(solved) lcdproc as a user
Hi all,
I have just setup lcdproc and it works fine as root, but if I start lcdproc as a user nothing happens and the process dies...
If I start it as root I get all I want displayed on the screen, but I cannot find what's the difference since the server lcdd runs as root anyway...
Any idea?
Thanks
weirdly enough lcdproc works as a user if I add '-f', not sure why though...

Pick one and use it, should work like a charm.

[SOLVED]MPD, PulseAudio & Systemd/User
Since the advent of skype 4.3 I've had to switch to using pulseaudio. Things seems to be working fine except for the interaction between pulseaudio and mpd. My goal is to attain the same functionality as I had before when I was just using alsa. The main problem seems to be that the mpd daemon starts before pulseaudio. This means that when I reboot, for example, my music doesn't automatically keep playing. However if I toggle mpc (or open ncmpcpp and unpause) then it works fine.
What I have done
1) I installed mpd using the script found on the wiki
1a) copied ~/.config/mpd/mpd.conf to /etc/mpd.conf and uncomment #user line so it runs as my user
1b) enabled the mpd service with systemctl so it starts on boot, as directed to from 1)
2) Applied the workaround detailed here to make pulseaudio play nice with mpd
From what I can understand this results in the mpd daemon using the /etc/mpd.conf file which mirrors my local one (but I think the process is still started as root?)
If I don't do 2) then I get a problem where if I try to open pavucontrol I get an error saying I'm unable to connect and the system feels very unresponsive. Two second delays navigating around in thunar for example.
fuser /dev/snd/* outputs
» sudo fuser /dev/snd/*

/dev/snd/controlC1: 440
/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p: 440m

