Realtime group/wineasio on F40 Silverblue not working

Hello!

New here, And I am fairly new to Silverblue. However, things are going well. And I got realtime group, wineasio and jack working well on F39 Silverblue. I was all happy. Then i upgraded. And this part does not work anymore. And trying to locate the problem. It looks like its the realtime group that is not a part of the system anymore. It is not in the /usr/lib/group anymore at least.

However, rebasing back to F39, it works again. So thats really cool itself. But, unfortunately I can not figure this one out what happened with F40.

Bottom line is, wineasio, this low latency connection to wine, is not working anymore. And the suspect is realtime group.

Maybe you can re-create this group using groupadd? Do yo know which package had created it in the first place?

Yes I have been using that command. Also the fix that is made for Silverblue. Also, the package is called realtime-setup.

sudo groupadd audio

sudo groupadd realtime

sudo usermod -aG audio $USER`

sudo usermod -aG realtime $USER`

grep -E ‘^realtime:’ /usr/lib/group >> /etc/group
usermod -aG realtime $USER

And this works! But not in F40. Maybe it just a matter of time. Updating pakages. But want to know if not.

Thanks for helping, it wasn’t easy to know what was wrong if somebody has never had that problem. And it turns out that I did not have this problem. It is solved by booting wineasio from another wine version, or in my case playonlinux, Just to unload wineasio from the program (Ableton). To then boot it as intended, and load wineasio again.

In short. I didnt have any problems with F40, it was rather Ableton getting stuck in wine between wine versions.

For everyone who bump in to problems with wineasio and F40, the real fix for me was adding me to the pipewire group.

sudo usermod -a -G pipewire $(YourName)

And also check so your /etc/group has pipewire in it.

Hope this solves something for you. I did not need it in F39
