Hello,

Just installed the Fedora 32 bit zoom. There were errors about a libvid file but it installed. Starts ok but I cannot display video during meeting. Only a dark zoom screen. The person at the other end see me fine. I have read the other posts and I have the libx11 file installed.

Code: Select all
5.6.14-desktop586-2.mga7
lxqt with compiz


thanks.

Still having the same problem. I know the audio is working. I tested using the zoom test site. No video output. Thanks.

Update. I uninstalled the app and then reinstalled. Getting error about missing depend.

Code: Select all
libgstvideo-0.10.so.0


used at prompt

urpmf libgstvideo-0.10.so.0


nothing returned. Using the Fedora 32 rpm. Also tried with the zoom tar file and same response. Thanks.

Could you at least please post the full error message ?
Apart from that, we don't have that library packaged.

You could try installing zoom as flatpak: https://flathub.org/apps/details/us.zoom.Zoom

I have attached an image with the error from the Fedora rpm. I had also tried the red hat and that was the one with the libvid error.

Regarding the flatpak which I have never used

used the following command from recommended site
Code: Select all
flatpak install flathub us.zoom.Zoom


getting the following error

Code: Select all
Looking for matches…
error: Nothing matches us.zoom.Zoom in remote flathub


Thanks,

Please provide the output of
Code: Select all
flatpak remote-list -d


You may need to delete flathub and readd it again like so, as root:
Code: Select all
flatpak remote-delete flathub
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo


Although zoom flatpak is x86_64 only, so if you're on a 32bit install you cannot use the flatpak
Code: Select all
flatpak remote-ls -d --arch="*" | grep -i zoom
Zoom            us.zoom.Zoom            stable  x86_64  flathub app/us.zoom.Zoom/x86_64/stable  ab3b78a624e8    org.freedesktop.Platform/x86_64/19.08        93.2 kB 42.0 MB

I reinstalled flatpak using your above instructions. Since I am using 32 bit with 2 gig ram I ill not be installing zoom via flatpak. I assume that this zoom problem cannot be solved.
Thanks for your help in this matter.
