Im using ubuntu 14.04.

I have downloaded the latest version of viber for linux from the official source.

I installed it though terminal

sudo dpkg -i viber.deb

and it got installed successfully without any error, but whenever I try to open it from dash or anywhere it closes within 2 second. I have used viber for more than 7 months and this thing happened this week only.

How should I proceed?

  • Launch it from the terminal and see if there are any error messages?

Viber always aborts on startup when you have installed acestream package. Just uninstall acestream:

apt-get remove acestream*

And then try to launch Viber again. Tested on Ubuntu Desktop 14/15.

do not open it with dpkg, first remove it then right click on the .deb file and open it with ubuntu software center and install it from there.
