@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.

@edh, sorry then. I did not read all the comments and have been using the aur package. I was not aware and it didn't seem clear.

@pcfreak30

Right, this is pretty obvious from the PKGBUILD itself and I think I discussed in in the comment section as well when zoom first introduced the Arch package.

Thought users of this package should be aware. Zoom is now building arch packages. https://zoom.us/download?os=linux

@Kalinda

This is not what is happening in the PKGBUILD! Please read up on how PKGBUILDs works and how makepkg processed them. The ArchWiki is a great source for information on both of those topics.

About your question: The PKGBUILD basically just recompresses the binary (the orig file) which is provided by upstream and adapts some variables. The output is the non-orig package. It once had a "proper" packaging function but by now it has descended into just a simple AUR wrapper for the upstream Arch package.

So I noticed this builds two packages, a regular zoom and a zoom with _orig at the end. What is the purpose the _orig package? Which one should be installed?

Thanks

Login with Google Accounts is not working. When clicking the "Login with Google" Button tons of messages like kde-open5: /opt/zoom/libQt5Core.so.5: version `Qt_5.14' not found (required by kde-open5) show up in the bash. xdg-open also does not fire up zoom

@iTanguy I wrote a mail to the zoom support team about this. Thanks for the heads-up.

License file is missing from the Arch package; when "custom" is used, the packaging should include a copy of the license.

Note that apparently it's not in the archive I can download from their web site; but I don't know how to report to Zoom directly.

I'm still having trouble as of latest build running zoom under gnome-wayland. Not sure if this is a qt bug or a zoom bug, but on launch I get: 

ZoomLauncher started.
Zoom not exist at current directory - /home/matt
Zoom path is: /opt/zoom
cmd line: 
CreateReportChannel bp_server_fd=4
$HOME = /home/matt 
export SSB_HOME=/home/matt/.zoom; export QSG_INFO=1; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/zoom; export BREAKPAD_CLIENT_FD=3; /opt/zoom/zoom "" 
zoom started.
Client: Breakpad is using Client-Server Mode! client fd = 3
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "wayland"
in "".

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, xcb.

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
ZoomLauncher: new dump generated from pid 141263, path: /home/matt/.zoom/logs/bd17c6b4-726c-4021-c7abcca6-44a03ed3.dmp
$HOME = /home/matt 
sh: line 1: 141263 Aborted                 (core dumped) /opt/zoom/zoom ""
success to create child process,status is 34304.
zoom exited normally.
Something went wrong while running zoom,exit code is 134.
ZoomLauncher exit.

prepending QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland doesn't change the output, even though qt5-wayland is installed.

Thanks for any hints!

@ambantis Sounds like a bug in zoom. Can you report this upstream?
