Viber won't start in Ubuntu 15.10 due to missing shared libraries libgstreamer-0.10.so.0 How to fix this?

Question

Viber won't start anymore. This is the message I get:

error while loading shared libraries: libgstreamer-0.10.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

How to fix this? Thanks

Solution 1

Install the missing library:

sudo apt-get install libgstreamer0.10-0

That should install the libgstreamer-0.10.so.0 library.

Solution 2

The accepted answer is a little off

The package that needs to be installed is actually

libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0

so

`sudo apt-get install libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0`

Running the accepted answer gave additional error about libgstapp PS: I do not have enough points to comment, so I answered the question

Solution 3

you can use this page : http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libgstreamer0.10-dev

# wget http://download.cdn.viber.com/cdn/desktop/Linux/Viber.zip

I found this and other libraries in Ubuntu 14.04 installation so I just copied it to usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu. And Viber is working now. Is this acceptable approach?

[KO the typo]

On my Lubuntu 17.10, this version of libstreamer isn't maintained anymore. So i used the following workaround: wget http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gst-plugins-‌​base0.10/libgstreame‌​r-plugins-base0.10-0‌​_0.10.36-1_amd64.deb wget http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gstreame‌​r0.10/libgstreamer0.‌​10-0_0.10.36-1.5ubun‌​tu1_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i libgstreamer*.deb It's now working.
