[arch-general] mpd fails to start
Hello, Recently mpd has stopped working. It doesn't start up at boot and when i run rc.d start mpd I get this error /etc/rc.d/mpd: line 6: 24502 Aborted /usr/bin/mpd /etc/mpd.conf /dev/null. I am using gnome3(if thats somehow causing the problem.) I believe its due to some ALSA pulseaudio mixup but I am not sure. However if I run sudo mpd I get this output: [papul@papuldesktop ~]$ sudo mpd output: No audio_output defined in config file output: Attempt to detect audio output device output: Attempting to detect a alsa audio device output: Successfully detected a alsa audio device and after that if I run mpc play I get this: [papul@papuldesktop ~]$ mpc play Metallica - The Unforgiven II [paused] #4/8 0:00/6:36 (0%) volume: n/a repeat: off random: off single: off consume: off ERROR: problems opening audio device Please help coz I haven't been able to listen to music for quite sometime now. :(

Uncommenting ALSA audio output section in /etc/mpd.conf solved the problem. Thanks for the help. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
