I try to play a sound from a service on Ubuntu:
tim@timpc:~$ uname -a Linux timpc 5.4.0-91-generic #102-Ubuntu SMP Fri
Nov 5 16:31:28 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Here is the service definition:
tim@timpc:~$ cat /etc/systemd/system/alarmd.service
# Datei /etc/systemd/system/alarmd.service
[Unit]
Description=alarmd service
Wants=sound.target
After=sound.target
[Service]
Type=oneshot
Environment="DISPLAY=:0"
User=tim
;ExecStart=/home/tim/Dokumente/super/alarmd/build/release/dist/alarmd --sound /usr/local/share/alarmd/a.wav
ExecStart=mplayer /usr/local/share/alarmd/a.wav
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
I start the service like this:
sudo systemctl start alarmd.service
...and get this output:
tim@timpc:~$ journalctl -S today -u alarmd.service

How should I define the service so that the sound is played?
The command itself works:
