Introduction

This is a howto on installing, configuring and running TeamSpeak under Ubuntu-x86.

Thanks to JConnell and his tread for mostly all info on this subject: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=16361&highlight=TeamSpeak

Download TeamSpeak

To download the TeamSpeak client, open a terminal and execute one of these two commands:

wget ftp://213.202.254.114/teamspeak/releases/ts2_client_rc2_2032.tar.bz2

wget ftp://ftp.freenet.de/pub/4players/teamspeak.org/releases/ts2_client_rc2_2032.tar.bz2

Or find it yourself on the [http://www.goteamspeak.com/downloads.php TeamSpeak website]

Install TeamSpeak

Open a terminal and cd to the directory where you saved the install file

Then run these commands:

tar -jxf ts2_client_rc2_2032.tar.bz2
cd ts2_client_rc2_2032
sudo chmod 755 setup.sh
sudo ./setup.sh

Choose this install path: /opt/TeamSpeak2RC2 (Should be the default)

Configure TeamSpeak

Make a executable link

You can create a link, which makes TeamSpeak run with one commands like this:

sudo ln -s /opt/TeamSpeak2RC2/TeamSpeak /usr/bin/

TeamSpeak link in Firefox

If you want to open teamspeak:// links with firefox then do this:

1. Launch firefox and type about:config in the address bar

2. Right-click and select New->String

Name: network.protocol-handler.app.teamspeak Value: TeamSpeak

3. Right-click and select New->Boolean

Name: network.protocol-handler.external.teamspeak Value: true

4. Now you can open teamspeak:// links, which will automaticly launch TeamSpeak and connect to the specified server when you click them!

Stop TeamSeak from hogging sound

You need to run TeamSpeak with the aoss command, in order to stop it from hogging sound from other applications.
