A systemd user for root has been attempted (pid 577, not 1). The ConditionUser forbid to start it.
# systemctl cat pulseaudio.service No files found for pulseaudio.service. # systemctl cat pulseaudio.socket No files found for pulseaudio.socket. #
This is a user unit. Use thus: systemctl --user cat pulseaudio.service
Interesting. How would a global configuration change be implemented, since any edit made for a user who runs it goes into a user settings directory?
You seem to have pulseaudio installed, but as far as I now, pipewire should replace it nowadays.
I'm not against change, but this is a result of several years of system-upgrades, and I've never seen anything explaining how to make a switch: # rpm -qa | grep -iE 'pulse|wire' pulseaudio-libs-16.1-4.fc37.x86_64 pulseaudio-16.1-4.fc37.x86_64 pulseaudio-libs-glib2-16.1-4.fc37.x86_64 # dnf search pipewire | wc -l Last metadata expiration check: 2:43:14 ago on Mon 06 Mar 2023 12:29:01 AM EST. 54 # With close to 54 possibilities, it's unlikely I'd choose correctly what to install, or whether or which pulse packages to remove. Is there a conversion script available? Googling
site:fedoraproject.org switch from pulseaudio to pipewire
Produced https://ask.fedoraproject.org/t/how-do-i-switch-from-pulseaudio-to-pipewire-... that seemed appropriate, but clicking on it loaded https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/article-proposal-playing-with-modular... instead. 2nd hit was https://ask.fedoraproject.org/t/how-to-switch-from-pipewire-to-pulseaudio-on... but clicking it produced 404. The few remaining I skipped. Searching elsewhere was also unhelpful. :(
