how 2 get mpd working as a user service on open rc with pipewire using libpulse so it shows in pulsemixer
enable user services if yours aren't saying they startted when you log into tty: cd /etc/init.d;ln -s user user.user0 replace user0 with your user
ok now rather than be sensible, the developers decided to put the script and configs of USER SERVICES in fucking /etc so just
copy /etc/init.d/mpd to /etc/user/init.d and comment out the function start_pre() also change the CDGFILE:= to $HOME/.config/mpd/mpd.conf don't use XDG_CONFIG_HOME as most distros inc gentoo don't set it the XDG spec is a mess, see picrel also comment out need localmount in depend()
ok in ~/.config/mpd/mpd.conf add this stuff: music_directory "~/music" # set to what urs is maybe even $XDG_MUSIC_DIR log_file "$HOME/.cache/mpd/log # (yeah XDG_CACHE_HOME was also unset?) pid_file "$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/mpd/mpd.pid" # or any tmpfs owned by you, [systemd-/e]logind provides this normally user "user0" # set to your user idk use $USER group "user0" # prolly ok as $USER on your system too
ok now setting pulseaido as the output device do
audio_output { type "pulse" name "Pulse Output" # idek if this is arbritraty mixer_control "Master" }
you might have to make a few dirs and even touch a couple files
keep doing rc-service –user mpd start and when it stops complainign about missing paths it should work
why bother? pipiewire; why is it not a system service? why does it reject connections from other dbus sessions? why does each user have to run it themselves? at least it works better than pulseaudio ever did, but htis deliverate design choice (again?) baffels me and makes me think IBM are full of people who want to make my life hard. ok so that's why it has to be a user service.
the alternative is to run mpd as a system service as user mpd and group audio, with the following config for raw alsa output:
audio_output { type "alsa" name "default" mixer_type "software" }
then you can have a system-wide mpd isntance. I already did this on my laptop I just wanted to find an excuse to test openrc's user services. the only difference is that each user can have their own stream, and the mp daemon's volume level will show in things like pavucontrol. wow
I want to make a roguelite story-based looter-shooter with left4dead-like levels - each one is divided into segments (but they will be kinda different each time you play). >My question How good is Claude at making a videogame long-term? I don't plan on just putting in 1 prompt, but I want to make sure Claude can put up with a longer project with more complex requests, not just "make a movement script"
