[SOLVED] Wine64 & Zoom

business_kid · 06-15-2022, 08:00 AM

With the huge majority of Arm sbcs running linux, it was only predictable that when Arm released a Zoom version, it would be a windows one. But it was 64bit, so I decided to give it a go under wine. The M$ zoom client works under wine on x86_64.

Wine-7.10 was a 3 hour straightforward build using the SBo Slackbuild on my RazPi 4 w/4G @1.5 Ghz

Code:

alias make="make-j4"
WINE64=yes ./wine.SlackBuild

zoom.us hides the Windows Arm client on it's website but you can select it here:https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/art...oom-Installers

Unfortunately the Zoom Installer pukes. It trapped this error: https://pastebin.com/fjQCsPbD

This is the linux terminal error:

Code:

bash-5.1$ wine64 ZoomInstaller.exe
0100:fixme:kernelbase:AppPolicyGetThreadInitializationType FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFA, 000000000326FE90

011c:fixme:imm:ImmReleaseContext (000000000001007C, 0000000000249440): stub

Now 'page faults' are memory paging errors. Thay came to us with the 80286, which had a 16 bit databus & 20 bit address bus; so memory paging registers got stuck in. Nowadays we have more data bus lines than address bus ones.

EDIT:Just checking my links posting this, and I realized there was an Arm MSI installer. It tried harder, but puked with this error:

Well this is sinking without trace.

Changing windows versions varied the errors and even got me a few dialogue boxes. But zoom, which is lousy software at the best of times continues to puke.

Nobody has any clue about wine on arm yet, except someone wrote a patch set, and it compiles. Zoom is closed source. Nothing can be done about this:

Code:

wine: Unhandled page fault on read access…

which rules out the exe installer. These ones from the Zoom msi

Code:

0100:fixme:msi:internal_ui_handler internal UI not implemented for message 0x0b000000 (UI level = 5)
0100:fixme:msi:internal_ui_handler internal UI not implemented for message 0x0b000000 (UI level = 5)
bash-5.1$

imply the code is incomplete.

Well, Zoom does have an official client for Linux: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/art...-Zoom-on-Linux. The link you shared has the Linux downloads listed as well.
Plus, you can also dial into calls from the browser itself without installing anything (which is what I do) and that is working fine for me so you can also try that out.

Another option is to follow the steps here to install Zoom on the RaspberryPi: https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-zoom/

The linux client is x86_64. Like all Zoom software, it sucks. I use it regularly. I have no choice, really.

Yes, I can start a meeting under linux (& linux Arm) via firefox. I can't join one, because the browser tries to hand that job off to the zoom client for Arm64 that isn't available. I'm not going trying to emulate on a Pi when That's really work for a computer. Even not emulating, zoom used 100-150% CPU on my old twin core laptop @2.4 Ghz. It would be swamped, and overheated

My playing with the M$ .msi installer left me with a directory where the .msi installer was
~/Downloads/Zoom/Zoom(ARM64)/Zoom/ in which there was one dll, and a bin/ & resources/ directories. So I put the binaries, dlls & top directory stuff in ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Zoom. The resources which looked like subdirectories of data wene there also. The single dll on it's own went in
~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32, and I tried the binaries. Zoom_Launcher.exe gave me the 'unhandled page' error, which is the kiss of death in wine. The only recourse is to try a different program version.

So I'm marking this solved, because it is. Wine64 works. Wine is poorly supported, however. There's an unfortunate amount of 'not implented' errors. All the tricks supplied by winetricks supply x86 or x86_64 code. Windows Zoom for Arm64 will not work. Maybe if you had another Zoom version, that might work, but there isn't another version at the moment

Personal preferences, where I get to choose, would be JitsiMeet, followed closely by Google's "Meet" (the successor to Hangouts). Both of which work fine in the browser, though MY preference has always been Chromium-based, where they run flawlessly. NOT a fan of Firefox. Where I have to go 'commercial', I prefer Skype. It, too, is crap software.....but at least it works.

Those that build their entire contact network around Zoom are the real issue, IMO.

That wasn't my choice. The choice was made at the start of Covid, and it was Zoom or Apple Face Time.

In fairness, you will probably agree

Zoom was developed under extreme pressure.
The windows version is pretty good; the linux one is even as reliable as skype now.

They are even adding bells & whistles. Virtual backgrounds, Zoom Rooms (allowing doctors, etc to avoid the inconvenience of patient overlap)
