@zelimir appimage refuses to switch keyboards as well. only manual fix with a proper qt6 fcitx5 library works on my box.

@num, @Severus, did you try AppImage version, I don't have any problems with it? Download it from Viber website and give it a try....

@Severus link i gave contains a qt6 library, with a proper qt6 version. i've tried all of them. this is for current version AUR viber, from this repo. i can only use my "temporary switch" hotkey in viber, not as expected, but acceptable. fcitx5 is buggy i guess. thanks for all the tips.

@num, no way, because viber uses qt6, you cannot use qt5 to make it work. Do you use old viber? I can use hotkey to switch fine.

@Severus ok, with a trial and error, here's the correct package for current viber version:

https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/f/fcitx5-qt/fcitx5-qt-5.1.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

still missing hotkey switch, so i have to switch keyboards with a mouse. super annoying

fcixt qt5 never works because viber was built with qt6, for fcitx or other input method, use QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 viber to check if viber load plugins correctly

@num did you change permission 644 for this file? It works for me

num commented on 2025-02-08 12:10 (UTC)

@Severus it doesn't, tried like 5 versions of that library already, still not working for me.

@num you can download fcitx-qt6-1.2.7-15-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst from archive and extract usr/lib/qt6/plugins/platforminputcontexts/libfcitxplatforminputcontextplugin-qt6.so then move it to /opt/viber/plugins/platforminputcontexts/libfcitx5platforminputcontextplugin.so it should work as expected

my arch install switched to fcitx5 keyboard switcher by default.

Viber can't switch languages under wayland.

proposed solution from fcitx maintaner: "Ask viber to bundle fcitx im module in app image."

anything that can be done?
