Dear list I am switching lots of my GUI apps to CLI ones. Currently, I am moving from Clemetine music player to ncmpcpp. My*mpd.conf *shall have some incorrect settings, as *mpd.log *returns this error:
Jul 10 13:04 : avahi: Service 'Music Player' successfully established. No protocol specified xcb_connection_has_error() returned true No protocol specified
I have been reading articles for hours now, but can't find any clear answer. When I start ncmpcpp, I see my audio files, but when playing, there is no sound. Pulseaudio is well configured, as Clemetine is working perfectly. Here is the part from my *mpd.conf*:
user "mpd" audio_output { type "pulse" name "pulse audio" mixer_type "software" # server "127.0.0.1" # optional ## sink "remote_server_sink" # optional } Part of */etc/group*:
audio:x:92:mpd users:x:100:mpd avahi:x:84: mpd:x:45:
I have no idea why this doesn't work. ssh is on my box, could it be the cause ? TY for your help.

Using mpd & pulse you need to run mpd as the same user that you're logged in with and accessing pulse with on the desktop. -- ben darby <bendarb@gmail.com>

Just found fater 3 hours of reading ! $ *aplay -l* .... card 1: SoundSticks [SoundSticks], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Then I uncomment alsa in my *mpd.conf *this way:
audio_output { type "alsa" name "My ALSA Device" device "*hw:1,0"* # optional -----> this indocate the card 1 (Harmon Cardon soundsticks) device 0.

Isn’t that contrary to your plan? You want to use easier, lighter and more KISS software. And you want to switch to systemd. Which is anywhere near KISS. -- Kwpolska <http://kwpolska.tk> stop html mail | always bottom-post www.asciiribbon.org | www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html GPG KEY: 5EAAEA16 | Arch Linux x86_64, zsh, mutt, vim. # vim:set textwidth=70:

I probably shouldn't even go here, but IMHO, having one program start and stop stuff based on config files is more simple than a chain of shell scripts. =-Jameson

Really? When i was running Debian, i'd agree with you. In that distro you enabled/disabled daemons with symlinks in the correct locations. Arch uses /etc/rc.conf where you add or remove items from a single array. Ok, to be honest; i haven't looked very deep into systemd, but so far i don't really like it for my systems. As for the learning part: good for you! Learning vi (basics) will be really helpful. mvg, Guus

when did arch state they are moving to systemd?

when did arch state they are moving to systemd? With systemd-tools replacing udev, I thought it was a first step to move later to systemd. Then I remember a very long discussion on this list about a potential move to systemd. I shall have misanderstood then!

Wrong. That was because of upstream merging udev code into systemd (not refering to PID1 systemd)

Less work, so best for me. As a n00b, I have enough work for the next two months to configure my box the way I want, and use the convenient tools.
