Hi Head_on_a_Stick,

The setup is explained here: https://man.sr.ht/~kennylevinsen/seatd/#xdg_runtime_dir-not-set.

That is one of Kenny Levinsen's webpages.

There are some backticks that looked to me like apostrophes. They surround the "id u" phrases. It didn't work until I changed the aprostrophes to backticks. (I ended up copying and pasting <g>.)

The only thing I have noted that is a possible negative is that my browser froze after long period of playing music, although neither cpu or mem usage was particularly high. It is an old machine; might be coincidence, dying hardware or something that needs tweaking. Interested if anyone else reports that this enabled Pipewire for them and if they noted any "side effects".

Thanks again for your help.

Belated reply -

Thanks Head_on_a_Stick,

I finally discussed this with Kenny Levisen (seatd/libseat developer) who saw I probably needed an XDG_RUNTIME_DIR script. After setting that up, pipewire works after removing libelogind0 and rebooting.

So, I will mark this solved.

Hi Head-on-a-Stick,

thanks again.

I am a permanent noobie. I have seatd and consolekit installed, but quite possibly not properly configured or possibly my problem is that I am not in the proper group.

Running htop, seatd is running but searching for consolekit shows nothing.

Happy for a reference to a tutorial for enabling pipewire via seatd. On a search a little while ago today, I didn't see anything in a step-by-step for noobies <g>.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Head_on_a_Stick,

Thanks for response.

I am running antiX Sid and trying to get Pipewire working without systemd elements. Using libelogind0 (a component of systemd), Pipewire works fine for my usages. However, when I tried to use consolekit as a replacement, it doesn't work. I saw several polkit packages maintained by Devuan developers, that seemed to be related to consolekit. As I mentioned two have not yet reached the level of the others and this has caused a failure in the installation of some libpolkit packages.

Lacking any other idea for getting Pipewire working with consolekit, I posted here asking about timing of the update of these two packages.

Hi all,

Devuan has provided some upgraded consolekit related packages (v.122), but these two packages are still at the 0.105 version in the repositories I have checked.

I would appreciate a referral to a repository where the newer versions are available, if these packages have been updated yet.

Thanks in advance.
