Arch Linux User Repository

Please don't flag package out-of-date if it stops working due to some dependency's upgrade, e.g., ImportError: libglslang.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. It's AUR and not an Archlinux repository: you just need to rebuild the package.

Since python has recently been upgraded to 3.13, you need to rebuild the package if you installed it last before the upgrade, e.g., with yay (thanks @marco.righi) you can:

yay -S zapzap --rebuildtree --noconfirm --rebuild --sudoloop

This PKGBUILD uses a pacman feature to compute checksums in CVS packages, which requires pacman>=6.1.0. If you're coming from Manjaro or an other Arch-based distro with pacman<6.1.0, you need to pass --skipchecksums to makepkg, if building manually, or, if installing with yay, add --mflags --skipchecksums, e.g.:

yay -S --mflags --skipchecksums zapzap

@alllexx88 Thank you very much, that fixes it!

@marco.righi I also have a hybrid Intel+Nvidia graphics, and don't experience the same issue. However, I did add ZapZapNoGpu launcher, for cases like yours. Thanks.

@Technetium1 Done. Please verify.

Please use double quotes for source. It causes shfmt's parser to fail.

Hi,

I am seeing a reproducible issue with the AUR package zapzap on EndeavourOS / Arch Linux on a hybrid Intel + NVIDIA laptop.

Normal startup may fail with a segmentation fault or WhatsApp Web may initially show:

You are not connected to the Internet.

The network is working correctly:

Quadro T2000 with Max-Q Design, 595.71.05

Observed messages include:

XDG_SESSION_TYPE: x11
GBM is not supported with the current configuration. Fallback to Vulkan rendering in Chromium.
qt.qpa.services: Failed to register with host portal QDBusError("org.freedesktop.portal.Error.Failed", "Could not register app ID: Connection already associated with an application ID")
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

With GPU/Vulkan disabled, the segmentation fault disappears, although ZapZap may still print some initial offline messages before connecting:

GPUInfo not initialized on GpuInfoUpdate
Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file: No such file: (null)
You are not connected to the Internet.

Working workaround:

env -u http_proxy -u https_proxy -u HTTP_PROXY -u HTTPS_PROXY -u all_proxy -u ALL_PROXY -u FONTCONFIG_FILE -u FONTCONFIG_PATH QTWEBENGINE_CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--disable-gpu --disable-gpu-compositing --disable-vulkan --disable-features=Vulkan,VulkanFromANGLE --no-proxy-server" zapzap

Hypothesis: this looks like an interaction between ZapZap, PyQt6-WebEngine / QtWebEngine, embedded Chromium, NVIDIA/Vulkan/GBM initialization, and hybrid Intel + NVIDIA graphics.

Could this workaround be documented, or could an optional zapzap-nogpu launcher be provided for affected systems?

Thanks.

The app sends notifications whenever it wants. I had to switch to WhatsApp Web

Not working:

Compile: po/pl.po -> locale/pl/LC_MESSAGES/zapzap.mo msgfmt -o locale/pl/LC_MESSAGES/zapzap.mo po/pl.po po/pl.po:751: duplicate message definition... po/pl.po:471: ...this is the location of the first definition /usr/bin/msgfmt: found 1 fatal error error: command '/usr/bin/msgfmt' failed with exit code 1

Seems broken on Wayland. Getting stack trace with Qt errors eg. libQt6WaylandClient.

I'm getting the following error:

Error injecting WebRTC shield: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/lib/python3.14/site-packages/zapzap/webengine/webrtc_shield.js'

and there's an issue on the repository that may be related to needing to rebuild

https://github.com/rafatosta/zapzap/issues/651

I've already run

yay -S zapzap --rebuildtree --noconfirm --rebuild --sudoloop

but it didn't solve the problem.

After the newest update the package does not work for me anymore. When installing through yay, I get the following errors: "GBM is not supported with the current configuration. Fallback to Vulkan rendering in Chromium. QDBusTrayIcon encountered a D-Bus error: QDBusError("org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown", "The name is not activatable")". The AUR package wasn't rebuilt for Python 3.14.

I have the same "killed by SIGSEGV" issue on my laptop with hybrid graphic and wayland. I discover that running zapzap with prime-run it works fine, I don't have time to investigate, hope it helps (otherwise ignore me :) )