quiv 2259 0.0 0.0 11668 2296 pts/0 S+ 15:23 0:00 grep --color=auto 440
For now I have added in
if grep -q "state: pause" /home/quiv/.config/mpd/state; then
mpc toggle
fi
to my ~/.xinitrc as a work around to get pulse and mpd to work together properly. However it doesn't seem to work all the time. If I leave my music playing then when I reboot the system with reboot it seems that somtimes the state is being saved as paused, and other times as play. I suppose I could just mpc toggle without checking, but I don't want a situation where if I happen to not be playing music that every time I reboot my music starts playing.
Other things I have tried are;
A) not using pulseaudio with mpd.
B) not using systemd to manage mpd. Instead I manually started it in .xinitrc and pointed it to my ~/.config/mpd/mpd.conf file. I believe this means it runs as my own user instead of as root. When I did this I commented the username line and also undid 2) from above in ~/.config/mpd/mpd.conf
The problem with A) is that if I use alsa with mpd, mpd hogs my soundcard. My card becomes unselectable in pavucontrol and I cannot use it with pulseaudio., meanng no skype. The benefit of doing this (this is how I used to do it before I needed pulseaudio) is I have no problems with mpd's state being saved incorrectly.
The problem with B) is the mpdstate is saved incorrectly when for example I issue reboot. I can reproduce this by changing my currently played song then rebooting. When I boot back up mpd resumes playback from the previous session instead of recognizing the last thing I was playing. I had a search around on the forums and I found this issue which seems to describe what is happening. There doesn't seem to be a solution there instead a suggestion to user systemd (which I would like to do!) instead to manage mpd. Rasi's post details a unit file but I'm unsure what to do with this.
Looking at the wiki it seems like maybe I am supposed to provide this file so that it overwrites the default mpd.service unit. So I followed the steps listed there. First I created the directory /etc/systemd/system/mpd.d/ then made the user.conf file inside. I tried just putting the additional arguments in
[Service]
User=YOUR_USER
PAMName=system-local-login
I also remember trying to overwrite the entire [Service] section of the original by using
[Service]
User=YOUR_USER
PAMName=system-local-login
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/mpd --no-daemon
because I think just adding the addtional parameters might not have worked. But I'm not sure on this point, maybe both ways worked. This seemed to work but I had the same problem as above. The state was still being saved incorrectly sometimes when I rebooted. I would get a previous session instead of the most recent change. So I tried the other method for overwriting systemd unit files and made the file /etc/systemd/system/mpd.service in which I pasted Rasi's entire unit file. This also seemed to work, but still the incorrect state problem happened.
At this point I didn't know what to try. It seemed like the only option left was to set up mpd using a local configuration and setting up a systemd/User session and managing it that way. The wiki indiciated that if I did it this way I would not have to use the method 2) above. However I was/still am hesistant about doing this. I'm new to arch and the systemd/User wiki page seems very intimidating. I worry that I will create problems that I won't understand how to solve using this method just for the chance that mpd will function correclty with pulse. However I seemed to have exhausted all my possible options so I thought whatever I'll try it anyway! I'm certain I probably haven't done it right however.
So once again I turned to the wiki to help me with setting this up. However I can't make sense of the article. I don't know if I should follow ONLY the Setup since systemd 206 or if I should follow both setup sections? I decided to follow only the first section. I use no DE so I commented out the
[[ -z $DISPLAY && $XDG_VTNR -eq 1 ]] && exec startx
line in my ~/.zprofile. When I set up my system I followed the Automatic login to virtual console. I left this file alone, but upon second thoughts maybe I should have disabled this too? I don't understand if using xlogin-git to austoart Xorg, as described in the systemd/User page, requires me to get rid of this too. I think xlogin-git just starts Xorg so automatic login via getty should be fine?
Immediately when I boot in using systemd to manage my session I notice that there are problems. I don't think my environment variables are being sourced from .zshenv because my panel fails to load. If I kill the panel and load it again it works. This makes me think there is something wrong with the order of units started with systemd.
» sudo journalctl --this-boot --no-pager | grep -i panel ~
Jul 05 16:25:39 lorelai bash[494]: /home/quiv/.config/bspwm/panel/panel: line 16: : No such file or directory
Jul 05 16:25:39 lorelai bash[494]: /home/quiv/.config/bspwm/panel/panel: line 17: : No such file or directory
Jul 05 16:25:39 lorelai bash[494]: /home/quiv/.config/bspwm/panel/panel: line 18: : No such file or directory
In each instance panel is trying to do things based on $PANEL_FIFO which is exported from ~/.zshenv but it doesn't appear to be set at the time systemd starts things up. Apart from these problems, which are probably undoubtedly due to the fact I failed to set up systemd/User properly, I still have problems with mpd. The state seems to be remembered correctly now, however when I reboot I still have to toggle mpc for it to start playback. It seems to be the same problem as when I use setup detailed intially. I suspect perhaps once again there is something wrong with the order here. MPD starts before pulse so it doesn't find anything to play through, then once I issue the mpc toggle command pulse is started and all is happy.
A final note is that I was getting this error yesterday when using systemd/User
● mpd.service - Music Player Daemon

but it doesn't seem to happen anymore.
Also I have no idea if I'm even supposed to use it like this but
» sudo systemctl --user enable mpd ~
Failed to get D-Bus connection: Connection refused
I tried this because I was wondering if mpd was even using the correct service when using systemd/User. I thought perhaps it just was using the one in /etc/systemd/system/ instead of /usr/lib/systemd/user/. I'm still not sure about this.
In the end I've exhausted whatever I can think of. I'm sure I've done a lot of things wrong but I tried my best. Hopefully somebody knows what I've done wrong and can help me.

