[SOLVED] Help! I cannot get Pipewire working.

DavidRLTG · 2024-01-22 16:01:12

I installed it in a pretty simple way,

sudo apt install pipewire wireplumber pipewire-alsa pipewire-pulse pipewire-jack -y

After that, I added an executable file in /usr/local/bin
And now, my PC boots up without sound.
If I try to manually start up pipewire with pipewire & wireplumber & pipewire-pulse &
I get this mess:

[E][00154.666492] mod.protocol-native | [module-protocol-:  731 lock_socket()] server 0x557364dc1780: unable to lock lockfile '/run/user/1000/pipewire-0.lock': Resource temporarily unavailable (maybe another daemon is running)

Help? Thank you!

I tried again later, Instead I got this hell:

So apparently, Pulseaudio was not removed, so I removed it. Audio is still not working, but these are my errors:

Genius!

I totally didn't follow the exact same guide
Anything else?

DavidRLTG · 2024-01-22 16:32:02

I also tried the script from the bottom of the page,
It fixed the issue for just ONE session
I ran it from Downloads.
Tried moving it to Startup
It doesn't work anymore, tried moving to downloads and running again, I get the previous errors.
This is so weird!

And now, I tried restarting, and running it from downloads! It fixed it again, but gave this error!

I have no idea what to do anymore

stopAI · 2024-01-22 16:44:11

After that, I added an executable file

And for what purpose did you do it? Apt configures packages automatically....

I have no idea what to do anymore

The fact that you manually moved those files to places they don't belong is very bad. I don't know what to advise. You can try to manually remove those files and install the package group with command

sudo apt install pipewire-audio

But to be honest, I don't know if it will help...it's worth a try.

DavidRLTG · 2024-01-22 16:44:29

Now I need to somehow get the script to successfully run at startup, and fix the weird libcamera error

DavidRLTG · 2024-01-22 16:46:22

Also, StopAI, I didn't add them before but after installing it didn't work. So I tried adding custom files. Didn't help. I removed them all now and tried the command, no shot. Still a mess.

DavidRLTG · 2024-01-22 16:56:05

God, This is a mess.
No idea how I'll get audio working again

DavidRLTG · 2024-01-22 17:21:44

Agh, I ended up switching back to Pulseaudio after all, as this has been a painful experience.
Thank you all for trying to help, and have a great day

Following that guide exactly did work for me. Pipewire works flawlessly on my travelling laptop.

JWM-Kit · 2024-01-22 18:12:24

When I configured for pipewire all I did was install pipewire-media-session
That's the magic that worked for me. it conflicts with wireplumber so it will be uninstalled.

Then I added /usr/bin/pipewire and /usr/bin/pipewire-media-session to my startup

It works fine for me. Maybe it will work for you.

This was covered upthread. The user said he already tried it.

I have been using in .xsessionrc

/usr/bin/daemon --bind --respawn --pidfiles=$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR --name=pipewire /usr/bin/pipewire
/usr/bin/daemon --bind --respawn --pidfiles=$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR --name=pipewire-pulse /usr/bin/pipewire-pulse
/usr/bin/daemon --bind --respawn --pidfiles=$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR --name=pipewire-wireplumber /usr/bin/wireplumber

but sometimes I have to log out and log in again for the sound card to be recognised. The sound card is fine and I don't have to do anything more than logging out and in again, but it would be great if it worked every time.

daemon is on the repos and i will say is a good solution all things considered.

regardless i'm still working on this: https://github.com/eylles/shed with the goal of perhaps having a release this month.

KDE/Plasma seems to keep reading a lot of stuff from disk on inital login, which may be holding up something that pipewire start-up needs.

Once it is all cached in RAM, a logout/login cycle avoids the reading from disk.
