@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 updated to 6.0 and have no issues on wayland, neither with video nor with screen share.

@GaryScottMartin - When I started zoom from the terminal with no previous state, it printed stuff out to the terminal, but not on later launches. That might be a coincidence, but it is worth a shot to see if there is something helpful there. I don't have any other advice, sorry.

For reference, I'm running sway.

@a172 I just installed Zoom this morning and in my ~/,config/zoomus.conf that line was xwayland=true. I am running KDE/Plasma6/Wayland and it won't start at all for me, even after deleting the state. It does work OK in the browser, though.

A heads up: I upgraded to Zoom 6.0.0 (4563), ahead of the AUR release. First attempts just crashed. I cleared all the local state I could find (~/.zoom/, ~/.cache/zoom/, ~/.config/zoom{,us}.conf), and now zoom will successfully launch, but only in X11/xwayland. I haven't figured out how to get it working natively in Wayland yet (this is a regression). I expect this also breaks screen sharing.

edit: it looks like it was just the xwayland=false in ~/.config/zoomus.conf that was causing issues.

@archisman Please raise your concerns regarding the outdated qt dependency upstream.

archisman commented on 2024-03-08 17:24 (UTC)

The package depends explicitly on qt5-webengine and qt5-remoteobjects. Can we change them to the respective qt6 versions instead?

@nursoda thought it couldn't be a download issue bc I removed and tried again several times, but I was able to download the package a successfully build independent of paru (pkgbuild + pacman), so seems to be either a paru issue or a corrupted package on my end (that was cached so never re-downloaded). Seems like everything is fine with the package - Thanks for the help!

edh commented on 2024-02-29 07:19 (UTC)

@nursoda Yes, I'll switch with the next release.

"Truncated zstd input" points to a corrupted download. wget https://zoom.us/client/5.17.10.3512/zoom_x86_64.pkg.tar.xzresolves to https://cdn.zoom.us/prod/5.17.10.3512/zoom_x86_64.pkg.tar.xz, which is the URL directly used in the PKGBUILD. So I suspect this was a corrupted download issue.

@edh: Since there now is an official Arch download URL, did you consider switching from to cdn.zoom.us/prod to zoom.us/client in the PKGBUILD?

2024-02-27 update failed to upgrade or install properly for me, both with qt5-remoteobjects pre-installed, and with it installed automatically as a dependency (using paru). Tried completely removing (-Rsnu) zoom and reinstalling to no avail.

Specific error reported by paru is: "could not extract /opt/zoom/cef/libcef.so (Truncated zstd input)".

I'm new to the AUR/arch scene so let me know if there's any more info I can provide to help. Thanks for packaging! ~Nicky

Update: I was able to successfully install zoom with the Arch package hosted by Zoom at https://zoom.us/download via pacman. I'm not sure if this is the same package you based yours off, but it does seem to be working.
