| OvenWerks | Eickmeyer: how permanent do you think the contents of /etc/ld.so.conf.d/pipewire-jack-x86_64-linux-gnu.conf will be? | 21:54 |
|---|---|---|
| Eickmeyer | Never thought about it. Not a file I'd touch unless I knew what I was doing. | 21:55 |
| OvenWerks | I have to remove it to be able to use jackd | 21:55 |
| OvenWerks | I have to be able to replce it to use pipewire as jack | 21:55 |
| Eickmeyer | That's scary, because manipulating anything in /etc from a packaging standpoint is rough. | 21:56 |
| OvenWerks | Eickmeyer: basically I need to have a copy of it in /usr/share/studio-controls/ | 21:56 |
| Eickmeyer | Right, so a temp copy if doing the switch. | 21:57 |
| OvenWerks | yes | 21:57 |
| OvenWerks | it is a one line file that puts the directory with pw's libjack at the front of the lib path | 21:58 |
| Eickmeyer | makes sense to me, as long as it's a copy of what's there that goes back if the user switches back using studio-controls. | 21:59 |
| OvenWerks | Actually it should be switched back before doing a pw package update as well | 21:59 |
| OvenWerks | (I wouold guess) | 22:00 |
| OvenWerks | Maybe I need an empty copy too | 22:00 |
| Eickmeyer | Well, maybe. The thing is dpkg just knows not to overwrite a file in /etc if it's been changed in any way, including deletions. | 22:01 |
| Eickmeyer | It usually defers that to the user if they want the new version if it differs from the original version. | 22:01 |
| OvenWerks | but if it changes in the package, I want the new contents :) | 22:01 |
| OvenWerks | even if it defers it to the user, does not also write a file with the same name with a .new extension or something? | 22:02 |
| Eickmeyer | Depends on what the user selects. | 22:03 |
| Eickmeyer | If the user selects "N" it will make a .new. If the user selects "Y" it will make a .old with the former contents. | 22:03 |
| OvenWerks | The gui uses "no" as default I think | 22:03 |
| Eickmeyer | No is usually the default in text and in gui. | 22:04 |
| OvenWerks | So I should look for those files as well. | 22:05 |
| OvenWerks | What happens if the file is just.... missing? | 22:05 |
| Eickmeyer | Probably, but we're just going off of memory more than anything. | 22:05 |
| Eickmeyer | If the file is missing, then dpkg treats it as if the file has been modified by the user. | 22:05 |
| OvenWerks | All it has in it is: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pipewire-0.3/jack/ | 22:07 |
| Eickmeyer | Literally just a path. | 22:14 |
| OvenWerks | yes this makes me think there is more to ld.so.conf(.d) than the man page says | 22:24 |
| OvenWerks | I am pretty sure ldconfig still reads: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ where there is a libjack.so also. | 22:26 |
| OvenWerks | So the problem is that the contents of that file are going to change because the directory name: pipewire-0.3 is going to change with the pipewire version | 22:30 |
| Eickmeyer[m] | Yep, makes sense. | 22:47 |
