@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.

A heads up: I upgraded to Zoom 6.0.0 (4563), ahead of the AUR release. First attempts just crashed. I cleared all the local state I could find (~/.zoom/, ~/.cache/zoom/, ~/.config/zoom{,us}.conf), and now zoom will successfully launch, but only in X11/xwayland. I haven't figured out how to get it working natively in Wayland yet (this is a regression). I expect this also breaks screen sharing.

edit: it looks like it was just the xwayland=false in ~/.config/zoomus.conf that was causing issues.

@archisman Please raise your concerns regarding the outdated qt dependency upstream.

archisman commented on 2024-03-08 17:24 (UTC)

The package depends explicitly on qt5-webengine and qt5-remoteobjects. Can we change them to the respective qt6 versions instead?

@nursoda thought it couldn't be a download issue bc I removed and tried again several times, but I was able to download the package a successfully build independent of paru (pkgbuild + pacman), so seems to be either a paru issue or a corrupted package on my end (that was cached so never re-downloaded). Seems like everything is fine with the package - Thanks for the help!

@nursoda Yes, I'll switch with the next release.

"Truncated zstd input" points to a corrupted download. wget https://zoom.us/client/5.17.10.3512/zoom_x86_64.pkg.tar.xzresolves to https://cdn.zoom.us/prod/5.17.10.3512/zoom_x86_64.pkg.tar.xz, which is the URL directly used in the PKGBUILD. So I suspect this was a corrupted download issue.

@edh: Since there now is an official Arch download URL, did you consider switching from to cdn.zoom.us/prod to zoom.us/client in the PKGBUILD?

2024-02-27 update failed to upgrade or install properly for me, both with qt5-remoteobjects pre-installed, and with it installed automatically as a dependency (using paru). Tried completely removing (-Rsnu) zoom and reinstalling to no avail.

Specific error reported by paru is: "could not extract /opt/zoom/cef/libcef.so (Truncated zstd input)".

I'm new to the AUR/arch scene so let me know if there's any more info I can provide to help. Thanks for packaging! ~Nicky

Update: I was able to successfully install zoom with the Arch package hosted by Zoom at https://zoom.us/download via pacman. I'm not sure if this is the same package you based yours off, but it does seem to be working.

Hi @edh thanks for getting back to me.

I don't see how they could "not be needed" if they are linked from the binary... If ldd says its needed then it is. The question is is it already there somewhere?

You already added qt5-remoteobjects which provides libQt5RemoteObjects.so.5 ; similarly libQt5Gamepad.so.5 is provided by qt5-gamepad but that is not currently a dependency here.

I'm sorry I don't have time to dig much further into this, but if it were my package, I'd keep working down these ldd errors and check which packages provide those libraries. They definitely need to be added as deps. Maybe you can also report upstream if you have a line to anybody there and you think their docs are lacking in terms of what is a required / optional dependency.

Regards and thanks for packaging. Mark.

@peter.kehl that's already a dependency...

peter.lyonskehl commented on 2024-02-27 11:54 (UTC)

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

Please add qt5-remoteobjects as a dependency.
