Debian 11升级Viber至18.2.0.2后出现xkbcommon启动错误

问题背景 #

Debian GNU/Linux 11（bullseye）系统中，原本正常运行的Viber 16.1.0.37升级至18.2.0.2后无法启动。通过官方页面下载viber.deb包执行标准安装流程无报错，但启动失败；新版本AppImage运行时也出现相同错误，仅旧版本16.1.0.37的AppImage可正常启动。

安装流程及输出 #

解决方案 #

• 打开系统的键盘布局设置
• 将非英语布局（例如保加利亚语）调整为布局列表中的首位
• 重新启动Viber即可解决该xkbcommon错误