# Normalization automatic volume adjustments ##################################
# This setting specifies the type of ReplayGain to use. This setting can have
# the argument "off", "album", "track" or "auto". "auto" is a special mode that
# chooses between "track" and "album" depending on the current state of
# random playback. If random playback is enabled then "track" mode is used.
# See <http://www.replaygain.org> for more details about ReplayGain.
# This setting is off by default.
replaygain "album"
# This setting sets the pre-amp used for files that have ReplayGain tags. By
# default this setting is disabled.
replaygain_preamp "0"
# This setting sets the pre-amp used for files that do NOT have ReplayGain tags.
# By default this setting is disabled.
#replaygain_missing_preamp "0"
# This setting enables or disables ReplayGain limiting.
# MPD calculates actual amplification based on the ReplayGain tags
# and replaygain_preamp / replaygain_missing_preamp setting.
# If replaygain_limit is enabled MPD will never amplify audio signal
# above its original level. If replaygain_limit is disabled such amplification
# might occur. By default this setting is enabled.
#replaygain_limit "yes"
# This setting enables on-the-fly normalization volume adjustment. This will
# result in the volume of all playing audio to be adjusted so the output has
# equal "loudness". This setting is disabled by default.

# This setting adjusts the size of internal decoded audio buffering. Changing
# this may have undesired effects. Don't change this if you don't know what you
# are doing.
#audio_buffer_size "4096"
# This setting controls the percentage of the buffer which is filled before
# beginning to play. Increasing this reduces the chance of audio file skipping,
# at the cost of increased time prior to audio playback.
#buffer_before_play "10%"
# Resource Limitations ########################################################
# These settings are various limitations to prevent MPD from using too many
# resources. Generally, these settings should be minimized to prevent security
# risks, depending on the operating resources.

[Solved] Running mpd as user mpd with systemd without using mpd.conf
Maybe this is tivial, but I searched about an hour without any results. I want to run mpd as user mpd. I cant use the mpd config file since mpd set the UID and GID explicitely resulting in mpd not having the necessary supplementary groups to access the locally shared music on my pc. Well I tried to run mpd with systemd by
# systemctl start mpd
and the systemd contains the user mpd
$ cat /etc/systemd/system/default.target.wants/mpd.service

Description=Music Player Daemon
After=network.target sound.target

User=mpd

ControlGroupAttribute=cpu.rt_runtime_us 500000
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
but it did not run as mpd.
Well how can I run mpd as mpd? Is there a way to do it like with dropbox: dropbox@<user>.service
Last edited by manuelschneid3r (2015-03-25 12:52:52)Glad you solved it. Was just typing a response and I'll still add two remarks:
The ps|grep output showed that you run grep as root, not mpd itself (which won't have a space in the command -- the second time it only worked because the mpd group is preceded by a space).
It sounds like it took you a while to find the drop-in configuration snippet in the mpd.service.d directory. These drop-in are shown in `systemctl status`, which is something you'd normally check in situations like these, and that might help to discover them more quickly.

