Trying to get KDE6 working. The first thing to fix is obviously what spews enless lines of text to the log. Here is the last half minute:

The error message does not say how it tried to connect PipeWire. The following command did not work:
| Code: | | systemctl start PipeWire |
emerge -s pipewire shows that acct-group/pipewire-0-r2, kde-plasma/kpipewire-6.1.4-r1 and media-video/pipewire-1.2.3 are installed. But it also shows that acct-user/pipewire is not installed. Should it be installed, and if so, why was it not installed as a dependency?
Searching for pipewire in systemsettings does not find anything (such as an option to disable it). |

Should the use flag system-service be enabled? If so, why was it not enabled as a dependency of plasmashell? |

While emerging pipewire separately, I noticed this message:
| Code: | >>> Completed (1 of 1) media-video/pipewire-1.2.3::gentoo
* Messages for package media-video/pipewire-1.2.3:
* Please restart KWin/Mutter after upgrading PipeWire.
* Screencasting may not work until you do.
*
* When switching from PulseAudio, you may need to disable PulseAudio:
*
* systemctl --user disable pulseaudio.service pulseaudio.socket
*
* To use PipeWire, the user units must be manually enabled
* by running this command as each user you use for desktop activities:
*
* systemctl --user enable pipewire.socket pipewire-pulse.socket
*
* A reboot is recommended to avoid interferences from still running
* PulseAudio daemon.
*
* Both new users and those upgrading need to enable WirePlumber
* for relevant users:
*
* systemctl --user disable pipewire-media-session.service
* systemctl --user --force enable wireplumber.service
*
* Root user may replace --user with --global to change system default
* configuration for all of the above commands.
*
* For latest tips and tricks, troubleshooting information, and documentation
* in general, please refer to https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/PipeWire
*
* The following can be installed for optional runtime features:
* sys-auth/rtkit for restricted realtime capabilities via D-Bus
* media-plugins/alsa-plugins[pulseaudio] for ALSA plugin to use PulseAudio interface for output
* GNU info directory index is up-to-date.
|
I also read at https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/PipeWire about CONFIG_VERBOSE_PROCFS. But in my kernels, it is called SND_VERBOSE_PROCFS. I enable it, reinstall the kernel, run the systemctl commands suggested above and reboot now. |

| No more log spam after reboot (tried both 6.1.110-gentoo and 6.6.47-gentoo)! |
