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?
Moreover, it appears to be a dependency of Firefox -- attempting to remove pipewire also wants to remove:
MozillaFirefox MozillaFirefox-translations-common
But what is it doing running and gobbling up virtual memory when firefox hasn't even been started?
It's the default alsa output. See /etc/alsa/conf.d/pipewire.conf - not that I understand much of it. If I try to remove pipewire, not only firefox, but also chromium and flatpak are listed for removal. IOW, I think you do need it :-) -- Per Jessen, Zürich (11.1°C) http://www.cloudsuisse.com/ - your owncloud, hosted in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