[solved] allow a systemd user service to shutdown the pc (mythtv)
Hi,
I have a problem with my mythtv htpc. What I want is to shutdown the PC if the PC idles.
Mythtv (a pvr htpc software) recognizes if nobody is watching something and starts to shutdown the PC. This is not working ;(
By default, mythtv is running als a system service with a "User=xxx" line in his .service file. I managed to configure mythtv to run as user service, so the user can start/stop it with "systemctl --user start/stop mythbackend" ... but this doesn't solve the problem.
I installed polkit and now the user is able to shutdown the pc (systemctl poweroff) but this also doesn't help.
I already asked in the german forum but nobody has a idea.
Here is the german thread: https://bbs.archlinux.de/viewtopic.php?id=25290
in the first post, you can see my journald output.
can somebody help me? google can't
I don't think this is a mythtv related problem, I think user services are just not allowed to shutdown the pc.
thx for your help!
Last edited by muh3 (2014-01-10 13:26:36)To handle power from XBMC polkit rule is needed. It is probably the same with mythtv.
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
if (action.id.match("org.freedesktop.login1.") && subject.isInGroup("mythtv")) {
return polkit.Result.YES;
Save this as /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/10-mythtv.rules and add user to mythtv group. -
[Solved] Autofs: mount as user?
Hello, I have these:
[virus_found@arch ~]$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/00.rules
KERNEL=="sd[b-z]", NAME="%k", SYMLINK+="flash", GROUP="users", OPTIONS="last_rule"
KERNEL=="sd[b-z][0-9]", NAME="%k", SYMLINK+="flash", GROUP="users", OPTIONS="last_rule"
[virus_found@arch ~]$ cat /etc/autofs/auto.master
/media /etc/autofs/auto.misc
[virus_found@arch ~]$ cat /etc/autofs/auto.misc
cd -fstype=auto,ro,nodev,nosuid,users :/dev/cdrom
flash -fstype=auto,rw,noauto,sync,dirsync,noexec,nodev,noatime,users :/dev/flash
card -fstype=auto,rw,noauto,sync,dirsync,noexec,nodev,noatime,users :/dev/card
Udev rules are for symlinking to /dev/flash. All is working, except for users flag in mount options of auto.misc. Everythng is mounted with root rights How do I solve this?
Last edited by virus_found (2009-10-13 07:53:53)Unfortunately, that won't do anything. Everything is still automounted as root
I wonder, does nobody use Autofs? If so, what's the alternative to it? Except for overbloated GUI filemanagers? Does everybody mount in terminal everytime a cd or flash is inserted? -_- -
[solved] gdm not showing user list and not recognizing gconf
I installed gdm2setup from aur and ran it as root, and since then gdm will no longer display a user browser to select my user from, I have to manually type in the user name and password to login.
I uninstalled gdm2setup, and then did a force reinstall for gdm (pacman -S --force gdm)
Then I rebooted, and as I mentioned, the user browser does not display.
I edited /etc/gdm/custom.conf so that it shows:
[greeter]
Browser=1
...but still no luck.
I made sure that gconf says that disable_user_list is not true, and it isn't.
gconftool-2 --get /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list
false
So I don't know what else to do, or why this is happening.
If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Here is the most recent :0-greeter.log after a fresh reboot
No idea if any of this is related to my problem.

fstab entry for user mounting of iso files?
I've seen it before but I can't seem to find it again.
Last edited by eilenbeb (2010-03-21 20:11:40)I did, but couldn't find what I was looking for.
I got fuseiso to work, and that will do the trick, so I'm marking this one solved.
(I simply had to give 'others' write access to the mount point)

[Solved] Giving A Normal User R/W Access To A SSD
I have virtualbox setup so that it has direct (raw) access to my SSD (which is formatted with NTFS if it that matters) but the only way I can currently get it to work is by running virtualbox with root permissions. How can I make it work with my normal user?
Last edited by brando56894 (2011-07-26 16:15:06)So the problem is that your user have no rights on the /dev/sdXY device on your hostsystem? Let's assume that your SSD is /dev/sdc.
If you look at: ls -l /dev/sdc you will see that only user root and members of group disk have access(rw) on this device.
One could think: ok, i put my normal user in group disk, problem solved. That's right, but it opens unneccassary security risks. It's bad to give a user more rights than needed exactly for one job. In group disk the user has direct access to all blockdevices on the host.
So one possible solution: Devices in /dev are setup by udev via rules. So write a rule that change ownership on exactly the SSD device (sdc). Maybe with owner root:privdev, and put your user in the (new) privdev group.
The IMHO better, simpler solution is IMHO: Use ACL's. (from package acl)
With above example /dev/sdc:
getfacl /dev/sdc
getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file: dev/sdc
# owner: root
# group: disk
user::rw-
group::rw-
other::---
Now add a acl for your user (username brando for ex.)
setfacl -m u:brando:rw /dev/sdc
Control with getfacl and you will see that brando have now rw access directly on the device.
You could put this permanently in /etc/rc.local
Instead of /dev/sdxy in device naming it's better to work with ID's or UUID's. Adressing could be then:
/dev/disk/by-id/???
/dev/disk/by-uuid/???
Identify your SSD device by looking in these directories. Not using the "old" /dev/sdxy naming prevents from wrong access when the SSD may changes the order of blockdevices.

