Problems with viber on ubuntu 16.04?

Question

linux

Some crap with viber happened, worked fine until I updated the packages "apt upgrade"
Runs on a large scale and climbs out of the monitor. I installed a deb package from the office. site. Here is the screenshot:

Answer 1

I have the same problem, found forum.ubuntu.ru/index.php?topic=286467.0

sudo apt-get install sqlitebrowser
sqlitebrowser /home/USERNAME/.ViberPC/config.db
#CommonSettings -> ScalingRatio 
#нужно значение поменять с 1 на что-нибудь меньше единицы, например, 0.5

Hooray!!! Everything works as it should

Answer 2

I have the same problem,
what to do if CommonSettings is missing -> ScalingRatio
see the previous recommendation comment Vitaly Kapranov Vitaly Kapranov
sudo apt-get install sqlitebrowser
sqlitebrowser /home/USERNAME/.ViberPC/config.db
#CommonSettings -> ScalingRatio
#necessary change the value from 1 to something less than one, for example, 0.5

Answer 3

Open in a text editor (as root or with sudo) /usr/share/applications/viber.desktop
And replace the line Exec=/opt/viber/Viber %u
with Exec=env QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS=0.5 /opt/viber/Viber %u

Answer 5

Had the same problem with Viber, which was installed from the App Center.
It was treated like this: download from offsite, then dpkg -i
Suddenly it will come in handy for someone.
