I had installed Spotify from multiple sources, but each one of them existed alone. The sudo apt install didn't work, so I am trying the flatpak method.

I have the pref files in both the locations, but I am unable to set both of them.

solar fiber
#

what source are you currently using

#

just try both see what one works

chrome eagle
#

I did say Flatpak?

solar fiber
#

prefs prob left over from the other install

chrome eagle
#

which one is the right one

solar fiber
#

try both

#

one should error and do nothing

#

the other should work

chrome eagle
#

and even if there is a right one, I am unable to set any of them

solar fiber
#

then delete the directory of the one that doesnt

chrome eagle
#

Both are giving an error

solar fiber
#

"i am unable to set both of them" could mean many things

#

I think I should try changing the pref variable in the config file?

solar fiber
#

that is what the faq tells you to do

#

and what the install guide tells you to

#

set prefs = to one of the two paths and reapply

chrome eagle
#

I meant that I'll try through GUI

solar fiber
#

if you get an error still try the other

chrome eagle
#

Getting this error always

solar fiber
#

did you even read the install guide lol

chrome eagle
#

always= multiple times

solar fiber
#

flatpak requires alot more setup

chrome eagle
solar fiber
#

including the setting of both prefs and spotify paths manually

chrome eagle
#

I did set the spotify path manually

solar fiber
#

that path clearly doesnt exist lol

chrome eagle
#

and now trying to set the pref path, but the spotify path seems to be wrong

chrome eagle
#

Existing on spot

solar fiber
#

so you see how your paths like

#

dont line up

#

AT ALL

#

the path you put it as needs to contain these files

#

im not trying to sound too harsh but like im just regurgitating the install guide lol

#

if you read it slowly you'll see your problem

chrome eagle
#

Took a lot of time, but finally it'

#

*it's done

#

😄

#

Should I let this ticket be?

#

or delete/close it somehow?

solar fiber
#

it shall close on its own

#

glad you fixed it