[SOLVED] Finding out connected users in shell
Hi there!
This may be a simple question at first glance: who is connected and how many sessions per user are opened? I thought a 'who' or 'w' would do it.
Sadly, it will only work with TTY sessions. Any session started from a login manager for X will not be taken into account by any of the aforementioned commands.
'loginctl list-... ' does the trick for systemd-based systems. But I'm looking for a more portable solution (BSD, other GNU, etc.).
Any thoughts?
Last edited by Ambrevar (2014-01-11 08:51:00)Thanks, Trilby, this seems to be a good lead!
I've been playing with 'ps' a little to see what I could get. First I think the following command is equivalent and more portable:
$ ps -ax -o user='' -o tty='' | sort -u
'-e' is GNU-specific, and --no-header can be avoided by setting all header entries to the null string.
This will display all 'users', even 'root', 'polkitd', 'dbus', etc. Every X terminal will add another superfluous entry, but we can get rid of it easily:
$ ps -ax -o user='' -o tty='' | grep -v ' pts/' | sort -u
To display a list of all users with the number of started sessions:
$ ps -ax -o user='' -o tty=''| sort -u | awk '$0 !~ / pts\// {x[$1]++} END{for(i in x) print i, x[i]}'
doe 2
polkitd 1
dbus 1
root 3
To display the number of started session for the specified user:
$ ps -o user='' -o tty='' -u $USER | sort -u | grep -cv ' pts/'
Do not use '-U $USER', since it will display one root entry per X session (X euid is $USER but X ruid is root).
I've not tested the above commands on BSD systems, but according to the 'ps' man page from FreeBSD, this should work well. But it may fail if the TTY are not reported the same way. It also relies on the pts names.
Don't know if anyone can come up with a better suggestion, but for now I'm quite satisfied with the result, so I'll mark it as a 'solved'. Thanks again!

[SOLVED]Nightly update as user
Yes, I searched but couldn't find related information. Surprising actually!
I had installed the stable Mozilla Firefox package 7.0.1, then uninstalled it and installed Nightly via AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19830
Now, updates are available but it won't let me install them( run as user). Is there anyway to do this without using yaourt/pacman but via the default firefox updater, as a user?
Using Arch x86_64 and Openbox if that matters.
Thanks!
Solved, see my post below.

This did it. For anyone who might have the same issue, do this.
1. login as root in terminal
2. see where nightly is installed.
mine is in /opt/firefox-nightly10.0a1
3. chmod -R 777 the firefox directory
4. exit, run firefox-nightly as normal and update from the Help menu.
Thanks everyone for help!
This is the best arch-hacks and simplest help I have yet found in all Arch (distros) forums. Firefox (nightly and aurora) updated as it suppose to do, without having to be the QUEEN of England (or the pope) to use pacman which "anyway" would be telling me again that keys or packages are corrupted lol ahahah;)
But I did this, as a way to update future other install as well like google-chrome for example.
sudo chmod -R 777 /opt/
This is the kind of "mark as solved" I wanna see and go for whenever I do a google search (or any search to get to the point

[SOLVED] systemd/cron as user: timer doesn't start after boot
Hello,
I've tried to follow the wiki's systemd/cron functionality article to have a systemd service to run hourly.
Everything seems to be working ok, except that the hourly timer doesn't start automatically : I have to issue a
systemctl --user timer-hourly.timer start
command every time I start the machine to get the timer running.
Can you help me understand what I'm missing to get the (user) timer to start automatically after boot?
Thanks!
My setup consists of the following files:
/home/myuser/.config/systemd/user:

test_service.py is a simple python script that appends the current time to a file, to check if the service is being run by the timer. (it is after I start the timer after boot, and runs correctly every hour)
db_backup.sh is a script that dumps a database into a text file in a mercurial repository, commits the change and pushes it to backup locations.

