viber authentication upon reboot

Hello everybody!

'viber' asks for authentication via scanning qr code upon every reboot.
I don't have such problem on Arch.
How to make it permanent?

Have you resolved it?

It was one of the major problems I did encounter with Devuan which forced me to return back to Debian. :-(

Re: viber authentication upon reboot

Which package are you talking about here?
I can't anything with "viber" in it.

Hello:

3 years later ...

... anything with "viber" in it.   #   <- Actually it was ralph.ronnquist

There is no viber package in the Debian repositories.

As a result, there is no viber package in the Devuan repositories either.

The reason being (most probably) that viber is "Proprietary cross-platform IM and VoIP software".

With respect to it working on Arch, bear in mind that the package in queston is part of their user repository ie: not an official AUR package.

DISCLAIMER: AUR packages are user produced content. Any use of the provided files is at your own risk.

Seems that none of that has changed in the last three years.

Best,

A.

Re: viber authentication upon reboot

Hello:

... spelling mistake is one thing ...

Crikey !... 
Seems espresso had not kicked in yet.

But not a proper excuse though.

The thing is that I'm just lowly hack who most always finds the answers to difficult stuff under the same two names.
ie: fsmithred / ralph.ronnquist

Yes, that's the best (true one) I can come up with.  8^D

Best,

A.

Re: viber authentication upon reboot

So there's no workaround to this? I've tried to write to support (viber's)... let's see how that goes.

Re: viber authentication upon reboot

maybe viber depends on systemd? maybe thats why it works on debian and arch?

Re: viber authentication upon reboot

It's not on https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/bannedpackages.txt

Neither is it found in our package list https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/poli … *&x=submit

IOW . . . Devuan does not know that viber exists so there is no expectation that it would work . . .
