@Rhinoceros - I finally got screen sharing to work under KDE with Wayland. Looks like I'm using the same versions as you:

  • Zoom 6.2.10
  • pipewire 1.2.6

I followed the Screen share section on the Zoom wiki page:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Zoom_Meetings

The only thing I didn't need to do was set XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=gnome. I followed the other steps, and now I can choose my desktop/window to share. Prior to following the wiki I couldn't stop screen sharing without the hanging issue, which I was experiencing prior to 6.2.10.

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.

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!

@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.

Hi @edh thanks for getting back to me.

I don't see how they could "not be needed" if they are linked from the binary... If ldd says its needed then it is. The question is is it already there somewhere?

You already added qt5-remoteobjects which provides libQt5RemoteObjects.so.5 ; similarly libQt5Gamepad.so.5 is provided by qt5-gamepad but that is not currently a dependency here.

I'm sorry I don't have time to dig much further into this, but if it were my package, I'd keep working down these ldd errors and check which packages provide those libraries. They definitely need to be added as deps. Maybe you can also report upstream if you have a line to anybody there and you think their docs are lacking in terms of what is a required / optional dependency.

Regards and thanks for packaging. Mark.

marcool04 commented on 2024-02-27 11:55 (UTC)

@peter.kehl that's already a dependency...

peter.lyonskehl commented on 2024-02-27 11:54 (UTC)

2024-02-27 update fails to install, unless you also install qt5-remoteobjects.

Please add qt5-remoteobjects as a dependency.

edh commented on 2024-02-27 08:08 (UTC)

@marcool04

Thanks for running these checks. I think most of these dependencies aren't really needed or packaged with zoom. Can you contact the zoom support to raise the issue of missing decencies with them? All decencies that they list in their package should be listed here as well.

Has anyone got the toolbar to not crash when you click the more (...) button when sharing? As soon as I click away the toolbar and context menu disappear.

I'm running sway on wayland.

This is my sway config related to zoom

279 # Inhibit idle when zoom window is visible
280 for_window [app_id="Zoom"] inhibit_idle visible
281 for_window [app_id="Zoom" title="^zoom$"] border none, floating enable
282 # For specific Zoom windows
283 for_window [app_id="Zoom" title="^(Zoom|About)$"] border pixel, floating enable
284 for_window [app_id="Zoom" title="Settings"] floating enable, floating_minimum_size 960 x 700
285 # Open Zoom Meeting windows on a new workspace (a bit hacky)
286 for_window [app_id="Zoom" title="Zoom Meeting"] workspace "11. zoom", move container to workspace current, floating disable, inhibit_idle open
287 for_window [app_id="Zoom" title="as_toolbar"] workspace "12. zoom share", move container to workspace current, inhibit_idle open
288 # Center zoom toolbar when screensharing
289 bindsym $mod+z exec bash -c "swaymsg -t get_tree > /home/james/tree.json"
290 for_window [app_id="Zoom" title="as_toolbar"] {
291   floating enable
292   move position 50ppt 0
293   move left 402
294   sticky enable
295 }

The only thing I see remotely relevant in the error log is: qt.qpa.wayland: Wayland does not support QWindow::requestActivate()

From testing, the issue seems to be related to the zoom built in notification dialogs. If I start sharing too fast, the audio warning dialog closes, then crashes the toolbar. I presume the context menu/dropdown burger menu re-uses the same logic.
