@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?

I have received an official response from the viber support:

Hello,

Viber is no longer supported on Arch Linux.

For a full list of supported devices and platforms, please follow the link: https://vb.me/5d739e20

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Could someone tell us what is the difference between the supported linux distributions and Arch Linux?

Thanks for your suggestion but we want the native version :(

@mozo As a temporary solution you can install viber for windows under wine. I tested it and it works, but it uses too much CPU and memory compared to native linux viber.

mozo commented on 2022-02-28 21:21 (UTC)

It's a big problem. I hope for a solution badly.
