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.

@DCengineer I can not reproduce your problem. The packages I build all have 755 as permission settings for the listed directory. Furthermore I would recommend against changing the mode bits of those directories since 755 is used by probably all other packages. Please try building the package yourself without an AUR helper. Should this still not work build without cleaning up the pkg directory, change the permissions there and then repackage. The last recommendation is a little tricky but should work for sure.

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.
