  • [gentoo-user] wireplumper for pipewire 0.3.39 startup problems

    From Tamer Higazi@21:1/5 to All on Sat Nov 6 23:10:02 2021
    Hi people,

    I got a problem getting "wireplumper" for pipewire to run.

    tamer@tux ~ $ systemctl --user status wireplumber.service

    tells me that it failed to start

    Executing "wireplumper" gives out an error that it failed to start "wireplumper":

    pipewire


    by the way, according the pipewire gentoo guide, the ~/.xinitrc file
    should look like this:

    if which dbus-launch >/dev/null && test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"; then
           eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
    fi

    /usr/bin/gentoo-pipewire-launcher

    ...but "/usr/bin/gentoo-pipewire-launcher" simply does not exist ...


    pipewire is on 0.3.39:

    tamer@tux ~ $ LANG=C pactl info | grep "Server Name"
    Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 0.3.39)


    emerge --info:
    https://pastebin.com/raw/Ya6LmipC

    (emerge -uDN @world) had been executed today ....


    Any ideas ?


    For any help, thanks in advance.


    best, Tamer

    Your post has a mix of "wireplumper" and "wireplumber". Hopefully
    there is just a repeated typo, and in fact, all should be the same?

    Dear Jack,

    Yes, you are right. It is in fact the same.

    It is the package wireplumber:

    media-video/wireplumber-0.4.4:0/0.4::gentoo  USE="systemd (-elogind)
    -test" LUA_SINGLE_TARGET="lua5-4 -lua5-3" 0 KiB

    that is causing me headache.

    Any ideas ?

    best, Tamer
