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 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.

I've been getting a series of permissions errors when I try installing the latest update. It says that my filesystem is using 755 and the package wants 775. Is it safe to change the permissions in the directories listed? /opt/ /usr/bin/ /usr/share/ /usr/share/doc/ /usr/share/mime/ /usr/share/mime/packages/ /usr/share/pixmaps /usr/share/applications/

@Drew AFAIK there is no difference between the two packages. Therefore one should not be superior to the other. The PKGBUILD originated from a time when there was no Arch package available and has since been kept to ease installation (see the pinned comment). However I agree that it would be best to use the provided package from their website. Though this will undoubtedly make for a pretty odd PKGBUILD.

I don't see any advantage to downloading the deb version from their website, unpacking it, repacking it into pkg.tar.xz, and then installing that, when Zoom already provides a pkg.tar.xz version made for Arch at the very same website. If you really want a PKGBUILD up here, wouldn't it be better to at least use the Arch package as the source? I feel more comfortable downloading the correct version from their site.

Zoom will lock up my X after 15-30m on a call and it will be impossible to recover from. Even if I manage to kill zoom, programs like Chromium still have terrible glitches and I need to reboot. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? For reference, this is on AwesomeWM. This has happened four times so far.

@ryanvade I added a couple of additional dependencies. Please let me know whether that fixed the problem.

Screen sharing seems to be no longer working

@mvdan Not exactly, gstreamer0.10 was removed from the dependency array a couple of days ago, but I just recently increased the pkgrel to force a rebuild for all users. I assumed that if the update would have caused problems for those users which rebuild the package themselves, they would have noted in the comments. Since that did not happen, I guess zoom works without this dependency.

mvdan commented on 2017-01-26 21:32 (UTC)

Ah, you just pushed that now :) Thanks!

edh commented on 2017-01-26 21:26 (UTC)

@mvdan Yes, I dropped the dependency for the reasons explained in my previous comment.

mvdan commented on 2017-01-26 21:16 (UTC)

@edh have the gstreamer0.10 deps been dropped? I can't see it. Thanks!
