Viber doesn't install properly but it shows up in app list but doesn't launch

[Unicodist]

I tried to install viber with the .deb file their official site provided, which stops installing midway, it appears on the applist but then doesn't launch.

I tried installing it from the software manager provided by Zorin and the same issue persists.

I can use apt-get purge with viber which removes files and configurations installed by the viber.

Any clue on what could be causing this issue?

While writing this topic, Zorin forum suggested me this topic. When I followed the instruction from it's answers, it installed viber-mtd which surprisingly launched but I couldn't connect to my phone.

Please help in install viber and get it working again. I would like to mention that there could be something I don't understand/don't know things around installing packages in linux since I am new to Linux.

Now, assuming that you could finally run Viber, try seeing if on Viber activation and registration help page there's a working method.

Hello there! I have the same problem. After contacting Viber support, Zorin OS (even though it's Ubuntu-based) is NOT supported.
