@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.

@hexhu, @mnussbaum, and others commenting on the versioning issue. This has been covered at length in previous comments but it cannot be corrected until the next release upstream. Zoom release the same version twice with a silent update using the same version. No, using pkgrel to indicate this would not have been correct. The use of a to indicate this was correct and standard procedure. The only mistake was that it should have been separated from the version as its own segment .a so that it didn't get sorted incorrectly as an alpha version indicator. The maintainer has already indicated they will get that right next time, but it isn't possible to fix this time without introducing an obnoxious epoch version that will never go away.

The versioning seems wrong, should probably be 5.7.6-2 not the current 5.7.6a-1. Breaks pacman upgrade check (see below). On https://zoom.us/download#client_4meeting it shows "Version 5.7.6 (31792.0820)", we should stick to that when packaging. Same format is followed by the latest .PKGINFO: pkgver = 5.7.31792.0820-1.

To those commenting on the checksum error.

If you are using yay then you'll need to remove the zoom tree in ~/.cache/yay otherwise it doesn't do the download properly.

@daniel_shub Well, I am still to blame. I should have checked that in advance. Right, I will do that next time as well.

P.S. thank you for answering @daniel_shub questions.

Thanks for the clarification regarding pkgrel. :)

Wanting to verify if other Linux users have this issue: When I try to set an alternative host for a scheduled meeting, it appears no email is forwarded to the recipients. Neither do they gain host-privileges when connecting to the meeting. Is this feature disabled on Linux?

@hellojack upstream provides the Arch package that this PKGBUILD is based on. That upstream package lists ibus as a dependency. Not obvious to me why it is a dependency, but generally I believe the upstream developers when they say something is a dependency. You can always remove it from your PKGBUILD.

@roper I can see from your error message that you are not using the latest version of this package. The current version saves the source with an extra a in there that does not show in your error message. Please update to the latest commit of this packaging repository.
