Greetings, my first post here.
I'm totally new to Arch and up until now, I have managed to solve the problems by reading online help.
The only problem I can't solve at this stage is trying to run the MUNT service automatically at startup (executable is the "mt32emu-qt" in /usr/bin. (Obtained the package via YAY/AUR Repo).
I have also installed TiMidity++ package and followed the wiki to start the service automatically, which works as it should.
"/etc/systemd/user/timidity.service"
[Unit]
Description=TiMidity++ Daemon
After=sound.target
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/timidity -iA -Os
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
I tried copying the above for munt :
"/etc/systemd/user/mt32.service"
[Unit]
Description=MUNT MT32 Emulator
After=sound.target
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/mt32emu-qt
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
I have enabled the service and I can start it normally.
But I couldn't seem to start it automatically after rebooting. Can still start the service manually at the terminal.
There's no wiki available for autostart for munt, and I have tried reading the systemd wiki and FAQ and all and even outside wiki help on autostart, but I still can't seem to start it automatically at startup/logon. Checking with aplaymidi -l doesn't list munt as a midi port either (which is created when I start manually).
Any help would be appreciated.
Yes, I have read the wiki. And it doesn't seem to work.
Thanks.

Please use [ code ] tags for pasting command output/config files. How do you log in/start your xorg? Also if autostarting fails you should have a journal message/systemctl status to check that will tell you more what does it tell you? It might generally be better to issue that as a normal autostart application via whatever means you use in xorg, see

Thank you, I got the hint from your question about 'how I start my xorg'.
I'm using MATE DE with lightdm + lightdm greeter. I went to control centre and added the "systemctl --user start mt32.service" there directly in the Startup Applications setting.
Thank you again.
