[BUG] Not installing and setting up pulseaudio in install-script

Open Mr-Configs opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Describe the bug

No pulseaudio package being installed in startup script

  • Im very familiar with ml4w as i have been using and setting it up constantly for months now, a bug was spotted in the install script which is not installing the pulseaudio package. Ive tried installing and setting the pulseaudio server up which then allowed the connection but something seems to still be hogging all of the audio ports up leaving me with no sound. This never happened in previous installations, as i always select minimal arch install and use yay to install the stable ml4w-hyprland package and go from there. After setting the audioserver up i have to run pactl set-sink-mute 0 0 and bang audio is back just like that!

After a reboot (may just be my computer because other one works fine on reboot)

  • After a reboot it seems to work fine and let me log in but after the login to the hyprland session, I recieve a dark grey screen and just see the outlines of all the windows but nothing else, forcing me to re run the setup script in another tty to update and then reboot again and it works perfectly fine. Just thought id bring that up as well.

Steps to reproduce

Pulseaudio

  • minimal arch install
  • yay ml4w-hyprland
  • ml4w-hyprland-setup
  • finished with no errors
  • No pulseaudio packages installed after ml4w installation (leading to manual installation and configuration of the audio server).

Rebooting bug on (Lenevo thinkpad p52 with intel core i7 vPro 8th gen (6 core cpu) with a Nividia Quadro p1000 Mobile gpu)

  • run install scripts (works great)
  • reboot after logging in for the first time
  • recieve a grey screen with the outlines of the windows still present but as the window moves in the outlines dont go away and you can see literally everywhere they went. ill try to provide a screenshot of this but its not so easy as i cant see anything that is going on just the outline of every window appears and thats it.

Expected behavior

  • Login as expected and not have to re run the ml4w-hyprland-setup script from another tty.
  • Pulseaudio usually was set up and worked right out of the box with ml4w.

Thanks for testing. Do you think it’s enough to install it with sudo pacman -S pulsaudio to make it working?

yes ill provide what i did to set this up

sudo pacman -S pulseaudio pulseaudio --start (server is then found but still no audio quite yet) pactl set-sink-mute 0 0 (everything now works perfect and as expected!)

Hi, I am using pipewire as recommended in the Hyprland Wiki: https://wiki.hyprland.org/Useful-Utilities/Must-have/ No issues with sound so far. What do you think about pipewire?
