endeavouros after uninstall pulseaudio

weak summit
#

hm

#

endeavouros

#

this is not of arch

gleaming marsh
#

i have reboot them

weak summit
#

so why are you asking here

gleaming marsh
#

its arch

weak summit
#

no

gleaming marsh
#

based

weak summit
#

it is not.

#

based yes

#

thats it though

#

it's not arch

gleaming marsh
#

cmon

weak summit
#

... it uses a lot of different shit that arch kept.

#

don't "c'mon" me

gleaming marsh
#

might not

weak summit
#

no it does

#

this is absolutely true

gleaming marsh
#

they are quite similar

weak summit
#

i.e. dracut vs mkinitcpio

gleaming marsh
#

solve it or not

weak summit
#

they're similar yes

#

and dude you gave no info

#

did you look at the arch wiki?

gleaming marsh
weak summit
#

Jesus.

#

the command i gave you is something that removes it from the chain of dependencies

#

so there's other pulse stuff going on still more than likely

#

i just showed you how to uninstall the package itself

#

here

#

chatgpt gave me this:

gleaming marsh
#

where output

weak summit
#

FUCK

#

hang on.

#

im gonnahave to edit this so you see the bash code.

#

you should type "how do I switch from pulseaudio to pipewire with endeavouros?" in chatgpt like i did

#

without quotes

#

thats the output you'll get, probably the same answer

gleaming marsh
#

ight

weak summit
#

let me try to help anyway

#

wait no it shows the bash

#

``Step 1: Installation of PipeWire
Update Your System:
Open a terminal and run the following command to ensure your system is up to date:

bash
Copy code
sudo pacman -Syu
Install PipeWire:
Install PipeWire along with the necessary compatibility packages to support PulseAudio clients:

bash
Copy code
sudo pacman -S pipewire pipewire-pulse pipewire-alsa pipewire-jack
Step 2: Disabling PulseAudio
Disable PulseAudio Service:
PulseAudio should be disabled to prevent it from conflicting with PipeWire. Execute:

bash
Copy code
systemctl --user disable --now pulseaudio.socket pulseaudio.service
Enable PipeWire Services:
You need to enable the PipeWire and its Media Session daemon:

bash
Copy code
systemctl --user enable --now pipewire.socket pipewire.service
systemctl --user enable --now pipewire-media-session.service
Step 3: Verification
Verify PipeWire is Running:
Check if PipeWire is running correctly:

bash
Copy code
pactl info
Look for the Server Name: field in the output. It should indicate that PipeWire is handling the requests.

Testing Sound Output:
Test the sound output by playing audio through any media player. You can also use command-line tools like aplay (for ALSA) or paplay (for PulseAudio, it will be handled by PipeWire).

Step 4: Additional Configurations
Configuration Files:
If needed, you can customize PipeWire settings by editing the configuration files found in /etc/pipewire/ for system-wide changes or ~/.config/pipewire/ for user-specific changes.

Real-Time Priorities (Optional):
For professional audio work, you might want to enable real-time priorities for the PipeWire daemon:

bash
Copy code
sudo nano /etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf
Uncomment and modify the context.properties section as follows:

plaintext
Copy code
context.properties = {
...
"realtime.priority" = 9
...
}
Jack Applications (If Used):
If you use applications that rely on Jack, ensure that the pipewire-jack drop-in replacement is properly set up and recognized.``

made it smaller

``Step 5: Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues:

Check Status:
Check the status of PipeWire services to ensure they are active:

bash
Copy code
systemctl --user status pipewire.service
systemctl --user status pipewire-media-session.service
Logs:
Look at logs for any errors that might indicate what the issue is:

bash
Copy code
journalctl --user-unit=pipewire
Reverting Back to PulseAudio:
If something goes wrong and you wish to revert back to PulseAudio:

bash
Copy code
systemctl --user disable --now pipewire.socket pipewire.service pipewire-media-session.service
systemctl --user enable --now pulseaudio.socket pulseaudio.service
sudo pacman -R pipewire pipewire-pulse pipewire-alsa pipewire-jack
Switching to PipeWire can significantly improve audio handling on Linux, especially for complex setups involving professional audio work. The steps above should help you migrate smoothly from PulseAudio to PipeWire on EndeavourOS.``

#

and when it says daemon-reload

#

type it.

#

its telling you what to do

gleaming marsh
weak summit
#

yeah you're still trying to troubleshoot

#

go up further

#

make sure you change the configuration file

gleaming marsh
#

sudo daemon-reload

weak summit
#

oh my God.

#

yeah sudo systemctl --user daemon-reload

gleaming marsh
#

gleaming marsh
#

this right?

weak summit
#

that goes in the configuration file... /etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf

#

uncomment context.properties

#

then make sure it is as you showed me there

gleaming marsh
#

nothing in /etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf

weak summit
#

put it in there

gleaming marsh
weak summit
#

put it in

#

save it

#

thats not gonna change anything

#

systemctl --user disable --now pulseaudio.socket pulseaudio.service

weak summit
#

sudo pacman -S pipewire pipewire-pulse pipewire-alsa pipewire-jack

#

do it again

gleaming marsh
weak summit
#

yes

#

try rebooting first

#

just to get a handle on it

#

and go and and do sudo pacman -S pulseaudio -- we're gonna switch to it with it already there since we removed it
