Got Pipewire to run in Bash

I got it to run finally after a lot of heartache though a bunch of this stuff popped up in a separate Konsole window

can anyone tell me what the errors mean, I have audio already but some of these errors looks like it can be fatal

Pipewire messes with XOrg

EDIT: Pipewire messed with the X11 server and I had to remove all commands from my .bashrc and remove the pipewire folders from /etc and .config. My X11 server started working then and now I think that I'm just not ready for setting up Pipewire if it causes that bad of a mess. I'll leave a picture of my tty that I had to use telling me what was going on.

I have used that and it couldn't work for some reason.

I did look through the forums and some people said to add this to .bashrc

Code: [Select]
pipewire &
pipewire-pulse &
wireplumber

and when I did, that's when I encountered these issues

Also this showed up on the tty I had to use to remove the pipewire folders and get X11 working again

The guide doesn't mention .bashrc:
Quote
Because pipewire does not need any service for starting, it's necessary to add the relevant start up commands, to autostart on your Desktop Environment. Or you can create a bash script, which you can add at the startup of your DE (KDE/XFCE/GNOME allow the addition of such scripts):
(Neither it is mentioned in the Arch wiki page on Pipewire.)

What DM and DE are you using? Are you using X.Org or Wayland?

KDE Plasma is me DE and I'm using Xorg

I don't have an issue with autostarting pipewire. The code have I've sent is pipewire actually working, but messing with other things as well

When I got Pipewire to autostart, a problem kept escalating and I didn't notice until all of my terminal emulators started showing the errors on the first post of this topic and I couldn't access pacman, or the CLI for that matter, from the emulators at all because that error message was popping up everywhere, whether it be from new tabs, new instances, new windows and eveutally it lead to it taking over xorg to where I couldn't get my DE to work which is what lead to me removing PipeWire.

Sorry for necrobumping, but this thread is one of the first results that appear when searching "pipewire artix", and it might help some people. I believe there are some changes since this thread was posted, so here's how I got pipewire working on my Artix machine.

pipewire-media-session is deprecated in favor of wireplumber. Pipewire won't work without it, so install wireplumber.

In pipewire.conf make sure you enter this line at the bottom of the file:
Code: [Select]
"/usr/bin/pipewire-pulse" = { "#args" = "-a tcp:4713" }

What this does is to start the pipewire-pulse compatibility layer. Normally this is handled by a systemd service, so instead we just specify a tcp port for it. This way it can communicate with the pipewire daemon.

I then autostart pipewire, pipewire-pulse, and wireplumber (in this order).
I added this line from a pipewire topic from another user though I've tested this and this wasn't the issue.

That is because the commands are still in your ~/.bashrc and are executed whenever Bash is started as interactive shell (man bash). Reverse the changes you have made to ~/.bashrc, create a separate script, for example ~/pipewire-startup.sh and add it to KDE startup as indicated above.

Alright, I've reinstalled my OS and restarted my journey of getting PipeWire to work from the beginning. I recorded the whole thing too to make sure I got all the steps down properly though I still wasn't able to get PipeWire working and I'm just gonna stick with PulseAudio for now
