echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE


Remove License

To remove your licence in the GNU/Linux version, open the menu in the upper right.
Go to 'About AnyDesk' and open 'Enter license key' and press 'OK'. Your license will then show 'free-1'.

AnyDesk is an outstanding application for the remote desktop similar to TeamViewer. You can say it an alternative of the TeamViewer, which is available freely. Anydesk provides a faster remote connection than any other existing remote desktop application. Personally, I also love it and use. This tutorial will help you to install AnyDesk on Ubuntu systems.

But, if you still love TeamViewer, You can also install TeamViewer using these instructions.
