In my previous ubuntu installs I’ve downloaded a deb for 12.04 from the viber website. From there I have needed to install some dependencies; not a biggie. But now I’m seeing viber in the snap store. I’m thinking cool, this should be easy.
"viber-unofficial" snap is missing a dependency on glibc 2.33. I thought snaps would include their dependecies.
"viber-mtd" – Viber desktop support ubuntu. Doesn’t seem to be doing anything.
When I try to install the deb from the viber website, I get the message "not supported" in the snap store application.
I’m running gnome. 21’10 flavor.
>Solution :
You have three download options:
-
AppImage from https://download.cdn.viber.com/desktop/Linux/viber.AppImage
-
deb-file from https://download.cdn.viber.com/cdn/desktop/Linux/viber.deb
-
Flatpak to install with the following commands:
sudo apt update sudo apt install flatpak flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo flatpak install flathub com.viber.Viber
I find traditional deb-based method preferable.
