@edh - That's not the answer I was hoping for (I was really hoping we could get it to launch without xwayland), but at least I know I'm not missing something.

Some ~/.config/zoomus.conf updates:

  • SSO Login: I don't have qt5-webengine installed, and the ebeddedBrowserForSSOLogin line doesn't exist in my config zoomus.conf. SSO login works just fine (issues with Firefox containers aside).
  • Audio: I am using Pipewire via pipewire-pulse. system.audio.type defaulted to alsa for me (or I changed it without realizing it). I probably could have installed pipewire-alsa and fixed my issues, but I set system.autio.type=pulse (a lucky guess) and this worked. This should work for anyone using straight PulseAudio as well.

If anyone finds documentation on ~/.config/zoomus.conf, please let us know.

I contacted the zoom support on 13th July 2016 and tried to lure them into creating a proper PKGBUILD respectively adopting this one, considering they are providing a package over very none standard ways to the Arch Linux community (downloading via a *foreign* site) and not through the official repo or the AUR. However there was little to no progress so far.

@archisman Please raise your concerns regarding the outdated qt dependency upstream.

archisman commented on 2024-03-08 17:24 (UTC)

The package depends explicitly on qt5-webengine and qt5-remoteobjects. Can we change them to the respective qt6 versions instead?

@nursoda thought it couldn't be a download issue bc I removed and tried again several times, but I was able to download the package a successfully build independent of paru (pkgbuild + pacman), so seems to be either a paru issue or a corrupted package on my end (that was cached so never re-downloaded). Seems like everything is fine with the package - Thanks for the help!

@nursoda Yes, I'll switch with the next release.

"Truncated zstd input" points to a corrupted download. wget https://zoom.us/client/5.17.10.3512/zoom_x86_64.pkg.tar.xzresolves to https://cdn.zoom.us/prod/5.17.10.3512/zoom_x86_64.pkg.tar.xz, which is the URL directly used in the PKGBUILD. So I suspect this was a corrupted download issue.

@edh: Since there now is an official Arch download URL, did you consider switching from to cdn.zoom.us/prod to zoom.us/client in the PKGBUILD?

2024-02-27 update failed to upgrade or install properly for me, both with qt5-remoteobjects pre-installed, and with it installed automatically as a dependency (using paru). Tried completely removing (-Rsnu) zoom and reinstalling to no avail.

Specific error reported by paru is: "could not extract /opt/zoom/cef/libcef.so (Truncated zstd input)".

I'm new to the AUR/arch scene so let me know if there's any more info I can provide to help. Thanks for packaging! ~Nicky

Update: I was able to successfully install zoom with the Arch package hosted by Zoom at https://zoom.us/download via pacman. I'm not sure if this is the same package you based yours off, but it does seem to be working.

Hi @edh thanks for getting back to me.

I don't see how they could "not be needed" if they are linked from the binary... If ldd says its needed then it is. The question is is it already there somewhere?

You already added qt5-remoteobjects which provides libQt5RemoteObjects.so.5 ; similarly libQt5Gamepad.so.5 is provided by qt5-gamepad but that is not currently a dependency here.

I'm sorry I don't have time to dig much further into this, but if it were my package, I'd keep working down these ldd errors and check which packages provide those libraries. They definitely need to be added as deps. Maybe you can also report upstream if you have a line to anybody there and you think their docs are lacking in terms of what is a required / optional dependency.

Regards and thanks for packaging. Mark.

@peter.kehl that's already a dependency...

peter.kehl commented on 2024-02-27 11:54 (UTC)

2024-02-27 update fails to install, unless you also install qt5-remoteobjects.

Please add qt5-remoteobjects as a dependency.

edh commented on 2024-02-27 08:08 (UTC)

@marcool04

Thanks for running these checks. I think most of these dependencies aren't really needed or packaged with zoom. Can you contact the zoom support to raise the issue of missing decencies with them? All decencies that they list in their package should be listed here as well.
