@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.

Can confirm that changing pkgver to 15.5.7 and subversion to 6521 does build correctly. Here's my updated PKGBUILD:

pkgver=5.15.7

I recently ran into a problem where the package included the wrong versions of libraries and as a result zoom would not run.

I think the fix is to clean the package directory before rebuilding the package.

Latest upstream version 5.15.7 subversion 6521 seems to build and load as does the current PKGBUILD for 5.15.5 subversion 5603..... i.e. I think it is "a.o.k." to upgrade these parameters in the PKGBUILD and .SRCINFO files.

I have two Arch computers -- sidebar works on one (Nvidia graphics), and crashes on the other (Intel graphics). I'm not sure if the Nvidia/Intel is the difference, or if there is something else different between the machines.

@tomtrebicky -- your workaround for the sidebar crashing worked for me -- thanks for sharing!

tomtrebicky commented on 2023-07-12 13:04 (UTC)

A workaround for the "sidebar" crashing issue found here https://community.zoom.com/t5/Meetings/Debian-12-zoom-crashes-just-after-login/m-p/126297

I found a workaround for this issue start zoom with QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb, and toggle off sidebar. after that you can run zoom with QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland and it will not crash untill you toggle the sidebar back 😃

@edh thanks for the suggestion -- I checked and already have pipewire-alsa installed.

edh commented on 2023-07-11 09:02 (UTC)

@joaocandre,@TripleSpeeder Can you try installing pipewire-alsa? Zoom runs just fine for me but I do have pipewire-alsa installed (which provides pulseaudio-alsa).

TripleSpeeder commented on 2023-07-10 13:58 (UTC)

@cbrake I got the exact same issue. Please let us know if you find a fix for this...

joaocandre commented on 2023-07-10 12:49 (UTC)

I'm using pipewire getting the pacmd: command not found error mentioned by @urbanslug, but can't install pulseaudio-utils because it isn't available anymore. pacmd is only provided by pulseaudio package which I'm unable to install as it conflicts with pipewire. Is downgrading the only known solution for this? Because I assume previous versions also used pulseaudio and therefore would still rely on pacmd?

I also have no ~/.config/zoomus.conf, and can only get anything out of zoom if I delete ~/.zoom completely before running from the command line.
