Hi community, I did take over maintenance for this package, since I need it for work. It's my first package here on the AUR, so please be forgiving for any mistakes.
If there is a problem with the checksums, flag the package out-of-date at the top of the page. I'll update the PKGBUILD as soon as possible.
fyi a new official Linux build has been released on may 21
What is the point of downloading a stale version of libsecret from the ALA? Does this software require a specific version it was compiled against? I'd propose adding a versioned dependency then, instead of just downloading the package.
I was able to build the newest available Version applying the following patch to PKGBUILD:
diff --git a/PKGBUILD b/PKGBUILD
index a7805d4..ff0011f 100644

When trying to install this AUR package, I obtain next error:
warning: downgrading package libsecret (0.21.2-1 => 0.20.4-1)
error: './src/libsecret-0.20.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst': duplicate target
The chat and breakout sessions work now. However, screen sharing on Wayland does not work currently (there is no share screen button in the application). Also, it's in they're Coming soon section from here: https://help.webex.com/en-us/article/9vstcdb/Webex-App-for-Linux.
@belebtintensaur: Last time I checked the Linux version was missing the chat functionality and breakout sessions. Screen sharing worked on x.org
How can i turn on the in meeting chat functionality ?
Webex doesent display the chat button while the windows version do this for the same meeting
Hello,
I'm having trouble running webex. Launching from the terminal or via the desktop entry nothing happens and checking journalctl shows a coredump. I am running wayland but not sure where to start debugging. Normally I joined meetings from my browser but for some reason some meetings don't allow me to join from the browser.
Any help would be much appreciated,
Thanks
