Zoom empty window in Vanilla Dpup

Post by Maybe »

Hello!

I'm using Vanilla Dpup 9.2.9 puppy on Lenovo x201 laptop.
I want to use Vanilladpup's Zoom client because it has several advantages over the web browser's zoom add-on. After installing the .deb package using the gdebi graphical installer, I launch Zoom and the program window opens, but this window is empty! Please help fix this inconvenience.

Here are the steps I took:

1. Downloaded the .deb package from the official Zoom website
2. Installed it using the gdebi graphical installer
3. Enter the

Code: Select all

zoom --no-sandbox

command in the terminal (if you simply enter the

Code: Select all

zoom

command in the terminal, nothing happens).
4. So, the program loaded, but, unfortunately, an empty window. There is a curious component: the Zoom icon appears in the tray, with the right mouse button I can call up a pop-up menu and, for example, change the interface language. However, the main Zoom window remains blank.

I beg you, please tell me possible solutions to this problem

Found a solution!

1. Opened the file /root/.config/zoomus.conf
2. Changed the line enableAlphaBuffer=false
3. Launched Zoom in the terminal with the command

Code: Select all

zoom --no-sandbox
