Ubuntu Studio users facing upgrade problems |
|
The Ubuntu Studio team have published a report letting their users know there is an issue with performing upgrades from Ubuntu Studio version 22.04 to 24.04. "In most flavors of Ubuntu in 24.04 LTS, the idea was to have PipeWire completely replace PulseAudio as the primary sound server and would force the installation of PipeWire. However, with Ubuntu Studio, we went with a different approach of having PipeWire be the default, but be replaced by PulseAudio if the user wished to switch back to the classic, albeit unsupported, setup. This meant PipeWire had to be a “soft” dependency rather than a “hard” one so that it could be uninstalled by our meta packages without breaking the entire desktop meta package. However, this also made it so that the upgrade resolver (ubuntu-release-upgrader) would get confused when calculating how to perform the upgrade. This is where we are hitting the problem." The developers are working on a solution with Canonical. |
