plasma-login-manager triggering wireplumber crash

Hi there!

I've been fighting with this for a few days, but basicually on every boot, I get a crash coredump from wireplumber run by the plasmalogin user

Everything when I login works fine, and wireplumber is running nicely.

I've masked the wireplumer service for the plasmalogin, and now there are no errors or crashes.

I would swear I didn't somehow enable it for that user (I don't even know how to enable services for other users with systemd)

So I'm thinking if this could be a "packaging issue" where somehow plasma-login-manager package should be configured not to run wireplumer service?

Since Wireplumber is crashing calling alsa-lib there are two issues, one in wireplumber and another one in alsa:

Re: plasma-login-manager triggering wireplumber crash

The wireplumber package has a wireplumber.install file which will enable it for all users (not sure whether there's some mechanism to mark users to be excluded from that). I'd say if you don't need any audio based accessibility features on the greeter it's pretty safe to disable.
