PNGTuber Plus community · Created a new topic Linux Mint Cinnamon can technically run PNGTuber Plus 1.4.5 as root, but doing so breaks microphone access completely.
Due to the fact that Linux Mint PulseAudio/PipeWire runs isolated per-user inputs, if you launch this Godot app as Root to be able to use costume hotkeys, you are left unable to use any mics.
I attempted to write a wrapper that would forward the audio session to an instance of the app that is running as root, but due to entanglements with the DISPLAY/XAUTHORITY values, I was not able to accomplish this.
This leaves me with a choice between toggles or microphone audio to use this app.
TL;DR Global hotkeys are currently not usable on Linux Mint Cinnamon in PNGTuber Plus 1.4.5 without breaking microphone support.
Requests to fix
- Separate out the hotkey handler so it can be run as root without forcing the entire app to be run as root.
- Or, implement another global hotkey system that doesn't require root access.
Thanks for reading. Love the app. I would take a whack at it if I had repo access but since its closed source all I can do is ask for help <3
