[SOLVED] spotify nor spotify-launcher start on my system?

cluac · 2023-08-01 13:49:45

My current system is Arch(wayland) + Hyprland and when I first installed arch spotify opened and worked fine, however I had to wipe and reinstall due some slightly shady edits to my fstab...

Anyways, spotify no longer opens on my system. I have tried the Spotify and Spotify Launcher packages as well as cloning and building the normal spotify package in a clean chroot.

Launching either of the packages through the command-line gives this:

spotify: /usr/lib/libcurl-gnutls.so.4: no version information available (required by spotify)
/opt/spotify/spotify: /usr/lib/libcurl-gnutls.so.4: no version information available (required by /opt/spotify/spotify)
/opt/spotify/spotify: /usr/lib/libcurl-gnutls.so.4: no version information available (required by /opt/spotify/spotify)

Which the internet says is just a warning and should launch anyway.
I have tried launching with

spotify --no-zygote

, deleting /opt/Spotify, deleting ~/.cache/spotify, deleting ~/.config/spotify (and both folders' counterparts in Spotify-Launcher) and restarting obviously.

Spotify still won't start up for me though so would appreciate any help.

xorg-xwayland installed?

cluac · 2023-08-02 08:46:18

Yep on both my laptop and PC (both run the same setup and dotfiles, excluding Spotify because I clean installed that on both) and Spotify launches on neither.

How are you starting hyprland? Output of

printenv
loginctl session-status

Do other electron applications/chromium start?

and loginctl session-status is here: http://ix.io/4Cf6
I use ly to login which starts directly into hyprland, I have no other DEs.
Other electron apps such as discord and element launch perfectly fine.

p.s. sorry for the late response

I don't think it's related, but your PATH is really, really screwed up. Two different home dirs, /sbin and /bin before /usr/local/{bin,sbin}, etc. What in the world are you doing there?

Skip ly, it breaks the logind session.

Ok I just deleted the Hyprland.desktop file in /usr/share/wayland-sessions/ which I assume was there from Ly and replaced it with the example one from the Hyprland repo (basically just "exec=Hyprland") and also removed Ly, are there any other remnant files to change before rebooting?

Yep, I need to get to that lol. A mix of copying path from my old system (/usr, /home and the rest of / were all on different drives), the rice I used and just bad PATH practices.

seth · 2023-08-03 15:04:36

You don't have to remove anything, just disable ly or boot the multi-user.target, login there and run Hyprland.

Ah ok, thanks that worked thank you so much!
