Can't start a new meeting #313

Closed d-muis closed 2 years ago

d-muis commented 2 years ago

When I press "New Meeting" it grays out for half a second and does nothing. I can still join meetings, everything else works fine. I believe this broke in the latest update, as I remember it worked fine before.

Deleting ~/.zoom doesn't fix the issue. Reinstalling or repairing the flatpak doesn't fix the issue.

Running Arch with Gnome on Wayland session with Intel drivers, everything up to date.

Fixed:

Zoom doesn't respect XDG specifications and pollutes the user folder with the .zoom directory, on Arch wiki, a note mentions setting the environment variable SSB_HOME="$XDG_DATA_HOME"/zoom, while this moves the contents away from the .zoom directory, opening zoom still keeps creating it, moreover, this prevents the user from being able to start a new meeting, solution: remove said environment variable. Anyway, it would be nice if zoom actually respected XDG specifications.
