Anyway, I'll add something like `exec mkdir /tmp/pipewire && touch /tmp/pipewire/pipewire-0.lock` to my i3 config as a workaround. Feel free to suggest a better solution :/

Kaidezee

Okay, I'm onto something. I tried running pipewire -v in terminal and it spit out this error message:
[E][18:08:03.954191] mod.protocol-native | [module-protocol-: 797 lock_socket()] server 0x55cdeb8374e0: unable to open lockfile '/tmp/pipewire/pipewire-0.lock': No such file or directory

Does Pipewire store a log file?

Kaidezee

Something appears to be running, according to these lines in htop:

I wanted to set up Pipewire to work with my bluetooth headphones, and as the title states: it doesn't work!
It doesn't appear to even be running, because when I run
$ pw-cli
Error: "failed to connect: Host is down"
that's what I get. My xinitrc:
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/nvidia-settings --load-config ...

Kaidezee

what problem are you trying to solve by restricting the sshd to listen on a local socket?

None, really. I just wonder if this is possible or not.

Kaidezee

There doesn't seem to be an option for that in /etc/ssh/sshd_config (didn't find it in the man entry), so is there some (maybe other) way to make it listen on a UNIX socket (and also maybe prevent it from listening on a TCP port)? Also so that it sticks after reboot.

Kaidezee

That works, I suppose. Thank you

. But why are those warnings being generated in the first place?

Kaidezee

Er.. it doesn't compile. I am trying to upgrade to 6.15 kernel with this config (I didn't test it yet since graphics drivers don't compile :( ): https://0x0.st/8YqN.txt

Kaidezee

I simply used gentoo-kernel-bin package and everything works now (Yes, I'm lazy). Marking this as solved.

Kaidezee

Nevermind, I fixed it. Didn't change anything though.

Kaidezee

Also I noticed that at boot kernel says something like "snd_hda_intel: cannot probe for codecs". Not sure if this is relevant.

Kaidezee

Hmmm ... you said you have booted with Ubuntu and there it works ... with the same (old == no iommu) UEFI setting ? ... If yes, then it would be nice to have it, but I don't think it is the reason.

That's what I think, too.

Kaidezee

Quick update; I found a setting to enable IOMMU support in UEFI.

Kaidezee

Also, here are the same commands but executed on my Gentoo.
lspci, dmesg, lsmod

Kaidezee

Pietinger,

Sound does work on Ubuntu.
I did what you asked. lspcis look the same, and I don't really know what to make out of dmesgs...
Could you maybe try please?
lspci, dmesg, lsmod
As for wgetpaste, I couldn't find it in Ubuntu repos

Kaidezee

Pietinger,

Thank you for reply.
We had some machines where this was important for sound:
Code:
# CONFIG_SERIAL_MULTI_INSTANTIATE is not set

( https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Pietinger/Experimental/Manual_Configuring_Current_Kernel#Serial_Bus_Multi_Instantiate )

I enabled this option, but ...

Kaidezee

I forgot to add my aplay -L, so here it is.

Code: Select all

# aplay -L
null
    Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)

I installed Gentoo on Steam Deck and can't quite figure out how to get ALSA working.
I run gentoo-sources 6.12.8 with this configuration https://dpaste.com/FQB9EMMV7 .
What could cause this behavior?
There is an interesting line in dmesg that seems related:
# dmesg | grep -i 'acp5x'

Update 2; I got EFI stub working by enabling use of dracut on installkernel and specifying uefi="yes" in /etc/dracut.conf.

Kaidezee

Update; things seem to work with GRUB instead of EFI stub.
That's not exactly what I want though.

Kaidezee

Have a look at troubleshooting section of readme https://github.com/Biosias/uefi-mkconfig .
1. chroot problems
Sometimes when running uefi-mkconfig from within a chroot, lsblk can cause problems resulting in uefi-mkconfig to not work. (For example when installing Gentoo Linux.) If this happens ...

Kaidezee

Hi, I have this little problem that my system can't output any text (or anything, really) on the screen after boot; the only thing that is being displayed is Deck's logo.
I boot with EFI stub (no initramfs, if that matters), followed this guide https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Pietinger ...
