Viber keeps creating the directory "~/Documents" even if I've set the downloads directory for both media and documents to "~/downloads". Can some one help me out with this?

Hey everyone. I have had a similar problem on a debian buster system...even the appImage failed. However, when I installed the .deb file there, it added in libxcb-xinput0, after which it worked again. Not sure if this is helpful, but maybe someone can figure out what the relevance is, and adjust whatever is required to fix it in general.

@mozo, @MarsSeed I have tried the latest RPM version of Viber from their site and it can't make or receive a call.

The long story short - after many hours of testing and debugging I think that the problem is related to the signal SIGSYS and Seccomp. We need help from people who know more in this area. Maybe the solution will be the developers of Viber /or someone who knows how/ to update QtWebEngine with a more recent version. As a temporary solution for now we can set the QTWEBENGINE_DISABLE_SANDBOX environment variable to 1.

$ QTWEBENGINE_DISABLE_SANDBOX=1 viber

After setting the variable Viber can make and receive calls again. I don't know what the security implications would be.

@MarsSeed, I'm using Telegram too but I need both - Telegram and Viber. Let's hope the maintainer will try with rpm.

@Stelian, I don't think Viber was ever supported on Arch Linux.

@mozo I think the we could try out the Viber for Fedora RPM. In theory that should be linked to newer libraries, more in line with Arch.

Btw I've managed to convince my friends and family to come over to Telegram. :)

That one has a native Linux client, works better than Viber and doesn't show ads or monitor our activities for monetization purposes.

@Stelian, it's working fine on Ubuntu, I just tried it...

Unfortunately I don't have Ubuntu to try but I can install it tommorrow to test it.

I have tried the viber.AppImage version from their site and it has the same problem. Do we know for sure that Viber can make and receive a call for the supported linux distributions - Ubuntu and Fedora? Could someone confirm it? Maybe Viber for linux has a bug in general that is not related to the linux distribution?

I don't know what the difference is but this is really bad news... Can we try to use the rpm package? Will it make any difference?
