Arch Linux User Repository

@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've also had issues with 5.13.5-1, though I don't have any of the errors reported by others in zoom_stdout_stderr.log. Here's what a single run of 5.13.5-1 logs:

For now I've downgraded to the previous version I was using which still works fine.

Hi everyone,

over months (already long before kernel 6.x) I've got very high cpu usage as soon as I enable either my internal webcam of my X1 or my external HP webcam in zoom. My main monitor is a 4K 32" LG. But it makes no difference which cam I start and whether I place the fullscreen zoom window on the 4K LG monitor or on the X1 full hd monitor. All 8 cores run with over 90% cpu usage. If I reduce the window size to the possible minimum the cpu usage drops to still high 60%. As soon as I stop my cam the cpu usage immediately drops back to normal.

Using the cam with slack in contrast runs pretty smooth. As the zoom package from AUR just uses the upstream package from zoom.us there are no other ones for me to really test with.

Has anybody else observed this behavior? Or even found a solution for it? Thank you in advance...

This should be the most important setup facts:

@cysp74 Downgraded to 5.13.4 (711) as you suggested. Zoom is working now.

On an unrelated note, ~/.zoom/logs/zoom_stdout_stderr.log logs several calls to /usr/bin/pacmd, which isn't installed on my system since I use pipewire-pulse over pulseaudio. Zoom and audio still are able to work. Is this something I need not be concerned about?

Strange. I've been running zoom 5.13.5-1 with no issues for several days now. (Using XFCE and pipewire) I installed it pre-built from the chaotic-aur repo.

Interesting: I don't even have the directory that you're having issues with:

$ ls -l /opt/zoom/QtQuick/ ls: cannot access '/opt/zoom/QtQuick/': No such file or directory

Where is that coming from? Maybe you can tweak your build somehow so that it doesn't build that?

According to what I see, that library resides here: /opt/zoom/Qt/qml/QtQuick/Controls.2/libqtquickcontrols2plugin.so

Hi, Same issue cropped up here, 5.13.5 looks total garbage, zoom had to be downgraded to .4, error logs recorded this: /opt/zoom/zoom : symbol lookup error: /opt/zoom/QtQuick/Controls.2/libqtquickcontrols2plugin.so: undefined symbol: _ZN13QQmlDirParserC1Ev, version Qt_5_PRIVATE_API

I got zoom to work by downgrading from version 5.13.5 (431) to version 5.13.4 (711) by modifying the PKGBUILD according to https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=zoom&id=8641821c88a52006f747c7b5ad9472177ad08da5

I'm getting the same issue as @angelv. I noticed that, at least in my case, when I run zoom from the command prompt and it just returns the prompt it is because zoom is actually already running (but there is no window or anything visible, just processes you can view with pgrep -l zoom). If I kill all the zoom processes and run zoom from the command line then it doesn't do anything, no window, no prompt, nothing, just seems to idle until I hit ctrl+c.

Also, I checked the ~/.zoom/logs/zoom_stdout_stderr.log file and this is what I get for the last few runs (no idea why they are all different). I think it actually starts multiple zoom processes each time I run it based on the logs.

malloc(): invalid size (unsorted)

Sometimes I get an alternate malloc error that reads malloc_consolidate(): invalid chunk size.

In one instance when I tried starting zoom (after making sure to kill all zoom processes) I got a zoom window saying zoom had crashed and asking if I wanted to send an error report but it disappeared by itself before I interacted with it. Sometimes I get a zoom window with just the window decorations but nothing inside it (not even a white background, just see-through). Usually I don't get anything when I try to run it. It's super inconsistent for no reason.

Not sure if it matters but I'm using XFCE with Pulseaudio.

@angelv can you tail ~/.zoom/logs/zoom_stdout_stderr.log ? Do you see some line about an undefined symbol in one of the Qt libraries in /opt/zoom?

Running zoom in the terminal, I just get back the prompt, but no errors, no windows popping up, etc. Any idea what could be going on? (no problems with Zoom until about last week)

Zoom is currently crashing on startup due to a problem with one of its bundled Qt libs.

/opt/zoom/zoom : symbol lookup error: /opt/zoom/QtQuick/Controls.2/libqtquickcontrols2plugin.so: undefined symbol: _ZN13QQmlDirParserC1Ev, version Qt_5_PRIVATE_API

Crash occurs regardless of display protocol. Do I need to delete the bundled Qt libs? (if relevant, using kde-plasma).
