@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.

@sameer Indeed, after symlinking I do not get any relevant error info anymore - zoom just does not start at all with an error "zoom was exited due to a handled signal: 5". Any ideas? =)

does anyone have a positive experience running zoom with pipewire on wayland (sway, in particular)?

@drybalka

Yes -- I am running Sway + Pipewire + Zoom with no issues.

The pacmd not found error is because pipewire-pulse does not provide pacmd but does provide pactl. You can just symlink /usr/bin/pacmd to /usr/bin/pactl to get rid of the warning. This works because pactl is a subset of operations supported in pacmd, and Zoom does not need any options other than those in pactl (AFAIK).

It is not a big deal though, Zoom worked fine for me even if it couldn't find pacmd.

BTW, when I google "sh: line 1: pacmd: command not found" this is the only link that comes up:

https://forum.garudalinux.org/t/garuda-nvidia-wayland-gnome-and-zoom/19679

Seems like this must be something wayland related.

@drybalka That's a really odd error by the way. Zoom isn't a shell script:

[darose@titan ~]$ file /usr/bin/zoom
/usr/bin/zoom: symbolic link to /opt/zoom/ZoomLauncher

[darose@titan ~]$ file /opt/zoom/ZoomLauncher
/opt/zoom/ZoomLauncher: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=6ea54f33432041c8c1cfba3bfd1948ca717d398c, stripped

So I'm not even clear what shell script is getting executed that's calling pacmd and failing. I would suggest trying to track that down.

@darose Well, it still doesn't work for me =( I am not sure why this may be important, but I'll specify the question a bit more: does anyone have a positive experience running zoom with pipewire on wayland (sway, in particular)?

darose commented on 2022-05-31 13:24 (UTC) (edited on 2022-05-31 13:25 (UTC) by darose)

I use zoom with pipewire with no issues, and I've not run into that error with pacmd either. I have the following pipewire packages installed:

gst-plugin-pipewire 1:0.3.51-1
libpipewire02 0.2.7-2
pipewire 1:0.3.51-1
pipewire-alsa 1:0.3.51-1
pipewire-pulse 1:0.3.51-1
wireplumber 0.4.10-3

And the following pulse packages installed:

libpulse 15.0-4
pipewire-pulse 1:0.3.51-1
xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin 0.4.3-2

Does anyone have a positive experience with running zoom with pipewire instead of pulseaudio? When I run it I get “sh: line 1: pacmd: command not found”. However, pacmd is provided only by the pulseaudio base package and is absent in pipewire-pulseaudio. Am I missing some option to force zoom to use pipewire?

edh commented on 2022-05-27 19:06 (UTC)

@nursoda Yes, this is an upstream error and no it can not be fixed in the PKGBUILD with any amount of work that could be considered reasonable because they only ship binary packages.

nursoda commented on 2022-05-27 19:00 (UTC)

Zoom used to create './cache/zoom/'; since a while, it creates and uses './cache/zoom\ /'. Is that an upstream error? Could it be corrected in the PKGBUILD?

nursoda commented on 2022-05-23 17:33 (UTC)

Mic works fine for me before and after update to 5.10.6. I'm using pulseaudio (only): I uninstalled pipewire after I got bitten by https://archlinux.org/news/undone-replacement-of-pipewire-media-session-with-wireplumber/
