Yes, it is the right Zoom, but with the dependency issues I have had,
will it run? I no longer need Zoom; it was used while meetings in
person were prevented by the social distancing rules.

All I can say is that I clicked my desktop shortcut/launcher,
logged into zoom, clicked up a terminal and launched
firefox https://zoom.us/test
and when I clicked a join meeting, I see myself from the usb web cam
jacked into usb port on front of desktop pc.

I no longer need Zoom; it was used while meetings in
person were prevented by the social distancing rules.

I must be nice to be in a country that has the virus under complete control.

Anyone wanting to get zoom working in this group needs to start start
a new thread. I would NOT care to see this thread highjacked for troubleshooting or virus discussion.

And they still are. Where are you? If they have relaxed the social
distancing rules, be prepared for a spike in cases, and the
reimposition of even harsher rules, or, if the people in charge are
stubborn, be prepared for a lot more deaths.
I do not know what "dependency " issues you had. You presumably did
install the required dependencies and thus you will now already have
them

Hmmm!! Funny you should mention "re-imposition of even harsher rules" as
Doug and I live in Victoria, Australia, which has been slapped into a 5
day total lock-down, started Saturday, due to a couple of cases of the
more serious U.K.-variant CoViD-19 popping their ugly heads up. ;-(

Agreed. That is why you have to do things a bit more intelligently on
Mageia when trying to install a Redhat or Fedora package.

Not enough of my associates, world-wide weirdos, do Zoom meetings.

So the problem is social, not technical. That I probably cannot help
with.

Very true.

There is a user can't compile checkinstall on OpenSuse

Sounds like a problem for a different group than alt.os.linux.mageia

(In Mageia, it is in the repos.) Mageia's
libxcb-xtest is different from those in Fedora and Mint.

A very good reason to not mix rpms from other distributions.

With the
lockdown, my radio club's AGM will be held over zoom.
I will wait until there is one in the Mageia repos.

There is a Mageia zoom rpm, problem is that it is a game, not Zoom.

Seeing the amount of releases, guessing you will not be seeing one for
Zoom in the near future.

I used the "scrip" command to get all the output from the downloaded
zoom rpm.

I then created an install_zoom bash script to install all the Mageia
rpms prior to installing the zoom rpm. Snippet from install_zoom:



#**************************
#* main code starts here
#**************************

progress "\n\t # Running $_exe\n"
rm --force $_xmsg_fn

ck_cmd_line

x_urpmi lib64xcb-xtest0
x_urpmi gnu-free-fonts-common
x_urpmi gnu-free-fonts-compat
x_urpmi ibus-gtk
x_urpmi ibus-gtk3
x_urpmi ibus-m17n
x_urpmi librsvg
x_urpmi m17n-db
x_urpmi m17n-lib


x_urpmi is a wrapper around urpmi which checks if rpm is installed
and if so, skips installing it again.


/local/bin/pull_zoom
and if Zoom already installed
urpme --auto zoom
install_pubkey
urpmi --allow-nodeps --force $_pkg_fn

ln --symbolic --force /local/bin/zoom /usr/local/bin/zoom
ln --symbolic --force /local/bin/pull_zoom /local/cron/weekly/pull_zoom

Snippet from /local/bin/zoom

unset QT_PLUGIN_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/zoom
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/zoom

/usr/bin/zoom 2> $_xmsg_fn
_rtn_code=$?
if [ $_rtn_code -ne 0 ] ; then
echo "
/usr/bin/zoom
above message from /usr/bin/zoom and return code is $_rtn_code
Message from $_exe
" >> $_xmsg_fn
xmsg FATAL
fi

xmsg is a wrapper around xmessage.
FATAL launches xmessage with a red background and white foregrand
