Bug#1043034: pipewire-pulse: Missing dependencie(s) or incomplete
Jiff
Version: 0.3.65-3
Severity: normal
Hi Dear Tainer Main,
* What led up to the situation?
Getting rid of all pulseaudio packages (I'm as allergic to PA
as I am to shytstemd) because pipewire and easyeffects are working
awfully well.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Ze error :
==========
Uninstall *pulse* except those required by other packages.
This is an extract from syslog :

Ze cure :
=========
apt install pavucontrol paprefs
I'm not sure if the both of them is mandatory, as I found a forum
where a guy had quite the same problem that was answered by a link
to a muted video doing this - anyway, it worked.
* What was the outcome of this action?
After a reboot, pipewire-pulse was up and working like a charm.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
pipewire to be completely independant of pulseaudio (if possible) or at
least having one or two dependencies to the one/two aforementioned PA
packages.
Thanks for maintening PW.
Cheers,
Jean-Yves

pavucontrol and paprefs are not dependencies of pipewire.

Not sure what happened, maybe a package that should have stayed

I don't see any reference about a missing org.freedesktop.xxx.xml file in
the log you provided. I suppose you've confused it with the missing
"org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop" which is a D-Bus interface used by
pipewire for screen-sharing, so not related to your sound issue. This
file is provided by the package xdg-desktop-portal (neither pavucontrol
nor paprefs).
However, I can see in your log you are facing these bugs #995357 [1]
and #1037447 [2]. Both of them are not blocking to get sound and
are already fixed in newer versions that should land in
*-backports repo soon I hope (waiting for a review in the backports queue)

To get rid of pulseaudio and to install pipewire, you can install the
metapackage pipewire-audio which depends on all required pipewire
packages and conflicts with pulseaudio and its bluetooth plugins
package. But really, pipewire does not depend or requires pavucontrol
or paprefs.

xdg-desktop-portal-gtk due to the log you're talking about below.

xdg-desktop-portal-tests & xdg-desktop-portal-wlr
however, these we'rent installed (but synaptic did not show any broken
pacakage(s)).
As said above, I manually (re)installed xdg-desktop-portal &
xdg-desktop-portal-gtk and up to now, pipewire was ferpectly working.
What I do not understand is, even without installing pipewire-audio
(that I did 10' ago), there is something missing in the pipewire
dependencies, may be something like :
xdg-desktop-portal, xdg-desktop-portal-gtk | xdg-desktop-portal
I also see that other packages shown as pkg pipewire dependencies are
not installed, such as sxmo-utils and that there is a collision that did
not triggered a loop: wireplumber _and_ pipewire-media-session !
Well, in this matter, you are the boss, so it's your call.

Bzzzz
configuration (that I copied from /usr/share/pipewire to /etc/pipewire
to make somme modifications) that I did not wiped when flipping to
bookworm.
After a reboot, I missed pipewire-pulse again with another log
about a missing org.freedesktop.pulseaudio.module-groups, so I made
diffs between old and new confs, saw substantial differences, wiped
/etc/pipewire, killed -HUP *wire and is now up and working fine.
So, I think we can consider this case closed.
Best regards,
