services: mpd: Do not hardcode environment variables.
Services should not expect for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR to be set. Inferring from the past comment, this seemed to resolve an issue when the service was launched with an _interactive_ user-account, which tends to have this variable set by the login-manager. This is not the case for system accounts and setting this variable results in PulseAudio (launched by the same system user) failing to start since it attempts to use a nonexistent directory. Ideally, this service should have a home-service counterpart but the old behavior can be emulated by setting the environment-variables field to: (environment-variables (list (string-append "XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/" (number->string (passwd:uid (getpwnam "myuser")))))) * gnu/services/audio.scm (mpd-configuration)[environment-variables]: New field. (mpd-shepherd-service)[start]: Use new field. * doc/guix.texi (Audio Services)[Music Player Daemon]: Document it. Signed-off-by: Liliana Marie Prikler <liliana.prikler@gmail.com>
