@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.

zeroconf: yay is not your package manager, pacman is. pacman is not responsible for building packages, that's what makepkg and its friends are for. it would be more accurate to state this is a problem with Zoom, since the "build" very simply repackages upstream's archive. neither pacman nor makepkg have much say in how the binaries are produced in this case.

that being said: i too have been running into issues with Zoom dumping core as soon as it started, which seemed to be related to the bundled libcef.so. building in a clean chroot and wiping out ~/.zoom/ finally produced console output that indicated /opt/zoom/cef/chrome-sandbox was not setuid, and after "sudo chmod 4755 /opt/zoom/cef/chrome-sandbox" it began loading normally. is there anything in your omitted console output or your journal that might indicate a similar problem?

Not building manually (have never done it), using package manager to install packages. If we really need abandon package manager and start building manually - this renders package management useless. Tried:

yay --cleanmenu --rebuild -S zoom
rm -fr .zoom/
zoom

... still nothing - Zoom won't start.

@cjm In general it is a good idea to build in a clean environment (preferably a chroot). Cleaning up the environment however is not the job of the PKGBUILD.

@gdower Thank you! Deleting pkg/ and src/ before building the package finally fixed my undefined symbol error. (It seems to me the PKGBUILD should do that if necessary.)

Seems like the "hide floating meeting controls" option is missing and has been disabled in zoom-5.14.0. Anyone know if there's any way to re-enable that? Maybe in a config file? It's a nuisance to have the meeting controls hiding a big chunk of my screen share.

zeroconf commented on 2023-03-24 10:49 (UTC)

Even current 5.14.0-1 won't start. When trying to start from CLI, no output - just won't start. Once the system tray icon shortly appears but less than second disappears and that's all. When removed ~/.zoom/ folder temporarily to another location and tried to start Zoom again from CLI with clean settings, then I got lots of output and most relevant part:

Client: Breakpad is using Single Client Mode! client fd = -1

For anyone (@cysp74) getting the following error:

/opt/zoom/zoom : symbol lookup error: /opt/zoom/QtQuick/Controls.2/libqtquickcontrols2plugin.so: undefined symbol: _ZN13QQmlDirParserC1Ev, version Qt_5_PRIVATE_API

Within the PKGBUILD directory try deleting the pkg and src directories, the broken .tar.xz and broken .pkg.tar.zst files, then rebuild the package. That fixed it for me. Or just re-clone the repo and re-build. I suspect there were leftover files from a previous zoom build causing the error.

For the past 7~8 days (with 2 intervening updates of my Linux kernel) I have not been able to connect to any Zoom session with v5.13.11 (1288). The start of this issue coincided with me trying to connect with SSO, through my organization. That one attempt failed for obscure reasons. Since then, nothing 'doing. Error messages are:

either 1) "It looks like we are unable to connect. Please check your network connection again.", obtained when trying to connect to my

or 2) "An unknown error occurred. Please use this meeting through your browser. Error code 5003." ... when trying to connect to my private meeting room

or 3) "Timeout" when trying to login with my account user and password from this desktop app.

No joy either when signing out from all devices from my Zoom profile page and signing back in from this desktop app.

I am stuck. Any pointer welcome.

@zeph2 I had the same error as @aljinovic (i.e. qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found; complete log here ). I didn't have any symbol lookup errors that you and others have reported, so it seems like there might be two different issues.

zeph2 commented on 2023-03-07 15:44 (UTC)

@aljinovic @terru I have qt5-base installed for other reasons, but zoom still crashes at startup with the same error as reported by cysp74 on 2023-02-09 10:09 (UTC). I have tried playing a bit with qt packages, but I have yet to find a solution on my system. I am using the latest zoom version from AUR.
