systemd unit stuck on activating

[hbjydev]

When I run systemctl --user start mpd-mpris.service, it just sort of hangs.

If I SIGTERM it, the unit is still running, but it's stuck in activating state, and it stays that way for a good couple of minutes.

hayden ~ $ systemctl --user status mpd-mpris.service

Sorry for getting back to you so late, but it's hard to tell what's going on with quite little information. Perhaps

• try running mpd-mpris on its own?
• provide me with some info (which mpd version are you on? which OS?)
