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.

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!

I had the same problem. I tried viber.deb, viber-unofficial from snap, but nothing worked. So I installed Viber from Flatpak by following these steps:

  1. Install flatpak:

    sudo apt install flatpak
    
  2. Add the Flathub repository:

    flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
    
  3. Restart your session.

  4. Install Viber:

    sudo flatpak install flathub com.viber.Viber
    
  5. Now you can either run Viber from your system's launcher, or by running this command in a terminal:

    flatpak run com.viber.Viber
