I've installed teamviewer on Ubuntu 18 following these instructions:

but as you see it crashes, when I launch it. (I also tried running it as root, it doesn't like it). How can I fix this?

Assuming that you used the .deb Ubuntu packages... . When I've had problems with the official distro packages in the past, I have also downloaded the tar package from "Other systems (not officially supported)". These packages are stand-alone, and as such you run them by untar'ing and then executing the binary in the base of the extracted directory:

tar -xJf teamviewer_amd64.tar.xz
cd teamviewer
./teamviewer

The stand-alone version runs independently, and can help iron out issues with the official package, vs runtime issues.

Also, as per the Teamviewer support site, check debug logs via:

sudo teamviewer ziplog

In addition, since the process fails when trying to load the Teamviewer GUI, check for issues with libqt5gui5.
