The debian package does not install on PopOS 22.04 due to it not using pulseaudio.

...

It would be awesome if you could support the alternative too.

...

Debian package from the website.

Well, I have to admit pipewire is the future since Ubuntu want to migrate to pipewire and many distros like it and I hope rustdesk can do that as well.

Noted, Thanks

@rustdesk Pulseaudio can't be installed as well:

$ sudo apt install pulseaudio
Please touch the device.

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

Can confirm pipewire is replacing pulseaudio in all major debian/ubuntu based distro's.

Pipewire has a Pulse compatibility layer which is what I use on Arch. See if you have a package called pipewire-pulse or similar.

This would probably be the solution, but the debian package needs to reference pipewire-pulse as an alternative, and not have a hard dependency on pulseaudio

ok, so repackaging allows me to install and then run rustdesk:

$ mkdir -p newpack oldpack/DEBIAN
$ dpkg-deb -x rustdesk-1.1.9.deb oldpack
$ dpkg-deb -e rustdesk-1.1.9.deb oldpack/DEBIAN/

# modify control
$ sed -i "s/pulseaudio/pulseaudio | pipewire-pulse/g" oldpack/DEBIAN/control

$ dpkg-deb -Z xz -b oldpack newpack
sudo dpkg -i newpack/rustdesk_1.1.9_amd64.deb

Great workaround. But when will this be fixed in the official download? Also when will devs submit this to default repos of major distros (Ubuntu, PopOS, Arch, Fedora, etc)?

This is also became an issue on Debian Testing as of today, as pipewire is replacing pulseaudio, and removing rustdesk due to unsatisfied requirements.

Try out nightly build, pulseaudio dep removed

This worked for me and another guy I know. If you want to use the current release, this steps work and don't actually change anything other than the depends on the installer.

So how can i avoid the "Child process exited with code 100" error in layman's terms? Just copy these commands into terminal? https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/issues/559#issuecomment-1312749660
