Hai all, I just installed and used Rocky linux 8.3 RC1 two day ago. I have questtion
Hi @afiadi ,
Cheers!
I know, I already there before ask to this forum. But thank you for your solution. I still can’t do it because my Rocky Linux is installed di hdd laptop. I won’t mess up my Rorcky linux if I go to the arch linux documentation and do install pipewire.
Can i just install pipewire and pulseaudio automatically replaced by pipewire after that instalation procedure?
I’m noob, I actually don’t know what will I’m doing, I need details step by step install pipewire in Rocky Linux 8.3 RC1.
In Arch Wiki doesn’t clearly mention step by step installation pipewire if pulseaudio already exists.
Can you help me doing that?
Thanks In Advance.
About Calibre, in Fedora calibre can installed from rpmfusion repo, why in rmpfusion for centos 8 there is no Calibre packet. Is it safe to install calibre just copas this command to my terminal Rocky Linux?
sudo -v && wget -nv -O- https://download.calibre-ebook.com/linux-installer.sh | sudo sh /dev/stdin
FYI my Rocky Linux doesn’t have python3 installed.
TIA.
@afiadi
No problem together will be written Pipewire replacement’s guide.
I’ve do a small guide for you and the rest of the people who wants to set up Calibre in your system.
When I have a bit of time, I will help you!
Cheers!
Thank you so much, Calibre is installed in my Rocky Linux. 
But when I’ve tried to install pipewire I type this and this is the result:
[afiadi@rockylinux ~]$ sudo dnf install pipewire

Dependensi terselesaikan.
Tidak ada yang dilakukan.
and I tried to continue install pipewire-docs, pipewire-alsa, pipewire-pulse and pipewire jack and this is the result:
[afiadi@rockylinux ~]$ sudo dnf install pipewire-docs pipewire-alsa pipewire-pulse pipewire-jack

in my current repo my Rocky Linux can’t find all those package
This is my repo Rocky Linux:
[afiadi@rockylinux ~]$ dnf repolist
id repo nama repo
appstream Rocky Linux 8 - AppStream

extras Rocky Linux 8 - Extras
rpmfusion-free-updates RPM Fusion for EL 8 - Free - Updates
How can I solved that?because in my fedora 34 I’ve already installed pipewire.
TIA.
I think is not prepared Pipewire to use in Rocky Linux yet. Fedora 34 is comming by default.
You can see this packages I have installed on Fedora:
rpm -qa |grep pulse
pulseaudio-libs-14.2-3.fc34.x86_64
pulseaudio-libs-glib2-14.2-3.fc34.x86_64
pulseaudio-qt-1.2-5.fc34.x86_64
kde-settings-pulseaudio-34.5-1.fc34.noarch
pipewire-pulseaudio-0.3.27-1.fc34.x86_64
Pipewire packages too
rpm -qa |grep pipew
pipewire0.2-libs-0.2.7-5.fc34.x86_64
pipewire-0.3.27-1.fc34.x86_64
pipewire-libs-0.3.27-1.fc34.x86_64
pipewire-pulseaudio-0.3.27-1.fc34.x86_64
pipewire-alsa-0.3.27-1.fc34.x86_64
pipewire-gstreamer-0.3.27-1.fc34.x86_64
pipewire-jack-audio-connection-kit-0.3.27-1.fc34.x86_64
pipewire-utils-0.3.27-1.fc34.x86_64
However, in Rocky:
And if you try to remove pulseaudio, you will remove almost all system. So, you have to wait… or compile and replace Pipewire.
Siap, Oke I see, fedora 34 was prepared to use pipewire for default audio servicce server, Yes pipewire and jack audio server working flawlessly in my fedora 34. Thanks you very much for your sugestion and explanation , I will wait Rocly linux use kernel ready for use pipeweire. In my ears pipewire is much clean and musical sounding. FYI jack audio server in my Rocky Linux isn’t working.
Very different package pipewire in Rocky Linux and pipewire in Fedora 34. I’d rather have to wait for it to be available and ready for use in my Rocky Linux. Thanks for yout help
Yes, Fedora 34 with Pipewire is awesome. You can use OBS Studio with Wayland to resolving these problems OBS does have before with Wayland.
Yes, Rocky Linux maybe takes more time to introduce new versions of Pipewire, maybe you can download srpm, adapt it and install it to try if you can use Pipewire with Rocky.
