[opensuse] 15.2 -- What is pipewire and how do I disable it?
by David C. Rankin 11 Oct '20

11 Oct '20

All, I look at 15.2 and I have this pipewire process at the top of top. I didn't start it, nor did I ask for it to be started. I check the systemd services and there is no pipewire service -- but that process is running away. I know it is some type of media service I don't want or need. How do I turn it off? -- David C.

[opensuse] 15.2 Firefox dependence on pipewire is a BUG, user targets are bad news
by David C. Rankin 11 Oct '20

11 Oct '20

Wolfgang, all, Removing the unneeded pipewire from openSUSE 15.2 BREAKS Firefox, e.g. $ firefox XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/lib64/firefox/libxul.so: libpipewire-0.3.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Couldn't load XPCOM. Further, loading pipewire as a per-user systemd target is the wrong way to go. That effectively removes control of the process completely unless you want to decipher a 120-character XDG_ENVIRONMENT... command line to interface with the process. Starting pipewire through /etc/xdg/autostart/systemd with duplicate link through /etc/systemd/system/user is a bad idea. On 15.2 that autostarts the process when it isn't needed. The fact that removing the unwanted pipewire BREAKS firefox is ridiculous. pipewire is NOT a dependency of firefox in any way. Firefox should run on 15.2 regardless of whether pipewire is installed or not. This is nuts... -- David C.
