Cantata & mpd not working.

I get connection to personal failed or failed to send command to personal - not connected, every time i open it up.
Google doesnt give any useful clues and a reinstall didnt help either.

I tried with gmpc to see if its cantata that messes up, but no. gmpc says error 13 problems to connect to localhost.

Mpd & in terminal gives this output:

Jormvngandr@localhost:~> exception: unrecognized parameter in config file at line 283: type

And when looking at line 283 and the surrounding lines:

# An example of a pulseaudio output (streaming to a remote pulseaudio server)
#
#audio_output {
type        "pulse"

name        "Pulse Output"
##    server        "remote_server"        # optional
##    sink        "remote_server_sink"    # optional

If i try to start it as a service with service mpd start (same thing if i try with a restart)

ob for mpd.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl  status mpd.service" and "journalctl  -xe" for details.
[1]+  Avslut 1                mpd

If i run a status check i get this:

● mpd.service - Music Player Daemon
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/mpd.service; disabled; vendor preset>

And before someone asks, no i havent edited any files manually since i dont know how to & where to find them. This is a clean install of 15.2 with just the “first run” setup that cantata shows.

Clarification comment

Mpd & in terminal gives this output:

Jormvngandr@localhost:~> mpd &
[1] 6849
Jormvngandr@localhost:~> exception: unrecognized parameter in config file at line 283: type


And if i look at line 283 in a text editor it says this:

An example of a pulseaudio output (streaming to a remote pulseaudio server)

#audio_output {
type “pulse”
name “Pulse Output”

server “remote_server” # optional

sink “remote_server_sink” # optional

If i try to run it, or restart it as a service.

Jormvngandr@localhost:~> systemctl start mpd
Job for mpd.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl  status mpd.service" and "journalctl  -xe" for details.

Jormvngandr@localhost:~> systemctl restart mpd

A status check

Jormvngandr@localhost:~> sudo systemctl status mpd
[sudo] lösenord för root:

Looks like a few # was missing so edited the config so the config should look like this around line 283

An example of a pulseaudio output (streaming to a remote pulseaudio server)

#audio_output {
#type “pulse”
#name “Pulse Output”

server “remote_server” # optional

sink “remote_server_sink” # optional

This is how a status check looks after the edit of the config

Jormvngandr@localhost:~> systemctl --user start mpd.service
Jormvngandr@localhost:~> sudo systemctl status mpd
[sudo] lösenord för root: 
● mpd.service - Music Player Daemon
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/mpd.service; disabled; vendor preset>
   Active: inactive (dead)
     Docs: man:mpd(1)
           man:mpd.conf(5)
lines 1-5/5 (END)

So how do i take it from here? any suggestions?
