Wireplumber errors

burraugh

Hi eric,
I mentioned it in another thread but pipewire/wireplumber stopped working after the last upgrade.
You are right that rtkit errors aren't preventing the services from running, but it seems there's something wrong with wireplumber especially.

The logs for the service show this:
66-execute: info: Starting service: wireplumber N 11:47:58.945522 wp-internal-comp-l ../wireplumber/lib/wp/private/internal-comp-loader.c:945:wp_internal_comp_loader_load: Loading profile 'main' N 11:47:58.980658 wp-internal-comp-l ../wireplumber/lib/wp/private/internal-comp-loader.c:589:on_component_loaded: <WpCore:0x5ae3b4e771b0> optional component 'support.logind [module: libwireplumber-module-logind]' failed to load: Failed to locate module libwireplumber-module-logind N 11:47:58.980673 wp-internal-comp-l ../wireplumber/lib/wp/private/internal-comp-loader.c:641:wp_component_array_load_task_execute_step: <WpCore:0x5ae3b4e771b0> skipping component 'monitor.bluez.seat-monitoring [virtual]' because some of its dependencies were not loaded E 11:47:58.991644 default ../pipewire/spa/plugins/bluez5/upower.c:54:upower_get_percentage_properties_reply: Failed to get percentage from UPower: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NameHasNoOwner W 11:47:58.992040 spa.bluez5 ../pipewire/spa/plugins/bluez5/bluez5-dbus.c:5648:get_managed_objects_reply: BlueZ system service is not available N 11:47:58.996513 wp-device ../wireplumber/lib/wp/device.c:630:wp_spa_device_new_from_spa_factory: SPA handle 'api.libcamera.enum.manager' could not be loaded; is it installed? N 11:47:58.996522 s-monitors-libcame enumerate-device.lua:30:chunk: PipeWire's libcamera SPA plugin is missing or broken. Some camera types may not be supported.

Being bluetooth errors, which I don't use and don't have installed, I'm not even sure if those errors are relevant.
But it was working fine up until last week. I can have audio back if I remove pipewire/wireplumber services and fall back to using alsa.
One thing that caught my attention is that wireplumber is throwing errors during installation, as if some systemd dependency was expected.
systemctl: command not found error: command failed to execute correctly
That error is shown when installing wireplumber and pipewire-pulse too (which I don't know why is a hard dependency while pipewire-alsa is optional? Both are optional in arch repos).
Also wpctl status shows no cards or audio devices.
Whatever info you need I'm more than happy to help tracking this issue down.

Wat-now

Do you have pipewire-alsa and pipewire audio installed? Unfortunately pipewire audio will pull bluez as a dependecy but tI think this is what it needs to work.

I dont have bluetooth either but I bit the bullet so to speak if that is what is required to get sound working with pipewire/wireplumber.

burraugh

Hey, thanks for the answer.
Yeah, I do have both of those installed. And I also installed bluez package to see if the errors went away but it made no difference unfortunately. Unless I'm missing some extra configuration regarding bluez.

I have bluetooth disabled on my machine and I get the exact same error on 66 (0.7.2.1) with a fully functional pipewire, pipewire-pulse & wireplumber services. There's something about the upgrade to 66 (0.8) that's causing our pipewire problems.

As a workaround, I just the tried the following script on another machine upgraded to 66 (0.8), with my audio user tree removed:

#!/bin/bash
pipewire &
sleep 2
wireplumber &
exec pipewire-pulse

It's based off this void linux reddit thread: Getting Pipewire to Work for You [The KISS Guide]

I call mine start-pipewire.sh and stuck it in a scripts folder in my home directory, and then had my window manager call along with other items on startup. So far it's working for me. Maybe it can be a workaround for others until we figure out a fix for properly managing pipewire et al under 66. Cheers, -nfg

eric

Guys, can i ask you to open an issues at the corresponding git repo

Hi all

As a workaround, I just the tried the following script on another machine upgraded to 66 (0.8)
Thanks nfg, indeed removing the services and calling them from my .xinitrc did fix the problems and audio is back to normal.

Guys, can i ask you to open an issues at the corresponding git repo
Sure. I don't have an obarun git user yet but I'll get to it when I'm back home.

eric

Please update 66 to the latest version (0.8.0.1) and tell us.

CrazyAce

So the new ISO works much better and Im able to install Obarun once again via EFISTUB (thank you Eric), but now I am having issues with pipewire. Im running XFCE as I was before the latest release and I had always started pipewire, pipewire-pulse and wireplumber via xrcinit (which worked fine) but I noticed with the latest ISO that these things are already installed and services managed, but unfortunately it doesnt work for me currently. Im using HDMI output as well and alsa mixer doesnt allow me to adjust anything but mute or unmute. Pavucontrol wont actually launch either. Here is the output from 66 regarding pipewire from both user and root.

Wat-now

Your required by shoud have Required by : wireplumber pipewire-pulse instead it has Required by : None

Did you start the user services with %66 enable -S wireplumber pipewire pipewire-pulse ?

CrazyAce

Wat-now All 3 services are indeed running, but I went ahead and disabled them and then re enabled them again, relogged and Im still getting the same output from 66 status pipewire.

Wat-now

what do 66 status pipewire-pulse and 66-status wireplumber output?

Wat-now

seems like a race condition with... address already in use...Do you have pipewire trying to start as root also or something? It should only be user services for audio.

CrazyAce

Wat-now This is how it was by default out of the box without me changing anything other than installing xtce4 & xfce4-goodies. Ill try to see what it's doing with pipewire as far as root and if anything I'll disable it. I'll let ya know what I find out when I have a chance to get back to the PC.

Wat-now

Ok, and btw adding your user to the pipewire group may get rid of all those rtkit errors as long as '/etc/security/limits.d/25-pw-rlimits.conf' exists. see: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/wikis/Performance-tuning#rlimits
