 |
|
Hello,
First time gentoo user here. Super happy with gentoo, but having some issues with dbus.
I just installed Spotify, and would like to use its api with dbus. However, this isn't quite working out. Specifically, I get the following error when I start spotify:
| Code: | | GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_dbus_connection_send_message: assertion 'G_IS_DBUS_CONNECTION (connection)' failed |
And when I try to run dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.PlayPause, it errors out and returns "Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.SErviceUnknown: the name org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify was not provided by any .service files" I've tried all three ebuilds (69, 70, 70r1), and all produce this error.
I don't have systemd (I use openrc). The first thing I thought was that maybe some dependencies are missing or perhaps pulseaudio is messing stuff up. So I double checked that dbus and glib was in my global useflags in make.conf and disabled the pulseaudio tag. However, this didn't help. I'm not sure how to proceed from here...Any advice? Maybe there's something simple I'm missing...

I don't use Spotify myself, so I can only give a couple of suggestions based on the ebuild. Have you tried to remove the cache?
| Code: | | rm -rf ~/.cache/spotify |
And do you have the package installed with USE=systray enabled? It looks like that useflag will enable a dbus script.
If neither of these suggestions help, I would advise to file a bug.

| I tried removing the cache, and I have enabled the systray flag. Neither fixes my error. Where should I submit my bug? |

For me it was resolved by enable the consolekit service and modifying the .xinitrc to use ck-launch-session to start the desktop , such as
| Code: |
exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session startkde
|
Which was also required to allow my screen to be unlocked. |
