error: target not found: lxapperance

not the mouse error but a typo inside netinstall.yaml:

community/lxappearance 0.6.3-4 (90.3 KiB 395.3 KiB) [lxde] 
    Feature-rich GTK+ theme switcher of the LXDE Desktop

So I like a tidy journal. Saw a few errors.

A little searching later and apparently a pipewire error. Decided to try and resolve by installing pipewire-pulse and pipewire-alsa.

Now:

Feb 23 10:24:43 elloquin pipewire-media-session[989]: GetManagedObjects() failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown

Sound works normally. Despite the errors. Pipewire is relatively new so :man_shrugging:

But pipewire is not installed?

No it is there. The first journal output is with pipewire only. Second is after pipewire-pulse and pipewire-alsa were added. Not really a thing and harmless as everything works. Just digging into things.

edit sorry it was there I replaced it with pipewire-pulse.

You mean it came default? Like with the iso

49

Yes pipewire was there. I did not add it.

Am I doing this right?

I do believe you are! Do you mind running pactl info and see what sound engine you are running. It should be PulseAudio…I think pipewire might’ve been installed as a dependency…

Not trying on the laptop right now but the touchpad worked on it before it was just the usb mouse. Now on qemu the usb mouse doesn’t work.

So what does this mean? It’s fixed now if i try again? I’m assuming this it’s what’s pulled in on the install?

55

Thank You! My WM died sorry about asking all you guys! Can you check if pipewire is installed…

Not enough purple. :laughing:

Got It! It’s because xdg-desktop-portal-wlr has pipewire as a dependency! Phew I thought I was going crazy!
