[Solved] zoom video meeting RPM 64b installation

[JJF]

I am running Mageia 7 64 ,dual screen out of an SSD, working fine for sometime.
I tried to install "Zoom us" video meeting as follows:
1. Downloaded RPM version from https://zoom.us/download. (There are few RPM packages to download but all of them directed to the same package)
2. Double clicked the downloaded: zoom_x86_64.rpm and requested to install
3. Received the following error: ".... Some request packages cannot be installed ...due to unsatisfied mesa-drivers)
4. Installing meas-driver (latest as appeared in MCC add / remove software) did not cure the error
I did look at previous similar topic related to zoom 32b but could not identify a proper solution
Please advise

You will need to install it via urpmi --allow-nodeps, and then install any missing library manually.
See e.g. viewtopic.php?p=60328#p60328

You could also install it as a flatpak: https://flathub.org/apps/details/us.zoom.Zoom

Thanks

So, which did you install, and did it work ?

[JJF]

As you suggested I ran
urpmi --allow-nodeps zoom_x86_64.rpm (which I had downloaded from Zoom.us)
after which I had to complement the (2) missing packages, again by invoking urpmi --allow-nodeps
Thanks

I have decided that I need to join the world of the 21st century and set up zoom.
I tried the site https://zoom.uk/download and opened an account but cannot see any downloads. Are they only available from the US site?
Maybe I could try that but I do not want to set up another account.

The link you posted does not seem to lead to any valid website, even less to zoom.us
Why not simply download from https://zoom.us/download ?

The UK link points to a site offering Zoom web hosting so I did try the US link and managed to download a tarball which I was expecting to contain an rpm file or files. Instead it seems to be a self-contained environment from which you can run ZoomLauncher.
I suspect that Zoom is not what I need because I was looking for a way to conect by webcam to something like Facetime on somebody else's iPhone. I do not possess a smartphone of any description. Zoom looks like a cloud-based IRC service. So I shall have to stay in the 20th century.

No, it's not related to Zoom at all, it's just the default page of a web registry / domain seller. If you created an account there, I'd cancel that as soon as possible.

Although in general Zoom is something like you seem to want. It offers the possibility to hold video/voice conferences with multiple people.
Be it on your smartphone, your tablet or your PC, that doesn't matter.

Thanks for the information. Shall cancel my registration asap.
