Spotify Flatpack

#1 Post by torxxl »

Sorry I don't speak English and this message is translated with deepl
Hello,
I installed Spotify (Flatpak) and when I launch it. I get a window with a login button
Usually on other distributions it opens a browser to connect to my Spotify account.
However, nothing happens here and I don't know how to work

Bonjour,
J'ai installé Spotify (Flatpak) et quand je le lance. J'ai une fenêtre avec un bouton login
Habituellement sur d'autres distributions cela m'ouvre un navigateur pour me connecter à mon compte Spotify
Cependant, là rien ne se passe et j'ignore comment contourner ou résoudre le problème.
Merci par avance

hello, I don't know how to help you with the problem with the flatpak version, however the version that can be installed from the first tab of the MX package installer works fine and behaves as you described

We are going to need your computer’s complete profile before we can proceed, so you need to post the output from the QSI utility. The Quick System Info (QSI) utility is located in MX Tools and its output is automatically formatted for use here in the forum. Run the QSI utility, click “Copy for Forum” at the bottom and then just paste it here in your thread.

In Linux, newer isn't always better. The best solution is the one that works.

Hi.

There are some Open Source Spotify Clients on Flathub. Try these;

1) https://flathub.org/apps/com.github.KRTirtho.Spotube

Just FYI - not all of these may be "spotify clients" as at least one uses youtube as it's music source.
Cheers

I can not answer your specific question.
And maybe you want Spotify as a flatpak, but Spotify should be available in MXPI→ Popular App – Audio
and it should also show as "spotify-client" in the Enabled tab, and probably in Synaptic too – at least it does in MX-21.3 Xfce.
I'd use it before installing a flatpak – again, unless you want a flatpak for some reason.
