Audio problem

[digital kernel]

@long ridge Your friend @pale lintel told me what happened. Try this: yay(or your aur helper) -Rcns esound && sudo pacman -S pulseaudio pulseaudio-jack pulseaudio-alsa pulseaudio-zeroconf

[long ridge]

all in one?

[digital kernel]

well, replacing yay with your aur helper.

[long ridge]

i have yay'

[digital kernel]

ok, then use that. That should uninstall esound and install pulseaudio

[long ridge]

thiss? yay Rcns esound && sudo pacman -S pulseaudio pulseaudio-jack pulseaudio-alsa pulseaudio-zeroconf

[digital kernel]

yes

[long ridge]

yes

[digital kernel]

ok. Try that then.

[long ridge]

ok so i did that and got this

[digital kernel]

woops, you forgot the - in -Rcns. I missed it when you sent the command.

[long ridge]

can you type out the whole command please?

[digital kernel]

yay -Rcns esound && sudo pacman -S pulseaudio pulseaudio-jack pulseaudio-alsa pulseaudio-zeroconf

[long ridge]

[kelby@archlinux ~]$ yay -Rcns esound && sudo pacman -S pulseaudio pulseaudio-jack pulseaudio-alsa pulseaudio-zeroconf
-> database already registered
[kelby@archlinux ~]$

nothing happened

[digital kernel]

ok, send your /etc/pacman.conf .

[long ridge]

ok how?

[digital kernel]

just paste it or attach the file.

[long ridge]

how do i get it

[digital kernel]

cat /etc/pacman.conf

[long ridge]

one moment

alright

here it is

[digital kernel]

ok, open /etc/pacman.conf in a text editor.

[long ridge]

how?

i use kwrite

[digital kernel]

what editor do you use?

[long ridge]

kwite

[digital kernel]

run kwite /etc/pacman.conf

unless you meant kate.

[long ridge]

ok

its open

now what??

[digital kernel]

ok, first, in a terminal, run pacman -Sl enlightenment | grep "\[installed\]"

what the?

[pale lintel]

@digital kernel ik this us off topic but how do I change my background

[digital kernel]

I have no idea. It's hyprland. I don't use hyprland. Try #quick-questions

[digital kernel]

@long ridge

[long ridge]

ok

i did that

nothing happens

pacman -Sl enlightenment | grep "[installed]"

[digital kernel]

ok, great. In the text editor, remove everything below ```# An example of a custom package repository. See the pacman manpage for

tips on creating your own repositories.

#[custom]
#SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
#Server = file:///home/custompkgs```

it is at the bottom. you should remove the line [enlightenment] and everything below it.

[long ridge]

ok

i deleted those

what else?

[digital kernel]

remove lines 100-106.

thats it. Now save.

[long ridge]

wait

[digital kernel]

oh wait, it says permission denied doesn't it.

[long ridge]

save it?

no

it worked

i saved it

[digital kernel]

I forgot to mention run it with sudo.

[digital kernel]

huh. That's weird.

[long ridge]

it worked i saved it what now?

[digital kernel]

run sudo pacman -Syu

if you get the same error then it didn't save.

[long ridge]

ok

i ran it

its finsohed running

now what?

[digital kernel]

now you should just run yay -Rcns esound && sudo pacman -S pulseaudio pulseaudio-jack pulseaudio-alsa pulseaudio-zeroconf

[long ridge]

[kelby@archlinux ~]$ yay -Rcns esound && sudo pacman -S pulseaudio pulseaudio-jack pulseaudio-alsa pulseaudio-zeroconf
error: target not found: esound
-> exit status 1
[kelby@archlinux ~]$

[digital kernel]

ok, then you just removed pulseaudio without installing enlightenment. That's why audio was not working.

run sudo pacman -S pulseaudio pulseaudio-jack pulseaudio-alsa pulseaudio-zeroconf. That should fix it.

[long ridge]

its loading

[digital kernel]

ok

[long ridge]

do i have gto reboot?

cuz its still the same

[digital kernel]

maybe, I dont remember. Probably a good idea.

[long ridge]

its still broken

[digital kernel]

try running sudo systemctl enable --now pulseaudio.socket

[long ridge]

[kelby@archlinux ~]$ sudo systemctl enable --now pulseaudio.socket
[sudo] password for kelby:
Failed to enable unit: Unit pulseaudio.socket does not exist
[kelby@archlinux ~]$

[digital kernel]

right, I forgot user. I meant systemctl --user enable --now pulseaudio.socket

[long ridge]

[kelby@archlinux ~]$ systemctl --user enable --now pulseaudio.socket
[kelby@archlinux ~]$

nothing happens

[digital kernel]

does audio work though?

