Title: Viber won't work
Post by: Dj on Sun Aug 28 13:06:22 2022

Hello and thank you in advance.
I have installed Viber via flatpak (https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.viber.Viber), but it won't start.
 Downloaded two different appimages, official and unofficial. Both won't work, both can't start.
 Thank you.

Can you test via the command line and return us what's the complete message

Thank you
Thierry

After new update, flatpak is working.
 Viber won't work with appimages, downloaded two different appimages.
 Started flatpak version, it won't start.
 Tried from console - as "viber" - no such application. How to start flatpak Viber from terminal ?

It generaly depends on the package you installed, but the common way to go is to start by checking the details of the installed Flatpak application (using

Quote

grep

can specifically help find an application, if we know it contains a partial string) e.g.

Quote

flatpak list | grep viber

(grep is case-sensitive, so try capitalising the "v" in "viber" if no results are initially found to see, if that works). That should give you the application ID (along the lines of

Quote

com.developer.application

). Just copy the application ID and enter

Quote

flatpak run application id

in the terminal. That will launch the application verbosely and therefore should display any errors.

If anyone cares, Viber has been very unstable.
Tested on many Linux distros, working on Alpine linux.
 I hope that it will work on Nutyx.

I add a link to find out easier what Viber is. Before you did post the original message,  I had never heard of viber.

Good evening,
Viber is an app belonging to Rakuten. It is used in the Philippines (and may be other countries). It basically is an app similar to Whatsapp.
I just installed it on Nutyx, and messaging works perfectly (I did not try to place a call). Here is what I did:
% sudo cards install flatpak
% flatpak install flathub com.viber.Viber (second Viber is with an Uppercase V)
% flatpak run com.viber.Viber
Hope it helps.

Bruno.
