Description

I am using Linux OTM 5.19.2-artix1-2 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sun, 21 Aug 2022 10:48:27 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux from base and when I configured spotifyd, it showed the following error: thread 'main' panicked at 'Couldn't initialize logger: Error(Initialization, State { next_error: Some(Error(Io(Os { code: 2, kind: NotFound, message: "No such file or directory" }), State { next_error: None, backtrace: None })), backtrace: None })', src/main.rs:39:51 note: run with RUST_BACKTRACE=1 environment variable to display a backtrace

Versions (please complete the following information):

• OS:
• Spotifyd: spotifyd-full-git 0.2.17.7.g8a82bec-1 & spotifyd 0.3.3-1
• cargo: 1.63.0

Additional context I think it'd be nice if a more specific error was written. I looked up the line of code where the problem was and I figured out it was because I didn't have syslog-ng installed. Since I tested both programs on the latest Artix Linux with Runit, here are the steps I made in order to solve this problem: sudo pacman -Syu syslog-ng syslog-ng-runit sudo ln -s /etc/runit/sv/syslog-ng /etc/runit/runsvdir/default sudo sv start syslog-ng

Once done that, I was able to launch spotifyd without further issues.
