@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.

What's the reasoning to split out $pkgver and $subver? Why not just use the upstream version directly in $pkgver?

BTW @hawath hardening != security; hardening is reducing the attack surface but not inherently decreasing the impact of said vulns. See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=254868, https://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2020/03/msg00242.html, https://serverfault.com/questions/939455/unprivileged-userns-clone-no-such, and https://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2022/11/msg00258.html for context.

@hawath I am a bit confused as to why this would make zoom more secure. Setting the SUID bit seems like it would be easier to escalate privileges. Can you elaborate a little?

Hi: Would you consider adding this line to the PKGBUILD? This is for those users who have set kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=0 (this is the case for linux-hardened kernel). I raise this because this is from the official electron package.

Thanks, Hawath

I'm not sure whether this is a packaging issue but with recent updates (last few months) SSO does not work properly anymore. After entering the subdomain for sso (e.g. <yourcompany> for <yourcompany>.zoom.us) the opened link opens up with <yourcompany>/foobar instead of the proper <yourcompany>.zoom.us/foobar Manually adjusting the SSO link to be in the latter format fixes it.

@kuzyn: Read this: https://community.zoom.com/t5/Meetings/An-empty-folder-created-in-Ubuntu/m-p/69059

Apparently, when XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR in $HOME/.config/user-dirs.dirs is set to an "unsafe" directory, Chrome CEF decides to create $HOME/Downloads instead.

Setting XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR in $HOME/.config/user-dirs.dirs to a directory inside my $HOME directory (e.g. $HOME/downloads) helped, so Zoom is no longer creating the annoying Downloads folder.

kuzyn commented on 2022-11-03 22:15 (UTC)

Would love to know if someone has found a way to specify the downloads directory, either via zoomus.conf or env var. Default is $USER/Downloads.

PSA, the prebuild package is available at https://build.kilabit.info/aur .

A short heads-up in case you did not receive Zoom's notification:

Zoom's rpm packages are signed with a GPG key. For releases after Nov 02, 2022 the Linux and Docker GPG signature thumbprint will change from "Key fingerprint: 3960 60CA DD8A 7522 0BFC B369 B903 BF18 61A7 C71D" to "Key fingerprint: 59C8 6188 E22A BB19 BD55 4047 7B04 A1B8 DD79 B481".

Their package signing PGP key may be downloaded from https://zoom.us/download?os=linux, direct link to the new key is https://zoom.us/linux/download/pubkey?version=5-12-6

Any idea why there's no blur option and cannot use virtual background without green screen? Do I need to install any package?

It seems to be that https://aur.archlinux.org/zoom.git no longer exist ? Page 404 Error from the web services.
