Arch Linux User Repository

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:

• 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 just set up Zoom in a systemd-nspawn container and discovered the following missing dependencies:

• libxcursor: Zoom will just refuse to start with

  error while loading shared libraries: libXcursor.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
  

• libxkbcommon-x11: Without this, keyboard input will just be ignored. There is a little hint in the log:

  Qt: Failed to create XKB context!
  

• ttf-dejavu: Without this, Zoom just won't show any fonts. A different font would probably do as well, so depending on the ttf-font metapackage might be sufficient.

@archmylinux : It's what I did to install it (and it works great). (It's what I mean by at hand, I would like to understand how to correct the PKGBUILD for it to compil and install directly, I have done quiete a few try but none worked).

Thank for you answer.

@Gregoire, try ⇒ sudo pacman -U /tmp/packerbuild-1000/zoom/zoom/zoom-notTheOriginal.pkg.tar.xz

Hi, I've been trying to use Zoom on my PC, but every time I launch the program, my pc just crashes, no warning, nothing. I'm still unable to understand with is this happening. The screen just turns black, and I can't do anything but to force shutdown. Is there anyone who had this identic issue or knows how to fix this? I've been forced to use the browser version and it really sucks :(

(EDIT) I tried running from the command line and I was only able to capture the log with my phone before it crashed my pc. Hope it helps: https://imgur.com/swR3OZv

Can you confirm that pulseaudio is really required as a dependency? When the pulseaudio socket is enabled, my microphone actually works worse than when it's disabled.

Hello,

I have a strange problem :

packer-aur -S zoom

Aur Targets    (1): zoom

Proceed with installation? [Y/n]

Edit zoom PKGBUILD with $EDITOR? [Y/n]

I could go by hand to install it anyway but I don't understand what's wrong here...

Any idea ?

Thank you very much.

Anyone been able to figure out why GIF's do not auto play in Zoom on Arch Linux? I have to click on it to open it up in Image Viewer. Other distros work out of the box. Is there an additionaly dependency I might need to install?

I just solved my below issue. For anyone who finds this the issue is that I had to uninstall xf86-video-intel it was causing issues with my intel gpu.

The zoom app seems to not be re-rendering for me. It seems to be responding to events i.e. clicking on 'sign in', but only re-renders when I open a secondary window (the 'about' window). I am running arch (5.5) using xmonad and LG3D. If anyone has any ideas that would be that would be really helpful!

p.s. when I open zoom from the commandline the only error I see in the output is this, but it seems minor

qt.svg: link image0 hasn't been detected!
