this should be the output of
Code: [Select]
 sudo rsm status spotifyd


Was spotifyd also installed, from Universe?

Is pulseaudio available and running, on your installation?

My output was:

I installed spotifyd via pacman, and the only repo that has it is universe.
I do have pulseaudio.

Is pulseaudio running?

spotifyd needs also dbus, is it available?

I have dbus, and when I try to activate pulseaudio's daemon, it says it is already running.

very strange, reboot the machine and check again

Re: spotifyd panics `Couldn't initialize logger`

Mm, it still does the same thing.

Quite confusing.

I haven't been able to find any solutions around the web either, not sure what to make of it.

there is something wrong with your installation (not of spotifyd)

Re: spotifyd panics `Couldn't initialize logger`

I have done fresh reinstalls of artix 4 times now.

followed the guide, etc.

I can make a fresh, and reinstall again? I have backups on git.

how did you install it? base?

Re: spotifyd panics `Couldn't initialize logger`

Reply #25 –
yes, base runit.

I basically only have a tiling manager, and a few other minor packages installed.

I've followed the guide, besides the DE parts, etc.

maybe you missed a point there, or something.

I would suggest you to try a Weekly Desktop ISO installation, instead of base, cause I cannot figure out what it may be missing.

It errors at '38:51'. Which is about logging, etc.

I don't know if I have someone done something to some form of logging?

This is the error I am getting.

I will check into what you said.

yep, this is the error, but in your case, spotifyd does not even start

therefore, how the logger will be triggered?

I solved my problem.

It was the silliest thing.

I just installed syslog-ng, and it all worked after that.

Appreciate your time linuxer, have a good one!
