Zoom 6.4 troubles on Linux

[andrew78]

Hi guys,

I have been using Zoom for a while now, and it has worked really well.  However, the new 6.4 client seems to be buggy on Linux.

I am primarily trying to use it on a tower running Debian 12.

I just tested 6.4.3 and 6.3.11.

I did the same thing with both, set up a meeting on this tower PC, using my free Zoom account, and connected to it using the same account from my laptop.

For both versions it allowed the connection, video came through, but I couldn't hear audio from the laptop (maybe unrelated, probably not significant, I only had my phone to play sounds near the laptop).

The main problem is that when the laptop left the meeting, for 6.4.3, it did not notice that the laptop had left the meeting, it ran 3 cores out of 4 at maximum, Zoom failed to exit the meeting on the tower, and crashed the whole computer when I tried to kill it.

When the laptop left the meeting hosted by 6.3.11, Zoom noticed the laptop had left, and exited completely cleanly, no problems.

Just to say that using Zoom 6.4.6, although it is more resource hungry than 6.3.11, the bugs mentioned above seem to have been fixed, so it is much more stable.

Thank you, developers!

The latest Zoom for linux ( 6.4.10.2027 ) causes thousands of SELinux  violations on AlmaLinux 9.5 . They are all of type selinuxuser_execmod . Turning off execmode is generally not recommended. As for how to fix it this page gives a suggestion

  ( one or more library need to be set  textrel_shlib_t  )
