  • Don't forget to install the libpulse and libjack replacement libraries.

    On Fedora 32 this is with:

    sudo dnf install pipewire-libpulse pipewire-libjack pipewire-alsa

  • This works fine in Fedora 33.

  • @wtaymans Hi, sorry if this was covered somewhere else and I haven't noticed - what's the proper way to go about this in Fedora Silverblue given that the file system is meant to be immutable ? Should one create /etc/ld.so.conf.d/pipewire.conf and put the path to so's in there ? Thank you for designing and implementing pipewire - it's looking great!

  • Fedora wiki recommends installing pipewire-pulseaudio to replace pulseaudio with pipewire. However, installation fails as it conflicts with pulseaudio-libs-glib2, which cannot be removed as it's a dependency of gnome-shell:

    $ sudo dnf install --allowerasing pipewire-pulseaudio

    Error: 
     Problem: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: gnome-shell

    Looks like manually creating the symlinks is currently the way to go.

  • The pulseaudio side of this seems to be solved but if your still having trouble with libjack.so.0 the solution for the time being is to create /etc/ld.so.conf.d/pipewire-jack-x86_64.conf with the following:

    /usr/lib64/pipewire-0.3/jack/

    Then sudo ldconfig

    This should be in a list of known issues in the wiki.

    There are also a number of packages that depends on pipewire 0.2 on Fedora 33:

    sudo dnf remove pipewire0.2-libs-0.2.7-4.fc33.x86_64

  • Btw, after switching to pipewire, I cannot connect anymore to my bluetooth headset:

    [bluetooth]# connect 34:DF:2A:3B:A6:38
    Attempting to connect to 34:DF:2A:3B:A6:38
    Failed to connect: org.bluez.Error.Failed

    (tried also via blueberry GUI app)

    Are there symlink required to replace pulseaudio-module-bluetooth?
