you are my last resource.
I'm trying to start fluidsynth in daemon mode (-s) at the startup. At first I tried to adapt a guide for Arch but I realized that in Debian (sid) the configuration is different:
I'm using systemd. I've tried several times to write a proper fluidsynth.service but I always failed.
Here's my last try:
--------------->----------------------------->---------------------------->
[Unit]
Description=FluidSynth Synthesizer
After=syslog.target
Before=sound.target
Requires=dbus.socket
[Service]
Type = forking
ExecStart=/usr/bin/fluidsynth -s -a alsa /usr/share/sounds/sf2/FluidR3_GM.sf2
Environment=DISPLAY=:0
#Restart=always
#RestartSec=5
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
#WantedBy=multi-user.target
----------------->-------------------------->----------------------------->
This is the error:
# systemctl status -l fluidsynth.service

The error about the period size can be avoided setting "-z 940", but I don't understand why this error appears only when fluidsynth is started as a systemd service and not when I run that command in a terminal. I guess that it may be related to when the command is launched in systemd levels. I think that I should play with the values of After, Before and Requires in the Unit section.
But I hope that someone in this list can help me, I don't have time currently to study systemd (and it would be probably too complex for me).
Thank you in advance.
