Now, as the root user: ninja install -Dsystem-lua=true: This switch enables using the system version of Lua. Omit this switch if you have not installed Lua, but note that meson will download and install it's own version. In order for Wireplumber to be used by Pipewire, Wireplumber must be configured to start when a desktop environment is started. To configure Wireplumber to start when a desktop environment is started, run the following commands as the &root; user to enable the systemd user units: systemctl enable --global pipewire.socket && systemctl enable --global wireplumber First, create a shell script that will start Wireplumber and Pipewire in the correct order as the &root; user: cat > /usr/bin/pipewire-launcher.sh << "EOF" #!/bin/sh # Begin /usr/bin/pipewire-launcher.sh # Start Pipewire first. exec /usr/bin/pipewire & # Wait for a second for Pipewire to launch. sleep 1 # Start Wireplumber now that Pipewire has been started. exec /usr/bin/wireplumber & # End /usr/bin/pipewire-launcher.sh EOF Next, make this shell script executable as the &root; user: chmod +x /usr/bin/pipewire-launcher.sh Finally, create an XDG Autostart file that will run /usr/bin/pipewire-launcher.sh when a desktop environment is started, as the &root; user: cat > /etc/xdg/autostart/pipewire.desktop << "EOF" [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Name=Pipewire Comment=Starts the Pipewire and Wireplumber daemons Exec=/usr/bin/pipewire-launcher.sh Terminal=false Type=Application EOF Now that Wireplumber is configured to start when a desktop environment is started, it is recommended that you log out of your session and log back in again.
