Tested 6.2.0-1. Sharing works for me, but it still crashes after stopping. The workaround for me is still downgrading pipewire and libpipewire to 1.0.7 before meetings.

@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.

@joaocandre,@TripleSpeeder Can you try installing pipewire-alsa? Zoom runs just fine for me but I do have pipewire-alsa installed (which provides pulseaudio-alsa).

TripleSpeeder commented on 2023-07-10 13:58 (UTC)

@cbrake I got the exact same issue. Please let us know if you find a fix for this...

I'm using pipewire getting the pacmd: command not found error mentioned by @urbanslug, but can't install pulseaudio-utils because it isn't available anymore. pacmd is only provided by pulseaudio package which I'm unable to install as it conflicts with pipewire. Is downgrading the only known solution for this? Because I assume previous versions also used pulseaudio and therefore would still rely on pacmd?

I also have no ~/.config/zoomus.conf, and can only get anything out of zoom if I delete ~/.zoom completely before running from the command line.

My setup:

  • MSI Prestige with a i7-1195G7
  • Intel graphics
  • Wayland
  • Pipewire audio

If I clean ~/.zoom, Zoom starts up and works fine (when not logged in).

If I try to log in, Zoom starts and I see a spinner saying "loading sidebar" and then zoom stops.

Logs are not very helpful:

Appreciate any thoughts on how to debug/fix this.

@zeynepseda bsdtar is not invoked directly in the PKGBUILD. I think your makepkg instance is misconfigured.

I've got the same issue as @neuronestanco and google hasn't been forthcoming.

Running GNOME / Wayland, attempting to open any of the in-call menus (e.g. "View" or the caret "^" menus beside the mic/camera icons) only works occasionally. Sometimes the menu appears to open but then quickly disappears entirely, other times the menu will be visible with no text. Usually if I click enough times I can get a functional menu to appear.

The only hint I have here is the following in the Zoom log, and I have no idea if it's normal:

QBasicTimer::start: Timers cannot have negative timeouts

urbanslug commented on 2023-06-15 12:44 (UTC)

To the maintainer and people who are running wayland and have an Nvidia graphics card the current version (5.14.10-1) is broken. The solution I had was to downgrade to zoom-5.14.7-1. For reference look at:

Please, there is a problem with the "view" window on the top left; it is necessary to click many times before the choice menu for the type of visualization appears
