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.

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.

Oh la la!! It is on my list! Shall be the next step. Best would be
before to learn a litle bit of Vim.

But I will.
On the list:
thunderbird --> mutt
Firefox --> w3m
urxvt with colors

and last step, xfce --> DWM, i3 or awsome, doesn't know excatly

All this takes me a lot of time, as I shall find most of configurations
by myself, but slowly, I do the job, and really love Arch !!

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.

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.

Ah? I thought it was indeed much more light and simple to manage, and
Arch was moving to a pure systemd. I think I must read more maybe!

when did arch state they are moving to systemd?