[long ridge]

nope

no audio

[digital kernel]

try systemctl --user start pulseaudio.service

[long ridge]

nothing again

[digital kernel]

well that command shouldn't output anything.

[long ridge]

oh ok

[digital kernel]

try audio.

there is no hopeful emoji.

[long ridge]

its the same

[digital kernel]

ok, sadly, I dont know. It's weird. You might want to try pipewire.

[long ridge]

can we try that?

lets try

if pipewire doesnt work i will reinstalll...

[digital kernel]

ok, you should just have to run sudo pacman -Rcns pulseaudio-jack pulseaudio-alsa pulseaudio-zeroconf && sudo pacman -S pipewire pipewire-pulse pipewire-alsa pipewire-jack

just removes pulseaudio and installes pipewire.

[long ridge]

:: removing pulseaudio breaks dependency 'pulseaudio' required by efl-git

[kelby@archlinux ~]$

what now?

[digital kernel]

ok, run sudo pacman -S pipewire pipewire-pulse

that should hopefully replace it.

[long ridge]

[kelby@archlinux ~]$ sudo pacman -S pipewire pipewire-pulse

[kelby@archlinux ~]$

[digital kernel]

ok, figured it out

[long ridge]

nnice!

[digital kernel]

try this: yay -Rcns pulseaudio-jack pulseaudio-alsa pulseaudio-zeroconf pulseaudio-equalizer efl-git

[long ridge]

[kelby@archlinux ~]$ yay -Rcns pulseaudio-jack pulseaudio-alsa pulseaudio-zeroconf pulseaudio-equalizer efl-git
error: target not found: pulseaudio-jack
error: target not found: pulseaudio-alsa
error: target not found: pulseaudio-zeroconf
-> exit status 1
[kelby@archlinux ~]$

[digital kernel]

well hold on, you do want to remove enlightenment right? Just confirming.

[long ridge]

yeah

i do

i already removed it

[digital kernel]

ok, this should work then. yay -Rcns pulseaudio pulseaudio-equalizer efl-git

[long ridge]

ok its finished

what now?

it ran

[digital kernel]

ok, run sudo pacman -S --needed pipewire pipewire-audio pipewire-pulse pipewire-jack pipewire-alsa wireplumber

[long ridge]

ok finished running

[digital kernel]

ok, reboot.

[long ridge]

ok

Ok

It’s broken now

It won’t boot

[digital kernel]

what? were you using enlightened?

[digital kernel]

@digital kernel be warned, they are a help vampire

[long ridge]

What do I do?

[digital kernel]

were you using the enlightenment wm?

[long ridge]

No

How do I boot

[digital kernel]

what wm/de were you using?

[long ridge]

I’m using KDE

it’s n t booting now…

[digital kernel]

ok, run startx /usr/bin/startplasma-x11

that will start kde

[long ridge]

With the space after startx?

[digital kernel]

yes

though it should have started automatically.

did it work?

[long ridge]

Ok

Works now

[digital kernel]

oh, ok

[long ridge]

No it’s just

A blank screen

Nothing shows up

[digital kernel]

it could take a second.

[long ridge]

Ok

Ya it’s still blank

[digital kernel]

int a tty run systemctl status display-manager.

[long ridge]

I have to restart

[digital kernel]

you can't just switch to a tty?

[long ridge]

Nope

I think I gotta reinstall….

[digital kernel]

that is really weird, we didn't even touch kde.

[pale lintel]

whats wrong now

what happend

[digital kernel]

kde decided to stop working

[pale lintel]

in what way ?

[digital kernel]

um... It didn't start

[pale lintel]

ohh so linux is bricked

[digital kernel]

kde didn't start != linux is bricked.

you could just reinstall it.

[pale lintel]

have u tried chroot or mounting

?? @digital kernel

[digital kernel]

its not my computer, it's @long ridge s

[pale lintel]

also how do u know the keybind to minimise windows on hyprland

[digital kernel]

no idea.

[pale lintel]

i cant seem to figure it out

@long ridge have u tried to chroot or mount your drive ??

[long ridge]

I am reinstalling

I’ll be more careful next time

[long ridge]

We can close this
