Spotify app is not opening #65

Open nathan-lamy opened 7 months ago

nathan-lamy commented 7 months ago

Hi !

I've installed spotify but after a few reboots it won't work anymore... I had the same issue with the Flatpak version and this is why I switched.

I think this issue will be lacking some logs/reproducibility, don't hesitate to ask if you need anything more!

Quick list of what I tried :

uninstalling/reinstalling
deleting config
using Flatpak version again (not opening too)
searching on internet for similar issues

Logs of the issues :

rakox@localhost:~> spotify
spotify: /lib64/libcurl-gnutls.so.4: no version information available (required by spotify)
/usr/share/spotify/spotify: /lib64/libcurl-gnutls.so.4: no version information available (required by /usr/share/spotify/spotify)
/usr/share/spotify/spotify: /lib64/libcurl-gnutls.so.4: no version information available (required by /usr/share/spotify/spotify)

Nothing more in journalctl neither...

Thank you in advance :))

Hi, I found this solution, initialize the window manager using dbus-run-session, for example I use Xorg: dbus-run-session startx. I hope it will be useful for you

nathan-lamy commented 7 months ago

Thank you for your reply ! I don't know how to start it properly, it won't work using dbus...

> dbus-run-session startplasma-x11
Plasma seems to be already running on this display.

I did some research and you might find this solution useful: First in your DE press CTRL + ALT + F3 and opened tty then killall plasmashell && killall kwin_x11 and then dbus-run-session startplasma-x11.

I don't know much about plasma

nathan-lamy commented 7 months ago

Nope :( CTRL + ALT + F3 just turns my entire screen black And killall plasmashell && killall kwin_x11, kill my desktop so that behind the opened windows everything is black... If I try to start plasma in dbus, I get the exact same error message...

And when I try to open Spotify, the taskbar shows a loading icon for like a few seconds and just stops, without any window opening :(

vfred0 commented 7 months ago

Try with CTRL+ALT+F2. It looks something like this:

I hope you get the tty this time, bro

nathan-lamy commented 7 months ago

That was not working neither... only F2 was resuming to my desktop I switched to Gnome (X11) and get it working!
