Webex at Arch Linux

How to join the Webex meeting  for the Arch Linux 64-bit users

 

I did it! Installation of 32-bit browser is not required!

1. Uncomment multilib section in /etc/pacman.conf:

[multilib]

Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

2. Install icedtea-web-jre32 and webex-meta from the AUR (I'm using apacman for AUR):

apacman -S icedtea-web-jre32 webex-meta

3. Install some additional packages to have sound works:

pacman -S lib32-libcanberra-pulse lib32-alsa-plugins

 4. Check sound.properties:

javax.sound.sampled.Clip=org.classpath.icedtea.pulseaudio.PulseAudioMixerProvider

javax.sound.sampled.Port=org.classpath.icedtea.pulseaudio.PulseAudioMixerProvider

javax.sound.sampled.SourceDataLine=org.classpath.icedtea.pulseaudio.PulseAudioMixerProvider

javax.sound.sampled.TargetDataLine=org.classpath.icedtea.pulseaudio.PulseAudioMixerProvider

#javax.sound.sampled.Clip=com.sun.media.sound.DirectAudioDeviceProvider

#javax.sound.sampled.Port=com.sun.media.sound.PortMixerProvider

#javax.sound.sampled.SourceDataLine=com.sun.media.sound.DirectAudioDeviceProvider

#javax.sound.sampled.TargetDataLine=com.sun.media.sound.DirectAudioDeviceProvider

 5. That's all! You can connect to webex meeting! I checked this with Firefox-57 and with google-chrome. Google-chrome does not open application directly - it downloads file which should be runned with Javaws (which have been installed with the icedtea-web-jre32 package).
