Spotify doesn't launch

[SneznyKocur]

I'm running arch with plasma X11 or hyprland (this happens on both) When i run spotify-launcher -v it returns:

but nothing happens after and it just closes I also tried spotify from the AUR where the same thing happens I ran spotify --show-console --debug-level [0-8] (i tried all of the levels) and it returns nothing and doesn't open

For Hyperland there's documented solutions in the issue tracker, see e.g. #48

But the same happens on plasma x11 so wayland is not the issue

It's kind of on you to provide an desktop environment the spotify binary can run on, it seems the launcher itself has worked for you but please do post the solution if you figure out what the problem was.

It has worked in the past farly recently but after a restart it does not launch anymore (in the same environment)

Do you have a polkit authentication agent running? For me the issue is that the launcher doesn't use my agent on hyprland, but it works in kde plasma wayland.

I confirmed that the issue was caused by spotify not spotify-launcher. I got these weird dbus errors:

(spotify:18164): libayatana-appindicator-WARNING **: 23:16:18.458: Unable to get the session bus: Unknown or unsupported transport “disabled” for address “disabled:”

(spotify:18164): LIBDBUSMENU-GLIB-WARNING **: 23:16:18.458: Unable to get session bus: Unknown or unsupported transport “disabled” for address “disabled:”

It turns out it was caused by this configuration line which launched supposedly dbus: exec-once = dbus-update-activation-environment --systemd WAYLAND_DISPLAY XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP This line was suggested by the wiki, but it is bad. My solution was to edit /usr/share/wayland-sessions/hyprland.desktop Exec line like: Exec=dbus-run-session Hyprland After this my problem disappeared.
