Arch Linux User Repository

@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.

Not building manually (have never done it), using package manager to install packages. If we really need abandon package manager and start building manually - this renders package management useless. Tried:

yay --cleanmenu --rebuild -S zoom
rm -fr .zoom/
zoom

... still nothing - Zoom won't start.

@cjm In general it is a good idea to build in a clean environment (preferably a chroot). Cleaning up the environment however is not the job of the PKGBUILD.

@gdower Thank you! Deleting pkg/ and src/ before building the package finally fixed my undefined symbol error. (It seems to me the PKGBUILD should do that if necessary.)

Seems like the "hide floating meeting controls" option is missing and has been disabled in zoom-5.14.0. Anyone know if there's any way to re-enable that? Maybe in a config file? It's a nuisance to have the meeting controls hiding a big chunk of my screen share.

Even current 5.14.0-1 won't start. When trying to start from CLI, no output - just won't start. Once the system tray icon shortly appears but less than second disappears and that's all. When removed ~/.zoom/ folder temporarily to another location and tried to start Zoom again from CLI with clean settings, then I got lots of output and most relevant part:

For anyone (@cysp74) getting the following error:

/opt/zoom/zoom : symbol lookup error: /opt/zoom/QtQuick/Controls.2/libqtquickcontrols2plugin.so: undefined symbol: _ZN13QQmlDirParserC1Ev, version Qt_5_PRIVATE_API

Within the PKGBUILD directory try deleting the pkg and src directories, the broken .tar.xz and broken .pkg.tar.zst files, then rebuild the package. That fixed it for me. Or just re-clone the repo and re-build. I suspect there were leftover files from a previous zoom build causing the error.

For the past 7~8 days (with 2 intervening updates of my Linux kernel) I have not been able to connect to any Zoom session with v5.13.11 (1288). The start of this issue coincided with me trying to connect with SSO, through my organization. That one attempt failed for obscure reasons. Since then, nothing 'doing. Error messages are:

either 1) "It looks like we are unable to connect. Please check your network connection again.", obtained when trying to connect to my

or 2) "An unknown error occurred. Please use this meeting through your browser. Error code 5003." ... when trying to connect to my private meeting room

or 3) "Timeout" when trying to login with my account user and password from this desktop app.

No joy either when signing out from all devices from my Zoom profile page and signing back in from this desktop app.

I am stuck. Any pointer welcome.

@zeph2 I had the same error as @aljinovic (i.e. qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found; complete log here ). I didn't have any symbol lookup errors that you and others have reported, so it seems like there might be two different issues.

@aljinovic @terru I have qt5-base installed for other reasons, but zoom still crashes at startup with the same error as reported by cysp74 on 2023-02-09 10:09 (UTC). I have tried playing a bit with qt packages, but I have yet to find a solution on my system. I am using the latest zoom version from AUR.

After using Zoom for two years without any issues, I noticed some weeks ago that I could no longer share my screen (on X11, no Wayland involved): The button to start sharing is there, but the dialog to select a window or full screen etc. didn't appear at all.

Since my searches did not yield any hints, I just wanted to give Flatpak a chance. So I installed it parallel to this AUR. Starting it, I noticed that German translation is missing (not a deal breaker) but it wouldn't "migrate its database" (permissions issues?). So I just uninstalled it a couple of minutes later.

Weird thing is: After that, clicking the "Share Screen" button yielded a dialog again, so that part is back to normal (although I don't see how above actions could have influenced that).

I now face a different issue: I start Zoom, log in, click "Keep me logged in", enter my 2FA TOTP code, and everything is working. But when I quit Zoom (via its notification button, without signing out) and re-start it, I need to log in again. So my login isn't remembered now. That part WAS working correctly before my above actions.

I see this in ~/.zoom/zoom_stdout_stderr.log:

Any idea what could cause and how to tackle this?
