After using Zoom for two years without any issues, I noticed some weeks ago that I could no longer share my screen (on X11, no Wayland involved): The button to start sharing is there, but the dialog to select a window or full screen etc. didn't appear at all.
Since my searches did not yield any hints, I just wanted to give Flatpak a chance. So I installed it parallel to this AUR. Starting it, I noticed that German translation is missing (not a deal breaker) but it wouldn't "migrate its database" (permissions issues?). So I just uninstalled it a couple of minutes later.
Weird thing is: After that, clicking the "Share Screen" button yielded a dialog again, so that part is back to normal (although I don't see how above actions could have influenced that).
I now face a different issue: I start Zoom, log in, click "Keep me logged in", enter my 2FA TOTP code, and everything is working. But when I quit Zoom (via its notification button, without signing out) and re-start it, I need to log in again. So my login isn't remembered now. That part WAS working correctly before my above actions.
I see this in ~/.zoom/zoom_stdout_stderr.log:

Any idea what could cause and how to tackle this?

@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:qt5-webengine
installed, and theebeddedBrowserForSSOLogin
line doesn't exist in my configzoomus.conf
. SSO login works just fine (issues with Firefox containers aside).pipewire-pulse
.system.audio.type
defaulted toalsa
for me (or I changed it without realizing it). I probably could have installedpipewire-alsa
and fixed my issues, but I setsystem.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.edh commented on 2016-08-26 11:03 (UTC) (edited on 2017-03-09 10:48 (UTC) by edh)
