Flatpak Viber Crash when starting

Support Snap/Flatpak

I’m not sure when did this start. But I guess somewhere between the last two updates.
Viber doesn’t start, and crash with this error message

I’ve narrowed it down to being having two keyboard layout, and it indeed is the cause since removing one would make it work.
However, removing and re-adding a new keyboard layout is a hassle.
So how to fix it?

Do you have xdg-utils installed?

Yeah, it’s installed.
I can get Viber to work by simply having single keyboard layout.
So I’m pretty sure that’s the issue, I’m not sure how to get around that though.

You can try the appimage from their site to see if that makes a difference.

This would seem relevant then, as would information about your keyboard setup…

Where is ara(qwerty) being included from?

setxkbmap -print -verbose 10
ls /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols

This is the output of

setxkbmap -print -verbose 10
