Zoom wouldn't start from chrome. The launcher would start, then when you click to sign in zoom itself would simply not start, no error message.

Update short answer: Don't forget to put kde and plasma in your global use flags if you use kde-plasma.

When you click the button,
The following would appear in ~/.zoom/logs/zoom_stdout_stderr.log

Code:

QProcess: Destroyed while process ("./zopen") is still running.
/usr/bin/xdg-open: line 786: kde-open: command not found
QProcess: Destroyed while process ("./zopen") is still running.
/usr/bin/xdg-open: line 786: kde-open: command not found


Well lookee there:

Code:

jesnow@bartali ~ $ kde-open
bash: kde-open: command not found
jesnow@bartali ~ $ locate kde-open
jesnow@bartali ~ $ locate open | grep kde
jesnow@bartali ~ $


No wonder at all, kde-open doesn't exist. Where is it?
(check in another machine).

Code:

jesnow@vanaert ~ $ equery belongs /usr/bin/kde-open
 * Searching for /usr/bin/kde-open ...
kde-plasma/kde-cli-tools-6.2.4 (/usr/bin/kde-open)
jesnow@vanaert ~ $ equery depends kde-cli-tools
 * These packages depend on kde-cli-tools:
app-office/libreoffice-24.2.7.2 (kde-plasma/kde-cli-tools)
kde-plasma/plasma-meta-6.2.4 (>=kde-plasma/kde-cli-tools-6.2.4:6)
sys-apps/keyexec-0.1.5 (kde ? kde-plasma/kde-cli-tools:6)
                       (kde ? kde-plasma/kde-cli-tools:6)
x11-misc/xdg-utils-1.2.1-r8 (plasma ? kde-plasma/kde-cli-tools)


So "emerge kde-cli-tools" (normally installed by plasma-meta)
and all is well. It was a hidden consequence of installing plasma by hand.

But now:

Code:

QProcess: Destroyed while process ("./zopen") is still running.
kf.kio.gui: Failed to determine systemd version, falling back to extremely legacy forking mode.
Opening in existing browser session.
QProcess: Destroyed while process ("./zopen") is still running.
kf.kio.gui: Failed to determine systemd version, falling back to extremely legacy forking mode.


I don't know if that's something to worry about, zoom started now, so I'm good.
Looks like kde frameworks expects to use systemd.


Cheers,
Jon.
