spotifyd panics `Couldn't initialize logger`

I have recently tried setting up spotifyd for spotify-tui. When I go to activate the daemon via "spotifyd" cmd, it errors with this:

thread 'main' panicked at 'Couldn't initialize logger: Error(Initialization, State { next_error: Some(Error(Io(Os { code: 2, kind: NotFound, message: "No such file or directory" }), State { next_error: None, backtrace: None })), backtrace: None })', src/main.rs:39:51
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

I have not been able to find a solution.

NOTE: This is my first week using linux, etc. I have tried doing my research before making this post.

Any help is much appreciated.

spotifyd and services have already been added to Universe repo, please use those by adding to your /etc/pacman.conf the following lines:

Code: [Select]
[universe]

https://universe.artixlinux.org/$arch

How does this help?

I simply just downloaded it from another repo?

I still get this error.

thread 'main' panicked at 'Couldn't initialize logger: Error(Initialization, State { next_error: Some(Error(Io(Os { code: 2, kind: NotFound, message: "No such file or directory" }), State { next_error: None, backtrace: None })), backtrace: None })', src/main.rs:38:51

Use in bash "export RUST_BACKTRACE=1"

Installation from another repo has references and services for systemd, not for our init systems

So, the case differs for daemon activation per init (below is Runit).

I cannot run spotifyd, how does trying to activate it help?

I also cannot locate the service? Do I need to create it manually?

Once again, I get the error:

thread 'main' panicked at 'Couldn't initialize logger: Error(Initialization, State { next_error: Some(Error(Io(Os { code: 2, kind: NotFound, message: "No such file or directory" }), State { next_error: None, backtrace: None })), backtrace: None })', src/main.rs:38:51
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

I don't understand how trying to activate the daemon will help, when i cannot do it via cmd?

You have not yet described how you run spotifyd daemon

The daemon command line is shown above:
Code: [Select]
spotifyd -b pulseaudio --no-daemon

This is been executed as a service, if you install spotifyd and sporifyd-<init> service from universe.

<init> : openrc or runit or s6

After that, just enable the service as per our wiki for your init.

Do so, so to have a common base.

I cannot run:

spotifyd -b pulseaudio --no-daemon

It errors with the error shown above ^

^ therefore install our packages from Universe, we did not build them for fun

On runit with rsm:

I have already done this, yet the same occurs.

I'm not sure what you expect to happen?

send the output of service spotifyd, is it up?

Re: spotifyd panics `Couldn't initialize logger`

It is not in: 'sudo rsm'.

But that's cause the startup, run won't work? Is it not?

If the exec for run doesn't work manually.

if you use runit and you have rsm installed, use

Code: [Select]
sudo rsm enable spotifyd
sudo rsm start spotifyd
sudo rsm status spotifyd

The service is down, when I try to start it, it says:

~ ⬢  sudo rsm start spotifyd
[rsm] Running sv command (SVDIR=/run/runit/service/ sv start spotifyd):
timeout: down: spotifyd: 1s, normally up, want up
[rsm] [sv start spotifyd], exit code: 1
