libpulse-mainloop-glib.so #60

Closed cxd4 closed 7 years ago

I'm very happy that uninstalling PulseAudio from Slackware has been made so easy.

The only drawback is that a few KDE applications don't seem to run anymore. Maybe this wrapper is missing some exports somewhere?

I have to use Xfce for now. When I run startx on Slackware, KDE initialization crashes with:

Could not open library ksmserver: Cannot load library /usr/lib/libkdeinit4_ksmserver.so: (libpulse-mainloop-glib.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
ksmserver: error while loading shared libraries: libpulse-mainloop-glib.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
startkde: Shutting down...

I followed these instructions to remove PulseAudio from Slackware 14.2: https://docs.slackware.com/howtos:multimedia:pulseaudio_non-default Removing PulseAudio Completely

Looks like the majority of KDE applications still run within Xfce.

Dolphin file manager is one of the ones that does not. This libpulse-mainloop-glib library seems to be a dependency of that and a few others, but maybe this is only on the Slackware distribution? Or I would not have been the first person to write this issue.

I've added stub for libpulse-mainloop-glib.so in c2f251f59fef6bf1dc30826e9c7428943fdb805f. Functions there do nothing. But it looks like Dolphin doesn't use them. They are kind of needed for Phonon, I think. So, unless something in Dolphin tries to produce a sound, just having a library with three functions should be enough.

Awesome!

I just got hit with this bug. Thank you for fixing.
