Bug 23963

Assigning to all packagers collectively, since the registered maintainer for this package is mostly unavailable. CC'ing him and some committers.

I don't have an English system and don't see an equivalent of "PulseAudio Preferences" in my menu, only the Dutch equivalent of "PulseAudio Volume Control".. is that what you're referring to?

pacmd and pactl are PulseAudio command line tools, they come from the same pulseaudo SRPM, but are packaged in a separate pulseaudio-utils RPM.

With "man pacmd" you'll find how to reconfigure PulseAudio during runtime, "man pactl" will show a subset of those options

No. I *think* they are separate GUI programs, because I have a memory of seeing it once at least when trying applications.

Good to know if the Preferences GUI thing is a myth.

paprefs-1.0 is the latest upstream released in July.
This reminds me of https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18797 where gsettings schemas were not installing in an rpm scriptlet, but it's late and I need sleep :\

@marja - please don't assign this to me - just too busy at the moment.

M7beta1 Classic 4 Dec 2018, updated to today.
Under XFCE: confirm exactly what Barry reports in comment 3.

Created attachment 10554 [details]
parefs strace output

I ran it under strace if anyone can figure out the issue.
I also posted a pastebin of the strace output on upstream (PA) irc

OK found it.
The schema required by paprefs is in a separate package pulseaudio-module-gsettings which is now needed by paprefs rather than the pulseaudio-module-gconf which used to be required.

I have changed the Require in paprefs and added a conflict in PA for these two modules which should not be used together.

Please test when pulseaudio-12.2-3.mga7 and paprefs-1.0-3.mga7 arrive on your mirrors.

Closing as fixed

Resolution: (none) => FIXED
Status: NEW => RESOLVED

Thank you Barry (although I think closure was a bit premature...)

BEFORE the latest update, I was astonished to find on my Classic 5-desktop system (re c7):
 package pulseaudio-12.2-3.mga7 is not installed
 package paprefs-1.0-3.mga7 is not installed
 package pulseaudio-module-gsettings is not installed
 paprefs-1.0-2.mga7
which accounts for rather a lot!

AFTER the update:
 pulseaudio-12.2-3.mga7
 paprefs-1.0-3.mga7
 pulseaudio-module-gsettings-12.2-3.mga7
 paprefs-1.0-3.mga7
all by itself. Looks good.
Running under LXDE, the SystemTools menu entry 'PulseAudio Preferences' does indeed launch the GUI. I will assume likewise for other desktops unless I find & report to the contrary.

Hence confirm the resolution.
