Can't get mpd to start as a user automatically

Post by sysrqer »

Just wondering if anyone can help with this because I'm puzzled.

I have a service for mpd to start as a user but it does not start on boot. If I run

Code: Select all

systemctl --user start mpd.service
manually it starts but for some reason

Code: Select all

systemctl --user enable mpd.service
doesn't make mpd start on a fresh boot.

Any ideas as to why?

What config file that would use, and is there possibly 'user' defined there? Or is mpd using some directories which aren't owned by user?

I have done running mpd as myseld with just editing /etc/mpd.conf
