Setting up MPD for every user on the machine

I'm having a few problems setting up MPD. What I want to do is configure MPD such that it starts automatically at login using the current user config file (so that it uses the correct db) and stops playing and exit (to free port 6600) on logout. This way when a different user logs in MPD will use the correct database and playlists dir.
So far I've created all the needed files (.mpd/{.conf,.pid,etc}) in the home dirs of every user and followed this (MPD/Autostart with systemd/Current Setup) then I followed these steps for user1 (created the needed files in user1's home) Using systemd to manage your session (Should I repeat them for user2?). I'm using this service for mpd:
[Unit]
Description=Music Player Daemon
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/mpd %h/.config/mpd/mpd.conf --no-daemon
ExecStop= /usr/bin/mpd %h/.config/mpd/mpd.conf --kill  #I expected this to stop mpd on logout
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
The problem is that when I log out the music keeps playing which means mpd is still running. If I log in as user2 I can see users1 database (using ncmpc) but I can't control the playback e.g:If I want to skip the current track it stops playing.
Any ideas?

That will stop mpd when the service is stopped, which will happen when the user instance of systemd exits. So logout should do `systemctl --user exit`. (This might be mentioned on the wiki, but that systemd/user page is a big mess.)

  • How do I set Premiere preferences for all users - University lab machine?

    I am setting up an editing suite for our University which has a "per machine" Creative Cloud licence. It is a PC installation. This machine will be used by a class of students who will log in with their own credentials. I need to set the preferences for Premiere (video output, workspace layout, default drives etc) so that it will be the same for all users logging in since we want a consistent setup for teaching purposes and dont want to have to help each student set up so that it shows correctly on the monitors. Is there a way of saving this setting as the default for every user?
    The most important one is the preferences - Playback in order to set up the second monitor.

  • How to create an default profile for every user on one machine? Deployment of configurations?

    On firefox 3.5.X i can copy an configured profile from an user-folder to the programm folder of firefox. \mozilla firefox\defaults\profiles.
    After an new user log in to the machine the default profile will get the actual profile of the new user. With all bookmarks, configurations and so on.
    But this doesn't work with the firefox 3.6.10? What changed? What will be the way i can get an default configuration for every user on one machine? I want to deploy the firefox with an default configuration in our enterprise? Why does the behaviour change?
    What to do?
    Thanks...

    No - there are no missing data, because nothing will be copied. The profile - folder does not work.
    There are the standard first start behavior.
    There might be another trick? Hint? Todo?
    Thanks.

  • You do not have sufficient privileges to complete this installation for all users of the machine. Log on as administrator and then retry this installation

    Hi all
    Have seen a couple threads regarding this but unfortunately nothing that solves my problem thus far!
    Right now, our developers are using the Domain Admin account to promote their website code using MSI files.  I'd like to change this as I feel the Domain Admin account should be on lock down and only used when absolutely necessary, pretty common.  The
    same goes for my account too, I would like to absolve as much use of the Domain Admin as I can.
    Problem is, when they run installers from their own accounts, they receive this error: You do not have sufficient privileges
    to complete this installation for all users of the machine. Log on as administrator and then retry this installation
    The accounts they are using are part of the Built In Administrators group and the Domain Admins group... I'm not sure what other permission you'd need in a domain?  We've gone as far as explicitly giving them local admin access on this server and still
    nothing changes.
    Is there a Group Policy or something that I can change to provide install rights and possibly remove these accounts as Domain Admin and more along the line of Power User?
    Thanks much for your help!

    Hi,
    You could use Software Restriction Policies (SRP’s) or Applocker(supported on Windows server 2008 R2/Windows 7 only) to restrict the running

  • How to control the data to display for every users?

    Hello Experts,
    Im creating a module in ORACLE forms6i and I want to control all the data to display for every USERs. I have 1 Table and it has 5 columns.
    My module has 5 columns and 5 rows of records to display.
    Problems:
    For USER1, I want to display all DATA in column3 and column4 only and all remaining columns shoud be null.
    For USER2 , I want to dislplay all data in Column1 only and all remaining columns should be null.
    How can i control all the data to display for each columns? Can you help me please. Im using the Clear_Items but its not working only the first row are null but the remaining
    rows has its records.
    Thanks.
    Lala

    I understand that you want certain columns not to show at all on the canvas when a certain user opens the form. Then, in the when-new-form-instance trigger, you should set_item_property(x_item, visible, property_false) for each item you do not want to be dislayed, depending on the user.

  • How to Default what fields and assignment blocks appear for every user?

