According to the screenshot, Plasma might need it.

It was part of pulseaudio 14.x but it's gone in 15.x

In the Arch distribution this module exists : usr/lib/pulse-15.0/modules/module-gsettings.so

Is it really not in the last Slackware current ?

The Slackbuild doesn't seem to have changed the meson build.

It's not there anymore:

$ sudo updatedb
$ locate module-gsettings
/etc/pulse/default.pa.d/module-gsettings.conf

That file I created with a snippet from pulseaudio 14.x that got removed in 15.x:

Quote:

### Load additional modules from GSettings. This can be configured with the paprefs tool.
### Please keep in mind that the modules configured by paprefs might conflict with manually
### loaded modules.
.ifexists module-gsettings.so
.nofail
load-module module-gsettings
.fail
.endif

But then I realized that module-gsettings.so was actually missing.

Maybe a new/updated dependency is needed?

There's a meson option for gsettings which can be set to : enabled, disabled or auto.

When set to auto (the default), meson report "Gsettings" as enabled but the module is not build. To force meson to build it, simply pass -Dgsettings=enabled to 'meson':

Code:

$ tar tvf /tmp/pulseaudio-15.0-x86_64-1enabled.txz|gsettings

-rwxr-xr-x root/root     18648 2021-08-20 16:57 usr/lib64/pulse-15.0/modules/module-gsettings.so

-rw-r--r-- root/root      8636 2021-07-27 22:02 usr/share/GConf/gsettings/pulseaudio.convert

Here is a patch for pulseaudio.Slackbuild (but maybe there's a better solution to solve this) :

Edit: I just read SeB's post (thanks!) after sending mine.

I just recompiled pulseaudio 15.0 from slackware's sources (https://mirrors.slackware.com/slackw.../l/pulseaudio/) and in the config phase it says:

Quote:

Enable GSettings: true

But it doesn't install module-gsettings.so in the final package.

It's in the sources but it's not compiled.

Confirmed!

Code:

/tmp/package-pulseaudio/usr/lib64/pulse-15.0/modules/module-gsettings.so

Probably a good candidate for the "Requests for -current (14.2-->15.0)" thread