[Solved] White screen when user switching, but only the *second* time?
I finally got around to adding another user to my arch installation.
Here's what happens --
User A is logged in
User A selects logout, then "switch user" --> GDM login screen comes up *properly*.
User B does whatever, selects logout, then logout (I haven't tried yet with switch user for this step, can't imagine it being any better)
Logout occurs, but instead of GDM it's a white screen.
Entering login credentials blindly does return to original session of User A, however.
This is Arch 64, Nvidia driver, GNOME, compiz fusion...
Last edited by arch_nemesis (2009-01-20 14:15:16)It appears that some update in the past few days fixed this problem. Yay!
However, I really hate having to bow to the "it fixed itself" fairy, so if anyone knows any way I may have been likely to fix it by accident (I am sort of continuously messing around with things, but nothing that I'd think would impact this), I'd still be interested to hear it. -
[SOLVED] Getting my systemd user service to talk to dbus
I'm currently trying to set up a nice email workflow with mbsync, msmtp and notmuch.
My passwords are saved in the Gnome keyring "login", and I've configured mbsync to use secret-tool to retrieve them. Unfortunately when secret-tool is invoked from this systemd user service there is an error when it in turn tries to call dbus-launch.
Here is the error:

Any ideas how I can use secret-tool from within a systemd user service? The Wiki includes some information about DBus and systemd here but it looks a little outdated...

[SOLVED] Question about systemd-user-session
Hi!
I'm trying to setup a systemd --user session (using user-session-units and xorg-launch-helper from aur).
I have a couple of questions; this is my .xinitrc now:
#!/bin/bash
export BROWSER=chromium
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
[ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
done
unset f
fi
spacefm --desktop &
compton -cGCf -m 0.9 -i 0.8 -D 5 --shadow-exclude 'g:e:Conky' &
volumeicon &
/home/federico/Script/touchpadoff_onboot.sh &
#connman-ui-gtk &
/home/federico/Script/calised-script &
dimdaemon &
tint2 -c .config/tint2/dragonauta.tint2rc &
conky -p 5 -c Script/conky.conf &
exec openbox
1) is "if" statement required when using systemd-user-session? And if yes, how can I reproduce it?
2) "conky -p 5 " will wait 5 seconds doing nothing. Will this mean that other .service will wait for it to finish? (i guess no, since they're executed in parallel).
3) how can I export "chromium" as my default browser?
Thank you very much!

I finally managed to get my old method (autologin to vt and autostart x) to work together with systemd --user: i put in .xinitrc "systemd --user" and deleted everything else.
So, my .config/systemd/user/ works. The problem is in the [email protected], i guess. I configured it like wiki says, mind to post here your /etc/systemd/system/[email protected]?
Thanks.

[SOLVED] vsFTP and virtual users
EDIT: One should really install pam_pwdfile if he wants this to work (it's also in the wiki, but I'm blind)
Hey,
I'm trying to set up vsFTP with virtual users on my machine. Here is what I did:
# pacman -S vsftpd
# mkdir /etc/vsftpd
# htpasswd -cd /etc/vsftpd/.passwd ftpguest
*password*
# vi /etc/pam.d/vsftpd
auth required pam_pwdfile.so pwdfile /etc/vsftpd/.passwd
account required pam_permit.so
# useradd -d /storage/ftp virtual
# chown virtual:virtual /storage/ftp
My /etc/vsftpd.conf:
anonymous_enable=NO
pam_service_name=vsftpd
hide_ids=YES
local_enable=YES
dirmessage_enable=YES
xferlog_enable=YES
connect_from_port_20=YES
chroot_local_user=YES
local_root=/storage/ftp/$USER
user_sub_token=$USER
guest_enable=YES
guest_username=virtual
virtual_use_local_privs=YES
listen=YES
# mkdir /storage/ftp/ftpguest
# chown virtual:virtual /storage/ftp/ftpguest
# systemctl start vsftpd.service
Then I point my browser to ftp://myip and I get a prompt for username and password, but the problem is that the user I created (ftpguest) can't log in. What am I missing?
Thanks
