Today's pipewire updates seem to have broken audio in Telegram desktop [Solved]

[dolphin_oracle]

there appears to be something wrong with wireplumber starting up on KDE. not sure what's going on. running

Code: Select all

pkill wireplumber && wireplumber &

restores audio.

will work on it. interestingly, this part of the startup wasn't changed.

Ok found it.

I did something dumb witht he pipewire-start script. didn't show as a problem on Xfce, but kde barfs.

I'll push an update, but for now users can edit the shebang (line 1 ) of /usr/bin/pipewire-start to read

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

the # and the ! are reversed.

sorry for the hassle, totally my fault.

Ok, great. Glad you found it.

Actually, I'm surprised to learn I'm on SysVInit. I thought I was on SystemD. If I switch to SystemD would that affect anything I plan to do here?

Ok, I'm trying to install pipewire-setup-mx, and am getting this error:

Code: Select all

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 wireplumber : Depends: libwireplumber-0.4-0 (= 0.4.13-1) but 0.4.16-1~mx23+1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I was subsequently able to install Brave, so that broken packages thing seems to only affect the pipewire installation attempt.

You QSI indicates sysVinit (this is why we love QSI, it has a lot of info, but nothing personal).

systemd shouldn't hurt anything. in fact, systemd users might not enounter the problem.

Not updated yet, but I noticed the update wants to pull in a new pipewire dependency even though I removed pipewire from my system, too (libpipewire-0.3-0 happened to be unremovable back then). Apparently this comes from the update to pipewire 1.0. I suspect the dependency got added to either libpipewire-0.3-0 or libspa-0.2-modules.

Code: Select all

Die folgenden NEUEN Pakete werden installiert:
     libpipewire-0.3-common (1.0.0-1~mx23+1)
  Die folgenden Pakete werden aktualisiert (Upgrade):
...
     libpipewire-0.3-0 (0.3.65-3 => 1.0.0-1~mx23+1)
     libspa-0.2-modules (0.3.65-3 => 1.0.0-1~mx23+1)
...

From my understanding this SHOULD not break anything since they are only libs, but you never know
After the last update disaster with the faulty kernel I will postpone this update to the christmas weekend when I will have time to troubleshoot, just in case...

some of the old -modules packages are now transition packages to the new libspa- packages. so the depends might not really be new, just new package names, if you catch my meaning.

flatpak relies on some libpipwire stuff, so its natural to have that installed even if not using pipewire itself.

I installed libwireplumber 0.4.13-1 thinking that would take care of the dependency, but I'm still getting the exact same error trying to install pipewire.

[dolphin_oracle]

looks like for some reason its pulling wireplumber from the debian repo instead of the MX repo.
looks like wireplumber didn't get moved over. will do that.

[dolphin_oracle]

revised pipewire-setup-mx package with fixed pipewire-start script is here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JqGyUR ... drive_link

will hit repos later.

@dolphin_oracle

Thanks so much for the all the work on the update and the quick fix, sorry it was a bit of a bumpy transition... (I was the guy who requested the update... )
