Can not login on flatpak wayland

[joesen]

Edit: Nevermind, had to activate the wayland permissions on the flatpak spotify app (did it via flatseal)

Original:

Plan

Premium

Operating System

Arch Linux 6.2.13

sway version 1.8.1

Flatpak 1.15.4

My Question or Issue

Is Wayland not supported or do I have another error? I can't see through that.

When i open spotify flatpak it says my credentials are not found (though I can login with these in the browser).

Then there Is the login button in the spotify flatpak app which doesn't open my browser.

How can I open the browser to login or pass the credentials?

I tried:

flatpak run com.spotify.Client --username=deviceusername --password=regularspotifypassword --show-console

thanks for any help

can't find browserlogin error, can't open browser

For me this solution does not work, as my password has special symbols in it (also spaces).

So... I was hitting the same issue with regards of the impossibility of opening the browser.

First, the diagnosis step is to try opening a URL from the flatpak sandbox, so that you can look at the error:

$ flatpak run --command=xdg-open com.spotify.Client https://www.google.com
Failed to call portal: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such interface ?org.freedesktop.portal.OpenURI? on object at path /org/freedesktop/portal/desktop

In my case: flatpak is missing the particular portal to open URLs. If that's your case:

1) make sure that xdg-desktop-portal, xdg-desktop-portal-wlr (for wayland desktops such as sway) and xdg-desktop-portal-gtk (as fallback for what's not implemented by wlr, which is the case for OpenURI)

2) make sure that xdg-desktop-portal is started with the correct environment variables so that it enables wlr.

see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Desktop_Portal#xdg-desktop-portal-wlr_does_not_start_automatica...

3) if you are using xdg-desktop-portal >= 1.17, the implicit fallback was disabled, and you need to manually configure that. See https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/issues/1077#issuecomment-1715896552

🙂 hopefully this message may prevent a few hours of debugging as I did
