@Rhinoceros - I finally got screen sharing to work under KDE with Wayland. Looks like I'm using the same versions as you:

  • Zoom 6.2.10
  • pipewire 1.2.6

I followed the Screen share section on the Zoom wiki page:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Zoom_Meetings

The only thing I didn't need to do was set XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=gnome. I followed the other steps, and now I can choose my desktop/window to share. Prior to following the wiki I couldn't stop screen sharing without the hanging issue, which I was experiencing prior to 6.2.10.

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.

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

Please add qt5-remoteobjects as a dependency.

@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.

Has anyone got the toolbar to not crash when you click the more (...) button when sharing? As soon as I click away the toolbar and context menu disappear.

I'm running sway on wayland.

This is my sway config related to zoom

279 # Inhibit idle when zoom window is visible
280 for_window [app_id="Zoom"] inhibit_idle visible
281 for_window [app_id="Zoom" title="^zoom$"] border none, floating enable
282 # For specific Zoom windows
283 for_window [app_id="Zoom" title="^(Zoom|About)$"] border pixel, floating enable
284 for_window [app_id="Zoom" title="Settings"] floating enable, floating_minimum_size 960 x 700
285 # Open Zoom Meeting windows on a new workspace (a bit hacky)
286 for_window [app_id="Zoom" title="Zoom Meeting"] workspace "11. zoom", move container to workspace current, floating disable, inhibit_idle open
287 for_window [app_id="Zoom" title="as_toolbar"] workspace "12. zoom share", move container to workspace current, inhibit_idle open
288 # Center zoom toolbar when screensharing
289 bindsym $mod+z exec bash -c "swaymsg -t get_tree > /home/james/tree.json"
290 for_window [app_id="Zoom" title="as_toolbar"] {
291   floating enable
292   move position 50ppt 0
293   move left 402
294   sticky enable
295 }

The only thing I see remotely relevant in the error log is: qt.qpa.wayland: Wayland does not support QWindow::requestActivate()

From testing, the issue seems to be related to the zoom built in notification dialogs. If I start sharing too fast, the audio warning dialog closes, then crashes the toolbar. I presume the context menu/dropdown burger menu re-uses the same logic.

For those whose facing issues on gnome + zoom + pipewire, with the "pacmd not found" message: as weird as it seems, I have removed the ~/.config/zoom dir, and then worked as expected, with audio and screen share working.

This was dying during startup every attempt on a fresh install (no previous version was ever installed) on a current KDE Plasma/Wayland system with Electron28 and Electron27 (AUR) installed. After deleting the directories/files listed by leukimi, below, reinstalling Zoom, and starting from the command line, I received this message:

zoom started.
[0208/031101.232190:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(158)] The SUID sandbox helper binary was
found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting
now. You need to make sure that /opt/zoom/cef/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode
4755.

/opt/zoom/cef/chrome-sandbox was owned by root but had incorrect permissions. Correcting the permissions fixed the problem. It now starts properly.

After having zoom not show and UI, following leukimi's hint of deleting the mentioned directories in the home directory solved the issue for me. The zoom command is now fully functional again, no need for specifying a "zoom" function...

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

zamomin commented on 2023-11-29 09:59 (UTC)

@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.
