I got invited to a Google Meet meeting. The cameras and mic works perfectly in both Firefox and Web, but when i clicked “Join Meeting” I got a vauge error saying “You cant join this meeting”, with no further information.
I got to borrow anothers computer. This wa also running Linux, and Firefox, and I was able to join the same meeting using that computer.
Run firefox --version on both devices / machines… What are the versions on the L11 vs the other?
You can try to make Firefox mimic other browsers e.g. Chrome by switching the UserAgent HTTP header. There is an add-on, User-Agent-Switcher or so.
You can try another variant of Firefox e.g. LibreWolf or maybe some non-ESR version or a weekly build or so.ä
If the issue is not in FF maybe it has something to do with phoc, phosh or wayland. Just thinking.
Meet is moot?
On my Librem 11 machine the answer was: Mozilla Firefox 115.12.0esr
On the other persons machine the answer was: Mozilla Firefox 113.0.2
Note, that the issue was never spesific to Firefox on my Librem 11. The same problem happened in GNOME Web.
What about a different desktop environment? Is this something affecting just Phosh for instance?
Yeah, I suspect Phosh is the problem. Maybe Phosh is the reason for the video playback problem ( OpenGL does not work right on my Librem 11 ) as well?
Can you teach me how to switch desktop environment, or turn Phosh off, so I can test it out?
sudo systemctl stop phosh
sudo apt install gnome (give that a shot, then stop phosh)
Package name needs to be corrected.
Couldn’t remember off-hand
