@edh - dumb question, but did you exit and restart Sway after uninstalling xorg-wayland? If so, what are your relevant env vars? Something like env | grep -ie wayland -e qt. Here's mine (minus a few irrelevant ones):
CLUTTER_BACKEND=wayland
ECORE_EVAS_ENGINE=wayland-egl
ELM_ENGINE=wayland_egl
MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland-egl
SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland
WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-1
XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland
@drybalka,a172 I can uninstall xorg-xwayland and zoom still works for me. I am running sway and use no special configuration for zoom.
@a172 Thank you for the insight! This solved my issue and now Zoom works again. I needed to have xwayland after all (and probably to also set the environment variable QT_QPA_PLATFORM="wayland;xcb") or zoom simply would not start. Maybe it can be added to the dependencies somehow?
@drybalka - even when Zoom is running natively in Wayland, it still need XWayland to start up. I've seen a few other apps with similar behavior. If anyone has insight on how to get native Wayland apps to run without XWayland, I'm all ears.
Was getting a Core Dump when starting Zoom:
zoom[2733] trap int3 ip:62813b9285a5 sp:7e9710e216a0 error:0 in libcef.so
systemd-coredump[3170]: [🡕] Process 3161 (zoom) of user 1000 dumped core.
Zoom Log ( ~/.zoom/logs/zoom_stdout_stderr.log) shows:
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.
I did what it says and Zoom is working again:
chmod 4755 /opt/zoom/cef/chrome-sandbox
chown root:root /opt/zoom/cef/chrome-sandbox
Are there issues with doing what it says?
@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.
HTH
@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)?

@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.confupdates:qt5-webengineinstalled, and theebeddedBrowserForSSOLoginline doesn't exist in my configzoomus.conf. SSO login works just fine (issues with Firefox containers aside).pipewire-pulse.system.audio.typedefaulted toalsafor me (or I changed it without realizing it). I probably could have installedpipewire-alsaand fixed my issues, but I setsystem.autio.type=pulse(a lucky guess) and this worked. This should work for anyone using straight PulseAudio as well.If anyone finds documentation on
