 Posted: Fri Nov 17, 2023 1:35 pm Post subject: removing pipewire from my system (solved) |
 |
|
While trying to find out why Jamin doesn't want to start anymore I found that for some reason unknown to me Pipewire is running on my system. Now I do not really want this. I use Alsa and Jack and that suits all my needs fine. I have no idea how pipewire came onto the system in the first place.
Is there a way to find out which packages installed it and start it at startup?

You can run
| Code: |
emerge -cav pipewire
|
and see what pulled it.

Looks like Plasma did a number on that. Silly that it starts that because just killing the processes has no effect on sound. going to see if I can change the use to -pipewire.

Yes, use-flag "pipewire" is now default in a plasma-profile (desktop-profile also ?)
Maybe it is sufficient to set this in package.use:
| Code: | | media-video/pipewire -sound-server |

You probably wanted to say that 'pipewire USE sound-server' is now default in plasma desktop profile, that is correct. You do not want to operate 'USE screencast' because that is about screencast using video part of pipewire. |

Put in the flags, emerged the whole lot with -uvUD but still pipewire and wireplumber running. I think I'll need to learn how to write a startup script that just kills them each time. The dependencies have shrunk however:
| Code: | daw ~ # emerge -cav pipewire

That xdg-desktop-portal seemt to come from flatpak. Going to start kicking that out. I remember I wanted to try something that was only available as a flatpak but I never got it working.

Without 'USE sound-server' pipewire and wireplumber are only handling video. Check used devices with 'wpctl status', you should be fine already. |

That gives:
| Code: | daw ~ # wpctl status
Could not connect to PipeWire
daw ~ #
|
So that seems to be ok. Next step finishing that @world update. There is a new kernel I see.
Thanks guys!
