ungoogled-chromium-bin and apulse

[figueroa]

My desktop amd64 system is -pulseaudio +alsa working well according to my tastes. media-sound/apulse is installed, and firefox is my usual web browser.

I occasionally use ungoogled-chromium-bin from the pf4public respository. However, it will not run as installed in the /opt/chromium-browser/ directory.

/usr/bin/chromium and /usr/bin/chromium-browser are symbolic links to the script /opt/chromium-browser/chromium-launcher.sh where the last line (line 59) reads:

Code: Select all

exec -a "chromium-browser" apulse "$PROGDIR/chrome" --extra-plugin-dir=/usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins ${CHROMIUM_FLAGS} "$@"

resulting in :

Code: Select all

$ chromium
/usr/bin/chromium: line 59: exec: apulse: not found

Changing that last line removing the "apulse" as follows:

Code: Select all

exec -a "chromium-browser" "$PROGDIR/chrome" --extra-plugin-dir=/usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins ${CHROMIUM_FLAGS} "$@"

Results in ungoogled-chromium-bin running just fine, sound working as expected.

Other ungoogled-chromium binaries such as the AppImage from https://ungoogled-software.github.io/un ... -binaries/ such as ungoogled-chromium_118.0.5993.88-1.1.AppImage also work just fine as is.

apulse support was added long time ago upon a request: https://github.com/PF4Public/gentoo-overlay/pull/46. It might've stopped functioning since then Does "apulse" package no longer provide "apulse" binary? What would "equery f apulse" print out?

[figueroa]

PF4Public -- thanks for responding. Here is the requested output:

Code: Select all

There appears to be no apulse binary.

The /usr/bin/firefox that is installed with firefox-bin contains ONLY the following reference to apulse:

Code: Select all

APULSELIB_DIR="/usr/lib64/apulse"

Media and streaming work fine with both the ungoogled-chromium-bin and firefox-bin.

[PF4Public]

I see, so they decided to substitute the library with their own. Which means there is no longer need to prepend the command with apulse. FYI fixed in https://github.com/PF4Public/gentoo-ove ... 834bb4575c

[figueroa]

I re-synced pf4public and re-emerged ungoogled-chromium-bin. I don't observe any change though it still works with my hack. Should I wait longer to sync? Will there be a version bump?

[PF4Public]

Check, which version you are installing. I fixed only ungoogled-chromium-bin-119.0.6045.199.ebuild.

[figueroa]

Just now re-synced and re-emerged ungoogled-chromium-bin-119.0.6045.199 (the version I had been using). I can now see the change in chromium-launcher.sh and it works without needing any modification and sound continues to work normally. Thank you and well done.

FYI, I'm not sure it matters, but these are the outputs I see when launching from a terminal shell:

[PF4Public]

If it ain't broken, don't fix it It is searching for Vulkan, which you probably don't have. Should be harmless.

[figueroa]

Absolutely. I'm still Vulkan-free. Thanks for the feedback.
