Spotifyd and spotifyd.service

[obelix1502]

Hello guys,

Something I don’t understand: I’ve installed spotifyd which is in community repository.
The files are:

/usr/bin/spotifyd
/usr/lib/systemd/user/spotifyd.service

With the terminal when I launch spotifyd: nothing happen.
When I want launch it by systemctl:

sudo systemctl start spotifyd.service

The answer is:

Failed to start spotifyd.service: Unit spotifyd.service not found.

On github, there is no explanation. How can I use this?

Thanks for helping

sudo systemctl start spotifyd.service

systemctl doesnt need sudo … and

@obelix1502

/usr/lib/systemd/user/spotifyd.service

Looks like you should use it as a user unit … ie:

systemctl --user start spotifyd
