I got this after running

sudo spicetify backup apply on my terminal (on Linux) the prefs path is correct though, I've checked. The file is there and it should be working.

What is exactly the problem here?

Hey! so i guess the issue might be caused because of running the command as sudo, since spotify might not be installed for the sudo but instead for the specific user, so running it as sudo might not work. But if you dont run it as sudo you might be getting a different error. The simple solution is:

sudo chmod -R 777 /opt/spotify

Hope this might work!
