I've found that Debian starts it as a user service. In Slackware I just start it on the cli as user and all is sweet. (None of that systemd shenanigans in Slack). I can make an /etc/rc.d/rc.mpd file to run it as a system service which may have advantages.</p><p>The problem I've found is that I can start it as user 'mpd' (with his home in /var/lib/mpd, setup with no password) and it runs fine but I get exceptions in the log because there is no sound service that it can use (pipewire or pulse). Maybe I could run it through alsa. Need to do some more research on this but for now as user it is and as said it's sweet.</p><p>Maybe some code this weekend. Maybe 😆 </p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/mpd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mpd</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/mpc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mpc</span></a></p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/@jloc0" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>jloc0</span></a></span> any ideas?</p>
