[SOLVED] DU breaks pipewire (incomplete 0.3.39-1 atm)

dpanter · 2021/10/22, 17:00:05

DU currently removes pipewire-media-session as it's not ~~yet~~ updated to 0.3.39-1, meaning you no longer have any visible sound devices. Fun side effect, konsole hangs when trying to send a bell.

Downgrade all the pipewire packages to 0.3.38-2 to fix it for now.

Code Auswählen

sudo apt install {pipewire-media-session,libpipewire-0.3-0,libpipewire-0.3-common,libpipewire-0.3-modules,pipewire-audio-client-libraries,pipewire-bin,pipewire-pulse,pipewire-tests,pipewire,libspa-0.2-modules,libpipewire-0.3-0:i386,libpipewire-0.3-modules:i386,libspa-0.2-modules:i386,pipewire:i386}=0.3.38-2

Thanks for trying to fix it. For me, it just says that version 0.3.38-2 of all the packages can't be found.

dpanter · 2021/10/22, 21:54:03

Ah sorry, 0.3.38-2 is available in Testing.

After reading the changelog, it seems pipewire-media-session is out and wireplumber is the new hotness. Ran a new DU, installed wireplumber, rebooted, configured sound device settings and sound is now working again. Using external DAC via optical cable and it's running 192 KHz just fine.

Snipped the relevant changelog entries:

Code Auswählen


pipewire (0.3.39-1) unstable; urgency=medium
  * Don't build the pipewire-media-session binary package anymore,
      media-session has moved to a separate module to accelerate its
      deprecation in favour of WirePlumber.
  * Change priority order between pipewire-media-session and wireplumber,
      WirePlumber is now the recommended session manager.

Code Auswählen


$ pactl info | grep "Server Name"
Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 0.3.39)

Nice. Thanks.

Thanks, @dpanter, for sharing.

For German localized installs:

Auf deutsch:

Code Auswählen

$ pactl info | grep "Name des Servers"
Name des Servers: pulseaudio

Code Auswählen

pactl info | grep '^Name des Servers'
Name des Servers: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 0.3.39)

Code Auswählen

LANG=C  pactl info | grep '^Server Name'
Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 0.3.39)

As the changelog explained, pipewire-media-session is replaced by wireplumber!
That is not a bug, and do not break pipewire on a full-upgraded sid/unstable.
To install wireplumber you have to purge pipewire-media-session and install wireplumber.

What I did/ had to do to install wireplumber (I had to remove /etc/systemd/user/pipewire-session-manager.service before it worked),

Code Auswählen


apt purge  pipewire-media-session
rm /etc/systemd/user/pipewire-session-manager.service
apt install wireplumber

Code Auswählen

LANG=C apt policy pipewire-media-session

There will be a package pipewire-media-session again, it is waiting in NEW. What happened is, pipewire-media-session was made a standalone package and will eventually be succeeded by wireplumber, which is the new session-manager for pipewire.

finotti · 2021/10/27, 21:24:50

@devil: Sorry for the ignorance, but what does NEW stand for?

hendrikL · 2021/10/28, 10:43:32

I think, devil can explain it much better than me.

But for the start

https://ftp-master.debian.org/#new

Mostly you can find it out with "rmadison" (part of 'devscripts') like:

Code Auswählen


:~$ rmadison pipewire-media-session
pipewire-media-session | 0.3.38-2      | testing    | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, mips64el, mipsel, ppc64el, s390x
pipewire-media-session | 0.4.0-1       | new        | source, amd64

Packages in NEW (entirely new or with significant changes) are on the way, but have to be checked and accepted by the ftp-masters of debian.

If the maintainer has no luck, it could be in the NEW-query for a long, long time!

finotti · 2021/10/28, 13:22:56

Thanks hendrikL! It's hard to search for a term like "new". (And I thought it was an acronym.)

Part of the reason I asked was because devil had also mentioned that ksysguard was in NEW, but I cannot find it in the list (and it is still not installable).

devil · 2021/10/28, 14:13:54

@finotti: The new Systemmonitor (successor of ksysguard) runs fine unter 5.23 in sid. The following packages are installed:

Zitatft@blue:~$ dpkg -l | grep ksys
rc ksysguard-data 4:5.21.5-2 all library for monitoring your system - shared library
ii ksysguardd 4:5.21.5-2 amd64 System Guard Daemon
ii ksystemlog 4:21.08.0-1 amd64 system log viewer
ii ksystemstats 5.23.0-2 amd64 plugin based system monitoring daemon
ii libksysguardformatter1 4:5.23.0-5 amd64 library for system monitoring - ksysguardformatter shared library
ii libksysguardsensorfaces1 4:5.23.0-5 amd64 library for system monitoring - ksysguardsensorfaces shared library

ii qml-module-org-kde-ksysguard 4:5.23.0-5 amd64 KSysGuard QtDeclarative QML Support

finotti · 2021/10/28, 14:42:12

Ah! I thought a new version of ksysguard was suppose to come in. Thanks @devil! All is working as expected.

whistler_mb · 2021/10/28, 16:00:33

Could it be that you mean this version?

Code Auswählen

$ apt policy plasma-systemmonitor
plasma-systemmonitor:
  Installed: 5.23.2-1~np1
  Candidate: 5.23.2-1~np1
  Version table:
 *** 5.23.2-1~np1 500

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

        500 http://deb.debian.org/debian unstable/main amd64 Packages

dpanter · 2021/10/28, 16:41:32

ksysguard and the new plasma-systemmonitor are different.
It can be noted that ksysguard provides data for some widgets like Thermal Monitor, Resources Monitor, Netspeed Widget etc. Removing ksysguard means these no longer function. Guessing this may be fixed later.

What happened to my topic?
