can you check that path with ls -l

phoenix277yt commented 3 years ago

@khanhas it is indeed there. The stations.spa file even has read and write for all 3 groups. image also when I use sudo to run "spicetify backup apply" this happens - image even though - image and yeah, just to check in the config, It IS the same path - image

  1. Don't use sudo with any of spicetify command.
  2. Make prefs_path a absolute path.
  3. Try these commands: 
    sudo chmod a+wr /var/lib/flatpak/app/com.spotify.Client/x86_64/stable/active/files/extra/share/spotify
sudo chmod a+wr -R /var/lib/flatpak/app/com.spotify.Client/x86_64/stable/active/files/extra/share/spotify/Apps

step 3 didn't do so much, but the second step fixed it :D thank you @khanhas