    Is there a standard way to default what users see in the webui? We'd like to display certain assignment blocks, fields, etc without having the user go thru the personalization process. There are certain pieces we need to display across the board for every user and would like to set this up in advance of them logging into the WebUI.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi James,
    With the business roles you can define what the user is allowed to see or do and not.
    So you create your special user business role e.g. Z_USER_SALESPRO and then you can create a business role specific configuration of the views (add/ remove fields) or overview pages (add/remove assignment blocks).
    If you want to you can also deny user with this business role the possibility to personalize their pages at all.
    If you want to show information to all user in the same way then just maintain the default configuration in the enhanced component. As the WebUI always looks for the most specific key found within the configurations available.
    Please make sure you work in default configuration of the enhanced component, else you change SAP standard cheat sheet.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,
    Thea

  • Is it possible to save System preference settings for every user that logins to a Mac OS X?

    I work at a school and we have iMacs running Mavericks 10.9 in our environment.  We have them binded to our Windows domain so that way students can use their own login to access the Macs.  I have a number of System preference settings that I would like to take a effect, but I only see that these settings take effect for every user.  So even if I login as the Main administrator account and set settings in System Preferences, such as not allowing the Wifi symbol to show, the next user that logins will still see the wifi symbol because the setting isn't taking effect for their System preferences.  Does anyone know a way to get System Preference settings to take affect for every user that logins? Maybe a script?

    Modifying the user template is not supported. You can Google for people who have done it in the past. I would recommend going to official route, if possible. Here are a couple of training documents. I'm sure there is more available though more official channels.

  • HT1660 how can I use one single library for all users on the same laptop?

    how can I use one single library for all users on the same laptop?

    You are most of the way there. Each user having access to hard drive is the key. If users are limited in file privileges this is harder.
    Any files you add to your library and any files she adds to her library are available to the other. Just not automatically. Each user must add the files to their own library using the add file or add folder option from menu bar.
    What I have done is set library location to a location outside of My Documents\My Music. On my network storage I have a folder names s:\itunes. Both accounts iTunes are set to use this location for the library.

  • Set default application for *all* users

    Hello people, my 1st post here, so forgive me for possible imprecisions, ambiguity, inappropriateness....
    When I search how to set/change the default app for opening some type of file I always find the answer "through the getinfo". But doing that, I only change the default application for the current user.
    I want to do that for all users of my mac, without repeating the getinfo process for each of them.
    Is there any adminstrative tools for doing that?
    Thank you.

  • Setting Default Preferences for All Users in Crystal Reports Server 2008 v1

    We are currently looking to set the default preferences in the CMC for all of our users.
    I did locate this page Link: [How to set default preferences for all users in Infoview 3.1/CRS 2008]
    The first part of the thread did seem promising but I am unable to find the sample .jsp code that people recommended.
    I would assume that this scenario is common enough that someone knows a way to set universal preference defaults.
    Thank you

    I thought I could just run it too but when I attempt to I get a Windows Script Host error:
    Script: C:\User Prefs.vbs
    Line: 1
    Char: 1
    Error: Expected statement
    Code: 800A0400
    Source: Microsoft VBScript compilation error.
    I noticed the first most line seems to be markup for a web interface though I am not familiar with vbs so I may be wrong.  I used the publishing wizard to put the script on the CMC to attempt to run it through the CMC but it still does not work.

    Is this possible?

  • WHY  PGA  IS  REQUIRED  FOR  EVERY USER  ?

    Good Morning Everyone ;
    I have a question  about PGA.
    WHY  PGA IS REQUIRED FOR  EVERY USER ?
    What i got from google ..
    Even though the parse information for SQL or PL/SQL may already be available in library cache of shared pool,
    the value upon which the user want to execute the select or update statement cannot be shared.
    I cant realize it   Can anyone show clear  example , if  possible ?
    DB Version is  10.2.0.4.0
    OS : oracle linux 5.5
    Thanks in advance ..

    Thanks aman and heok.
    My Question :
    Your explanation is clear. I think i am getting little bit confused.
    Could you please clarify little more ?
    >> session 1 :
    user is HR
    SQL>select * from tab1  ORDER BY name;
    >> session 2 :
    user is scott
    SQL>select * from tab1 where ORDER BY name;
    >> session 3 :
    user is USER1
    SQL>select * from TAB1 where ORDER BY name;
    >> session 4 :
    user is USER2
    SQL>select * from TAB1 where ORDER BY name;
    IS this right aman ?
    Already sql statements are avail in SGA ,Even though all above users needs same information.
    Oracle does sorting operation in PGA. If PGA exceeds , oracle will use temporary tablespace .
    Thanks heok and aman.
