@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.

To me having it available through AUR is big win, 1st to get it upgraded when upgrading from AUR (not sure if zoom offers a pacman repo and maintains it), plus the big help of handling dependencies and Arch upgrades which upstream might not fix on time... I do believe there's a lot of value added by having the AUR package...

@edh, eh, well... I got the aur package as we are trained to use a package manager before going windows style. If only we could get the "official" version in the main repos, it would all be peachy.

@pcfreak30

Sure, no worries. This was not meant as some kind of objection. What you say is absolutly true and made me wonder whether there is still a need for an AUR package a couple of times as well.

@edh, sorry then. I did not read all the comments and have been using the aur package. I was not aware and it didn't seem clear.

@pcfreak30

Right, this is pretty obvious from the PKGBUILD itself and I think I discussed in in the comment section as well when zoom first introduced the Arch package.

Thought users of this package should be aware. Zoom is now building arch packages. https://zoom.us/download?os=linux

@Kalinda

This is not what is happening in the PKGBUILD! Please read up on how PKGBUILDs works and how makepkg processed them. The ArchWiki is a great source for information on both of those topics.

About your question: The PKGBUILD basically just recompresses the binary (the orig file) which is provided by upstream and adapts some variables. The output is the non-orig package. It once had a "proper" packaging function but by now it has descended into just a simple AUR wrapper for the upstream Arch package.

Kalinda commented on 2020-02-26 18:26 (UTC)

So I noticed this builds two packages, a regular zoom and a zoom with _orig at the end. What is the purpose the _orig package? Which one should be installed?

Thanks

Login with Google Accounts is not working. When clicking the "Login with Google" Button tons of messages like kde-open5: /opt/zoom/libQt5Core.so.5: version `Qt_5.14' not found (required by kde-open5) show up in the bash. xdg-open also does not fire up zoom
