[SOLVED] Daemon autostarting even after disabling it.

oniichan · 2013-01-20 19:25:58

Hello.
Well, after a few problems I reinstalled mpd and ncmpcpp, because desperate attempts at trying to fix software mixing, but that's not really the problem.
Anyways, disabled mpd via systemctl (both mpd and mpd.service, both as root and as --user), it still autostarts, and I have to pkill it in order to be able to get my music.
I'm not quite sure what files to paste, or for that matter even what gets it to autostart. It starts with system, not at login or xorg. I'm not sure what more info i can supply.

You need to find out if any other service depends on mpd.

Mentioning that.. I do have "mpdscribble" installed.. Does that conflict?

Read the service file:

$ cat /var/abs/community/mpdscribble/service 
[Unit]
Description=last.fm updater for MPD
Wants=mpd.service
After=mpd.service

[Service]
Type=forking
PIDFile=/run/mpdscribble.pid
ExecStart=/usr/bin/mpdscribble --pidfile /run/mpdscribble.pid

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

That's a bug. mpdscribble should be wanted by mpd, not the other way around. https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/33484

I don't use mpd but from the description of mpdscribble as "An mpd client which submits track info to last.fm" it sounds as if mpdscribble depends on mpd. Why would mpd depend on mpdscribble?

Big thanks to all of you. It works, just using the file in the link Stebalien posted.
