@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.

When I share my screen the whole application freezes, all the controls are unresponsive. This feature was working for me for a long time. There is no error message about this issue when I run it on the console.

I downgraded to version 2.1.103753.0521 (git commit 03ca5cd) and the screen sharing works again.

Do you Guys have any idea what went wrong? Is this an application bug or Arch related?

For those looking to fix DPI for Zoom: I just added it to the apps list at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HiDPI#Zoom.

To make it permanent, here's how:

  1. Copy /usr/share/applications/Zoom.desktop to your ~/.local/share/applications/
  2. At the Exec command, prepend env QT_SCALE_FACTOR=2.

@edh, thanks! Downgrading "mesa" fixed the problem

@reptile Zoom starts up fine in a clean container with an up-to-date system.

You might want to roll-back the entire update and see whether that helps. If it does, partially update each package one by one and see where things break down.

Blatant self-promotion: To facilitate the downgrade process you may want to use a small script like e.g. downgrade :D

After the latest system upgrade, zoom just fails to launch. The output says "zoom started.", but nothing happens. Downgrading zoom back doesn't help. It's something with other parts of the system, but I don't know what exactly, no errors in output... Maybe someone had similar issue?

@danielbruce - Thank you, your workaround works great!

If you're still having seg fault issues, this fixed it for me: touch ~/.config/zoomus.conf.

@prosoitos I had the exact same problem with the same error message yesterday. After using git to checkout the previous version (the one from Feb 8) and reinstalling, zoom launches and seems to work fine (though I didn't make any calls yet). So I'm using the Feb 8 version now.

In addition to the error posted by prosoitos, using journalctl I can see the following records related to the zoom segfault:

I could install without any problem, but zoom does not launch. I get this error:

ZoomLauncher started.
Zoom not exist at current directory - /home/marie
Zoom path is: /opt/zoom
cmd line: 
$HOME = /home/marie

@lujipeka Surely this is not an ideal solution and is due to the odd nature of the PKGBUILD but in the end the error boils down to a poor AUR package manager decision. The only recommendation I can give you is to either use a proper helper or build it from source.
