@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.

Hi there,

It appears this package throws a number of errors when built in clean chroot and run through namcap. Notably these type of errors:

zoom W: Referenced library 'libQt53DQuickScene2D.so.5' is an uninstalled dependency (needed in files ['opt/zoom/Qt/qml/QtQuick/Scene2D/libqtquickscene2dplugin.so'])

which have some overlap with errors thrown by checkrebuild's ldd verification:

On some machines, updating from Zoom v5.17.1 to v5.17.5 causes a memory leak which after some time (when your memory is full) freezes up your computer.

Source: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/zoom-linux-5-17-5-won%27t-start-4175733126/

The solution is to remove zoom files in the user's $HOME catalog from an older installation and start fresh. Idea: Maybe there should be a zoom-cleanup script that removes old settings in user's home folder embedded in this package, since this issue with old configuration files may reappear in later updates.

killall zoom 2>/dev/null
rm -rf $HOME/.zoom/ $HOME/.cache/
rm -f $HOME/.config/zoom*

You can then start a Zoom meeting without crashing the computer.

function zoom () { xdg-open "zoommtg://zoom.us/join?confno=$1"; }

or sandboxed:

function zoom () { firejail zoom --url="zoommtg://zoom.us/join?action=join&confno=$1"; }

and then use the function to start a meeting id:

zoom 123456789

To make it handier you can add the shell function above to your $HOME/.bashrc or $HOME/.zshrc

@zomomin @grosjo

Reinstalling did not work.

What worked for me is:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/zoom/cef:/opt/zoom/Qt/lib /opt/zoom/zoom

@grosjo I had the same issue. Removing zoom completely and reinstalling resolved the problem for me. It looks like the structure in /opt/zoom/ changed, as the path /opt/zoom/QtQuick does not exist anymore after reinstalling.

If I launch $ /opt/zoom/zoom

I get:

/opt/zoom/zoom: error while loading shared libraries: libcef.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Launching after cleaning all setup files (.zoom and .cnfig/zoom.conf), I get

/opt/zoom/zoom : symbol lookup error: /opt/zoom/QtQuick/Controls.2/libqtquickcontrols2plugin.so: undefined symbol: _ZN13QQmlDirParserC1Ev, version Qt_5_PRIVATE_API Something went wrong while running zoom, exit code is 127. ZoomLauncher exit.

Echoing, @Phi11ip. On a fresh install, Zoom crashes if qt5-webengine is not installed. It needs to be changed to a required dependency.

Zoom now requires you to have version 5.13.5 or higher in order to log in.

@Trilby I will add the mentioned dependencies with the next release.

EDIT: at-spi2-core is already a dependency of gtk3.

This is missing dependency listings for gtk3 and at-spi2-core. Zoom will not even start without these installed.
