Wireplumber cannot run for lack of libcamera

had this issue for a while but someone else brought It up in another thread.

Checking out libcamera packages in AUR

yay libcamera

Pipewire-libcamera-git requires systemd and won't install from AUR as a result.
libcamera-git provides no relief for the issue.

I was using pipewire-media-session previously but some dependencies changed and I thought I would give getting Wireplumber working a go again.
People seem to be able to use Wireplumber succesfully so I'm wondering what's up/ what I'm missing
Pretty new to linux so be gentle.

I'm glad I picked this name because it fits me.
Wireplumber wasn't being prevented from running because of a lack of libcamera.
I'm a dumbass and despite wireplumber being in my ~/.xinitrc it wasn't actually ever launching.
Threw it into the Plasma autostart now so things are working fine. Just need to figure out why it wouldn't launch in ~/.xinitrc
If I knew how to delete a post I would

It happens like that.
I've often thought that hitting 'post' opens up the 'thinking outside the box' pathways in my brain, as many times I've seen the light just after posting.
Put up your ~/.xinitrc if you wish.

My high school teacher who was a former officer in green beret was fond of saying two things.  the first was that there is a time and a place for everything and the second is that intelligence isn't always having the right answer but also knowing where to find it.  As i'm halfway through my 5th decade he's likely passed on some time ago but i always remember those two sayings of his and him fondly.

We had an update last night that enabled elogind support in wireplumber.
