We’re no programmers … just trying to get things up 'n running. One guy at site … one guy half a globe away … We do have our HMI running, but Teamviewer should have been started as a service, but it apparently is not. Now we want to get to the Linux desktop to be able to start Teamviewer manually. How to do that? ---

Assuming you mean to shut down the Ignition project because it’s running in fullscreen mode, Alt-F4 should to the trick. ---

Thanks Jordan … I forgot to mention that there’s no physical keyboard around. The issue has been solved by now … didn’t need to intervene.
