Hi all,

Wanted to record how I got Pipewire sound working in Hyprland on Devuan 6 Excalibur.

Within /home/$USER/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf:

...
#################
### AUTOSTART ###
#################

# Autostart necessary processes (like notifications daemons, status bars, etc.)
# Or execute your favorite apps at launch like this:

# pipewire on devuan openrc (after installing pipewire-audio)
exec-once = wireplumber &
exec-once = pipewire &
exec-once = pipewire-pulse &
...

Obviously, this is based on OP's initial post/script. Thanks OP.

NOTE: For whatever reason, screensharing isn't working. I've been trying to look at the pipewire article on the Gentoo wiki (I'm using OpenRC), and the screensharing article on the Hyprland wiki to see what I can experiment with. Previously on OpenMandriva Lx (systemd distro) where Pipewire was working OOTB. Now that I have Pipewire launching, I'm curious what exactly is missing here where I can't screenshare.

I think it might have to do with this "xdg-desktop-portals" thing.

Curious when Xlibre is working on my system again if that will still be the case.
