patch to enable pulseaudio-equalizer to find XDG dirs
Ali, ran across the same issue while trying to set some values in ~/.config/pulse and could not determine why they weren't 'sticking' until I discovered the ~/.pulse dir. note the patch in comment#1 is unofficial. trying to track down the maintainer. I exchanged some email with the original developer. He has not worked on the app for 7 years. There is a newer tool included in distribution, qpaeq, shipped in pulseaudio-qpaeq, but after a little testing, prefer the pulseaudio-equalizer with the presets. The presets are lacking in the qpaeq package. I know about pulseaudio-qpaeq. Unfortunately it wants to pull in a bunch of qt libraries that I don't want to be pulled in on my system. pulseaudio-qpaeq ~50kb the rest ~21mb Installed 70mb for just one equalizer, that basicly alters 3 lines in the pulse config file.

patch to enable pulseaudio-equalizer to find XDG dirs
The patch I provided needs to be retracted.
What I discovered is there is no checking to see if the existing user default.pa is present, and overwrites with the contents of the /etc/pulse/dwefault.pa without checking, blowing out any custom config.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '25'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Description of problem: After logging into the Desktop (XFCE or GNOME), the pulseaudio daemon creates it's user config directory in: $(HOME)/.config/pulse After launching pulseaudio-equalizer-gtk, this creates another config directory in: ${HOME}/.pulse Running pulseaudio-equalizer-gtk from command line will also spit out an "error" message like: ls: cannot access '${HOME}/.pulse/presets/*.preset': No such file or directory Because of the fact, that pulseaudio daemon has changed the location. It would be advisable to fix this in pulseaudio-equalizer, so it points to the same directory as e.g. pulseaudio daemon does. Expected results: pulseaudio-equalizer should store it's settings in: $(HOME)/.config/pulse ... rather than ... ${HOME}/.pulse
