no second Intel graphics card?

can you try "nouveau" driver instead nvidia?
pacman -S xf86-video-nouveau (editing Xorg files necessary) https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nouveau
Nope, I only have a separate video card. I can try to setup nouveau during the weekend and will post what I find out.

Wild guess: make a copy of /etc/machine-id and see if it changes after reboot. You might also have one in /var/lib/dbus/machine-id, if so check that too.
If  machine-id is unchanged, post a strace -s 128 /opt/viber/Viber at https://paste.artixlinux.org.

Also, do yourself a favour and run all binary spyware blobs inside a fire jail or something. This actually might solve the crash too.

Just to report that I tried using Viber on my laptop, which uses ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470, using the same account and it works even after reboot. So it might be the NVIDIA driver which is messing with Viber. I'll try to switch to nouveau and post here what I find out. Also:

Thanks, I'll try that.

Ok, just checked and machine-id is indeed changing upon reboot. Firejail didn't make a difference on my desktop. Also I tried to switch to nouveau, by removing all nvidia* packages and the blacklisting of nouveau in kernel and rebooting, and it didn't help. Here's the output of lsmod | grep 'nouveau\|nvidia":

something is wrong set  in your computer, because the viber crash ... unfortunately I'm not able to remotely detect what :( I'm running out of ideas for what it could be.

Well, I didn't do anything special (to my knowing). The only difference is that Artix on my laptop was installed from i3-s6 iso, (and then regularly upgraded), and on my desktop from base-s6 iso. On both I have pretty much the same setup with dwm, except, of course, that laptop has a different video card.

I can post the strace of viber, if that will help. Also, I checked my laptop (where Viber works) and it also has machine-id changed upon reboot. The difference is that laptop also has /var/lib/dbus/machine-id (with a different id than /etc/machine-id) and the desktop only has /etc/machine-id.

P.S: I tried creating the paste with the entire output of trace but I get "413 Request Entity Too Large", so here's the last 100 lines: https://paste.artixlinux.org/view/89578eb9

(I replaced my phone number with XXXXXXX using sed.)

Ok, just checked and machine-id is indeed changing upon reboot. Firejail didn't make a difference on my desktop.

The machine-id change is a tweak we introduced in /etc/local.d/change-machine-id.start, which runs at every boot. The purpose of this is to avoid Artix systems being traced and identified by a unique ID. Now, if you comment out the dbus-uuidgen lines in that file, fresh-start viber and reboot, what happens?

Sorry for the late reply. I don't appear to have the /etc/local.d/change-machine-id.start file at all. This is the output of ls:
Code: [Select]
$ ls /etc/local.d/
branding.start  cleanup.start  local.start  local.stop
$
and this is the output of grep uuidgen:
Code: [Select]
$ grep uuidgen /etc/local.d/*
$
Also:
Code: [Select]
$ grep uuidgen /etc/* 2>/dev/null
/etc/services:uuidgen           697/tcp
/etc/services:uuidgen           697/udp

Hm, I had no idea our s6 also played with /etc/machine-id...

Until some s6 expert advises you how to change that, you can in the meantime make /etc/machine-id immutable:
Code: [Select]
# chattr +i /etc/machine-id
and test.

Yes! This helped, thank you! :D

I am getting an error message now during the boot, about the /etc/machine-id being unwritable, but at least I can run Viber now without it crashing immediately.

Although this is only a temporary workaround, I will mark the topic as solved.

And this is a perfect example of how companies use whatever means they can to track us and uniquely identify us, in the pretext of our "safety" and "better services provided" - with "free", closed-source products. This situation was also the intent behind our regularly changing /etc/machine-id.

Don't run viber/skype/any_blob unrestrained, use a container. They feed on your private data. Try to talk your employer into using something open source, there are plenty of excellent solutions out there.

I completely agree, and thank you again for introducing firejail to me, I didn't even know something like that is a thing.

I am definitely using firejail to run Viber, which I am sadly not allowed to replace with something like Telegram for my job, but on the other hand it is something only forced during the hopefully temporary work from home in the most recent coronavirus outbreak.
