Have a look at the PKGBUILD. It will become clear if you just take a glance.
In short: This PKGBUILD is just a thin wrapper around the official Arch package which zoom provides upstream (denoted by the _orig
suffix). The main reason for this package's existence is to fix some dependencies and to make it easier for users to install.
Hence, it is very odd that one should work and not the other! I guess you are missing some optional dependency for your setup to work and zoom happens to flags the same dependency as non-optional.

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:qt5-webengine
installed, and theebeddedBrowserForSSOLogin
line doesn't exist in my configzoomus.conf
. SSO login works just fine (issues with Firefox containers aside).pipewire-pulse
.system.audio.type
defaulted toalsa
for me (or I changed it without realizing it). I probably could have installedpipewire-alsa
and 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
~/.config/zoomus.conf
, please let us know.edh commented on 2016-08-26 11:03 (UTC) (edited on 2017-03-09 10:48 (UTC) by edh)
