Zoom : can't share my screen

Postby lechi » May 4th, '20, 01:53

Hello,

I have some meetings using Zoom, actualy.
All is correct but one thing : I can't share my screen.

Here is the pop up text :

Can not start share, we only support wayland on GNOME with Ubuntu17 and above, Fedora 25 and above, Debain 9 and above, CentOS 8 and above, OpenSUSE Leap 15 and above, Oracle Linux 8 and above, Arch Linux, AnterGos, Manjaro. If your OS is not on the list, please use x11 instead.


I don't really anderstand the end : "please use x11 instead".
What have I to do ?

My PC
- mageia 7
- linux 5.6.6-server-1-mga7
- 64-bit
- Gnome Wayland


Thanks in advance for any help.

Goodnight

Chi

Wayland and X11 are display servers.
you should have both installed, and you can get to choose which at login.

as root what does
Code: Select all
# drakdm
report?

if there are more than one installed and available, one will be highlighted, please indicate which.

You want to log out, and select a desktop session that does not have "wayland" in the name - either GNOME, GNOME on Xorg or GNOME classic should work.

For completeness sake, which one did you choose ?

Also, please mark the thread as [SOLVED] by editing the subject of the first post, thanks in advance.
