 Posted: Tue Jun 04, 2024 4:22 pm Post subject: pipewire pulseaudio conflict |
 |
|
I have a fresh gentoo installation with plasma profile selected.
Before doing world update I had explicitly stated in make.conf "-pipewire"
I really don't want new things to be forced onto me like Windows
So plasma pulls in | Code: | | media-sound/pulseaudio |
package which shows
no files installed with | Code: | | equery d media-sound/pulseaudip |
and it also installs
| Code: | | media-sound/pipewire |
with USE flag.
Either plasma itself did that or did that. I doubt
steam pulled that out because most of the steam related USE flag changes are for 32-bit binaries of
specific packages. I can't say for sure.
Currently I can't set
on | Code: | | media-video/pipewire |
because :
| Code: |
[ebuild R ] media-video/pipewire-1.0.5 USE="-sound-server*"
!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:
media-video/pipewire:0
(media-video/pipewire-1.0.5:0/0.4::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) USE="X bluetooth dbus readline ssl -doc -echo-cancel -extra -ffmpeg -flatpak -gsettings -gstreamer -ieee1394 -jack-client -jack-sdk -liblc3 -lv2 -man -modemmanager -pipewire-alsa -roc (-selinux) -sound-server (-system-service) -systemd -test -v4l -zeroconf" ABI_X86="(64) -32 (-x32)" pulled in by
media-video/pipewire (Argument)
(media-video/pipewire-1.0.5:0/0.4::gentoo, installed) USE="X bluetooth dbus readline sound-server ssl -doc -echo-cancel -extra -ffmpeg -flatpak -gsettings -gstreamer -ieee1394 -jack-client -jack-sdk -liblc3 -lv2 -man -modemmanager -pipewire-alsa -roc (-selinux) (-system-service) -systemd -test -v4l -zeroconf" ABI_X86="(64) -32 (-x32)" pulled in by
media-video/pipewire[sound-server(+)] required by (media-libs/libpulse-17.0:0/0::gentoo, installed) USE="X asyncns dbus glib gtk -doc (-selinux) -systemd -test -valgrind" ABI_X86="32 (64) (-x32)"
|
Now what is even libpulse???
And then I cannot depclean media-video/pipewire and someone suggested in other posts because :
| Code: |
Calculating dependencies... done!
media-video/pipewire-1.0.5 pulled in by:
media-libs/libpulse-17.0 requires media-video/pipewire[sound-server(+)]
media-video/wireplumber-0.4.17-r1 requires >=media-video/pipewire-0.3.68:=, >=media-video/pipewire-0.3.68:0/0.4=
sys-apps/xdg-desktop-portal-1.18.4 requires >=media-video/pipewire-0.3:=, >=media-video/pipewire-0.3:0/0.4=

I want pulseaudio with daemon and no pipewire. How do I fix this? [/b] |

EDIT: Removed incorrect suggestion.
xgivolari understood the situation better than I did and gives the correct solution.
If it is any consolation to you, I switched (reluctantly) to pipewire when that news item came out. I have not had any major issues. The transition to pipewire has been in the works for some time. I finally learned to embrace it.

pulseaudio was split into multiple packages a while ago to make the transition to pipewire easier. the pipewire dependency of libpulse is as follows:
| Code: | PDEPEND="
|| (
media-video/pipewire[sound-server(+)]
media-sound/pulseaudio-daemon
)
"
|
This means that libpulse either depends on pipewire with sound-server enabled, or on pulseaudio-daemon, which is the pulseaudio subpackage that provides, well, the daemon. To replace pipewire with pulseaudio daemon, disable the sound-server USE-flag on pipewire and run "emerge --oneshot pipewire pulseaudio-daemon". This will rebuild pipewire without sound server support and pull in pulseaudio-daemon to satisfy libpulse's dependency.
Of course it is none of my business how you run your system, but I would strongly recommend to at least give pipewire a try. Standalone pulseaudio is more or less dead. Pretty much all other distros have replaced pulseaudio-daemon with pipewire as well. Unless you have any specific issue with it, pipewire is considered superior to pulseaudio in every way. |

If that is correct, then you should be able to proceed with the setup of pulseaudio as instructed in the news item you referred to. |
I think this is not the correct approach. If OP wants USE=-sound-server on pipewire, that should be done in package.use, not in profile/package.use.mask. I have no opinion on whether OP should disable USE=sound-server on pipewire. Per the post above mine, returning to pulseaudio may be a path to more work, not less. |

That would forcibly enable the flag. Profile-defined defaults can be overwritten via make.conf or package.use, unless defined in a *.force or *.mask file. |

I am using also a kde/plasma profile. This profile sets the use-flag "pipewire" as default. The correct file (or directory) is - like @Hu already explained - /etc/portage/package.use and the the use-flag "sound-server" must be disabled with a minus-sign: media-video/pipewire -sound-server as explained in our news from: "2022-07-29 PipeWire sound server migration"
Dont try to disable "pipewire" completely because KDE needs it anyway.
(In my case: I have a pure ALSA configuration: no pipewire and no pulse-audio and therefore I have in my make.conf: USE="-pulseaudio..." (but no -pipewire) and in my package.use above setting for deselecting the sound-server of pipewire)

You are correct. I will correct my original post. |

I now have pulseaudio as server and no pipewire sound server but media-video/pipewire is installed.
Here's what I learned; correct me if I am wrong. pulseaudio has
| Code: | | media-sound/pulseaudio |
It installs nothing
| Code: | | media-libs/libpulse |
Installs client pulseaudio libraries
| Code: | | media-sound/pulseaudio-daemon |
This seems like pulse audio server. Then what is the use of
"daemon" USE flag in | Code: | | media-sound/pulseaudio |
?
wine definitely media-sound/pipewire but not necessarily with sound-server.
For pulseaudio server and no pipewire sound server one has to install pulseaudio-daemon, pulseaudio and libpulse. |

| media-sound/pulseaudio is a transition package. media-sound/pulseaudio[daemon] depends on media-sound/pulseaudio-daemon, so that users will seamlessly migrate to the new package and not silently lose their sound daemon. |
