Post Body

I recently needed to upgrade Zoom. I went to the Zoom website, they have a file for Arch. I installed it using "sudo pacman -U zoom_x86_64.pkg.tar.xz " that gave no errors.

When I ran Zoom it crashed immediately. I turned on Qt plugin debugging using "export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1". This helped me find the culprit. I found the cause of the problem shown in the logs in the directory "~/.zoom/logs". One of the logs showed the error "Cannot load library /opt/zoom/platforms/libqxcb.so: (libxkbcommon-x11.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)". I confirmed I didn't have it using "ldconfig -p".

So, I installed libxkbcommon-x11 using pacman. After that Zoom worked.
