Hi Protserovsd, > In Archlinux mpd package provides /usr/lib/systemd/user/mpd.service file, > which > allows mpd to be started by systemd user session (useful for autostart on user > login). It would be great if Debian packages' also provided this unit.
this is an interesting suggestion. I don't have much experience with user units, but I think it's not too dangerous to experiment a bit. So mpd 0.19.19-1 which I'm just uploading to unstable has a user unit, slightly adjusted from the system unit (simplified - do you know what Arch is using?). I wonder how that works together with the XDG autostart .desktop file that we ship? Please try it out and send me your suggestions! Florian PS: Since you seem to be using stable, can you just add the unit file there and see if that works well? as /usr/lib/systemd/user/mpd.service: [Unit] Description=Music Player Daemon (user unit) Documentation=man:mpd(1) man:mpd.conf(5) Documentation=file:///usr/share/doc/mpd/user-manual.html [Service] ExecStart=/usr/bin/mpd --no-daemon # disallow writing to /usr, /bin, /sbin, ...
