Re: How to: Devuan 5 Daedalus an pipewire

Allow me to add some fuel to the fire, or maybe start something we can build on in common:  https://github.com/davesp/start_user_pipewire

Re: How to: Devuan 5 Daedalus an pipewire

Why use Microsoft's server for FOSS ?
Why not git.devuan.org ?
Or codeberg.org ?

I've been boycotting github for years . . . MS can kiss my skinny behind.

Re: How to: Devuan 5 Daedalus an pipewire

OT:  I didn't so much "choose" GitHub as "defaulted" to it.

• It's familiar, and I already had it set up.

• I didn't notice any Microsoft branding (nor was I looking for any).

• GitHub didn't force me to insert any Microsoft-specific code, or force me to use Windows or Edge.

• If they're paying for GitHub to exist and are hosting OSS without forcing authors to "bend to their will", isn't that good for OSS?

That's why using GitHib wasn't a big deal for me.  But, since this is arguably a Devuan-specific issue, the repo has been moved from GitHub to "https://git.devuan.org/davesp/start_user_pipewire".

Re: How to: Devuan 5 Daedalus an pipewire

Just a quick question, it seems as though pipewire is running via the user, is this check correct?
user1 being my login name.

~ $ ps -aux | grep 'pipewire\|wireplumber'
user1     2081  0.0  0.0 104188 12720 tty1     Sl   09:45   0:00 /usr/bin/pipewire
user1     2084  0.5  0.0 481776 19648 tty1     SLl  09:45   0:03 /usr/bin/wireplumber
user1     2087  0.4  0.0 105960 14652 tty1     SLl  09:45   0:03 /usr/bin/pipewire-pulse
