Removes the lock screen media controls GNOME 49 introduced with no way to disable. ALSO if you're on Fedora 43 like me, or another distro that has implemented auto-pausing of media when you lock your screen, and interested in disabling it do this: mkdir -p ~/.config/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf.d echo 'wireplumber.settings = { linking.pause-playback = false }' > ~/.config/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf.d/99-disable-mpris-pause.conf systemctl --user restart wireplumber pipewire To undo it simply remove the file you created above and re-run the restart command.
