Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS. Viber application doesn't start under X11 - neither Appimage nor .deb version nor even Flatpak version. Does anybody experience the same issue? At the same time Viber works under Wayland.

  • @FedKad Unfortunately, doesn't. Tried all variants. So, I will keep switching between X11 and Wayland, cause some apps work on first one while others work on second one) Thanks! – dyedfox Sep 03 '22 at 18:11
  • I am using Viber on Ubuntu 22.04 X11 Gnome. Sometimes Viber does not start on the first run. Try several times until it starts – FedKad Sep 04 '22 at 06:40

I had the same issue in KDE Plasma. I can't belive but what fixed my issue (and I tried it several times to see if it really matters) is changing my first keyboard layout to a language different from "English (US)" or "English (UK)". I've tried several English keyboard layouts and in some cases it worked but in my case I put "Bulgarian" as my fist layout (I'm form Bulgaria) and the moment I apply my settings this way e works. When I put back English on the top I can't start Viber (btw I use the flatpak version, but I've found some information that this might work wit .deb version too). I hope this might help!

    Suprisingly it is true! I confirm it also works with Serbian keyboard (latin and cyrillic) as well as German. After starting it, you can switch to english and it still works. I am using KDE Plasma and X11 on Ubuntu 23.04. When I login in Wayland it work regardless of keyboard setting. – dotokija May 12 '23 at 08:32
