pipewire-pulse.service does not activate from its socket

Frontear commented 4 hours ago

Describe the bug

Ran into this issue trying to use quickemu, and getting

qemu-system-x86_64: could not stat pidfile /run/user/1000/pulse/pid: No such file or directory

Checking systemctl status shows that the socket is active but apparently is not recieving a trigger to start the service?

Rolling back my config to nixpkgs rev 1355a0cbfeac61d785b7183c0caaec1f97361b43 and it works. Current config nixpkgs rev bc947f541ae55e999ffdb4013441347d83b00feb does not work. No version changes or module changes have occured between these two (besides a treewide stdenv.is -> stdenv.hostPlatform.is). I tried to bisect a bit more but I keep getting cache misses and my laptop isn't particularly strong enough to build the 2k packages that it needs at each bisect step.

From perusing journalctl --user, it seems that the service activates very early on my older configuration. This entry "Started PipeWire PulseAudio" is not available anywhere on my newer configuration.

You probably have a broken symlink in ~/.config/systemd. Try clearing that out.

Nothing in there, only gpg-agent-* related things that get generated by HM. In general I didn't expect anything in here since I use ephemeral roots.
