Unfortunately, adding pipewire-audio as a recommends to ubuntustudio- meta simply does not work as it produces the exact same result as it doesn't force pipewire-audio to be installed.
Julian: Adding pipewire-audio as a *depends* is simply not an option for Ubuntu Studio as, at least for 24.04, the vision was to have pipewire be uninstalled for a pulseaudio-bridged-to-jack setup which was our classic setup prior to 23.04 for backwards compatibility. Having pipewire-audio as a depends simply breaks that as the removal of pipewire-audio would cause the removal of ubuntustudio-desktop which would break the entire installation. Therefore,, in the case of an Ubuntu Studio upgrade, ubuntu-release- upgrader needs a quirk to force the installation of pipewire-audio. ** Changed in: ubuntustudio-meta (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2078639 Title: Ubuntu Studio upgrade, pipewire <-> pulseaudio conflict To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/2078639/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
