Provide a aarch64 build for flathub

[spazziale]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Pain

I can't find a Spotify client for mobile linux as good as spotube ;)

Suggested solution

This would be cool for Linux phones

Unfortunately I was never able to produce an arm build for Spotube
But meanwhile, if you've a arm machine, you can build from source

[KRTirtho]

Ok so I was playing with CircleCI's linux-arm64 machines & luckily I was able to successfully produce a build
I wasn't able to test it on device. So please use it at your own risk & let me know if it works
spotube-linux-3.1.1-aarch64.zip

[KRTirtho]

Make sure these dependencies are installed

[spazziale]

I'm using postmarketos ( so musl instead of glibc)
i got this error:
./spotube: ./spotube: cannot execute binary file
Maybe we use a .flatpak to circumvent the problem

[KRTirtho]

It won't work in that case. Flutter depends on glibc

[KRTirtho]

So I testing arm version on flatpak. See if this works

flatpak install --user https://dl.flathub.org/build-repo/48466/com.github.KRTirtho.Spotube.flatpakref

[spazziale]

See if this works

spotube: error while loading shared libraries: libcatcher_plugin.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[KRTirtho]

Please do the following:

$ flatpak run --devel --command=sh com.github.KRTirtho.Spotube
$ cd /app/spotube/
$ ldd spotube

Then provide the output of the last command

[spazziale]

[KRTirtho]

Ok so the Zip messed up the folders

[KRTirtho]

This time it should work. Using the tar.xz for installation

$ flatpak install --user https://dl.flathub.org/build-repo/48962/com.github.KRTirtho.Spotube.flatpakref

[spazziale]

Now it works but it has a strange layout (uses pc layout instead of android layout). how can i fix it?

[KRTirtho]

That's super easy barely an inconvenience
Just go to "Settings" > "Layout Mode" & select "Compact"
Btw you can turn on the "Settings" > "Use system title bar" to get rid of the window buttons

Also can you share some screenshot, I want to see it so much 😄

[spazziale]

sorry for responding so late, I've been busy

everything works as planned. I can't send screenshots since I'm using gnome-shell-mobile which is alpha quality. Thank you very much! Two suggestions:

1- automatic updates should be disabled, as flatpak should handle them
2 - layout mode should be adaptive by default

As soon as you publish the arm version on flatpak ( or you start a new build with the bot ) I will send you some screenshots 😁

[Potomiho]

I saw this and couldn't resist to test that on Librem 5.

So first of all the link you provided with the build is already gone, so I built the flatpak locally on the phone with this patch basing on this.

Now to run it there were some issues with GTK3/GDK3 already partially fixed on upstream (this issue specifically) but required additional backport from GTK4. Again compiled manually and required to install all dev dependencies (GTK3 Meson submodule based build is known to not work there)

I also needed to modify flatpak Gnome SDK/Platform and copy over all files. Finally I froze them, so no modifications would go in there with unwanted updates.

If anyone would like to go the same path I can share the more detailed steps.

Anyway few screens from L5:

From issues - scrolling is quite painful (requires to 'grab' the scroll on the edge of screen - no gestures).
From good sides - playback works like a charm as probably most of other stuff.
I didn't had much time to test yet though - I just completed my journey and wanted to share it.

Anyway 10/10 would do that again.

@KRTirtho Thanks for all your work! I can finally play music in my car without doing some convoluted setups!

[KRTirtho]

Glad that it worked & congrats on getting it working 🎉
And WOW, those screenshots are looking beautiful ✨

Not sure why this much configuration was needed. Btw, there's spotube-linux-nightly-aarch64.tar.xz which should work out of the box if all required runtime packages are installed

[KRTirtho]

Steps to build the flatpak locally:

1. Git clone

   $ git clone https://github.com/KRTirtho/com.github.KRTirtho.Spotube --recursive --shallow-submodules --depth=1 --single-branch

2. Build the flatpak

   $ flatpak-builder --user --install --force-clean build com.github.KRTirtho.Spotube.yml

I tried building it but got this error:

I then installed intltool via sudo apt install intltool but now I get this error:

I tried to compile the arm64 version on the latest source code, but encountered an error and couldn't find libdiscord rpc.so. After checking, it was found that the file exists, but it is x86 library. I found the referenced project and found that the file does not have the source code. The Discord rpc project itself only provides x86 version libraries.

So what should we do? Can't we compile the arm64 version in the future

[KRTirtho]

Just remove dart_discord_rpc dependency and these lines from main.dart

1. spotube/lib/main.dart

   Line 2 in e4eb0e2

   import 'package:dart_discord_rpc/dart_discord_rpc.dart';

2. spotube/lib/main.dart

   Lines 67 to 69 in e4eb0e2

   	if (DesktopTools.platform.isWindows || DesktopTools.platform.isLinux) {
   	DiscordRPC.initialize();
   	}

[Kabouik]

If anyone would like to go the same path I can share the more detailed steps.

@Potomiho I would be very interested in installing it on Debian, which should be pretty similar to Purism. Could you please share more details on what I should do as of today (I have no knowledge with flatpak building)?

Alternatively, @KRTirtho could you put the arm64 versions back on Flathub? I saw there were links to them in the above posts, but they're now gone, which is why @Potomiho had to build the flatpak locally. But if there were builds working on your side, that'd be even better (less work for arm64 users).

[Kabouik]

Oh wait, I missed the following. I'll try that first.

Not sure why this much configuration was needed. Btw, there's spotube-linux-nightly-aarch64.tar.xz which should work out of the box if all required runtime packages are installed

[Kabouik]

Sorry for the spam, but I assume it is best to send notifications rather than making edits that no one may ever read if they already read the previous message version in their email.

So I realized there actually are aarch64 builds now in nightly builds, which is great news! However, I think there's an error as the aarch64 package is actually build as an amd64 package:

sudo dpkg -i Spotube-linux-aarch64.deb
dpkg: error processing archive Spotube-linux-aarch64.deb (--install):
 package architecture (amd64) does not match system (arm64)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 Spotube-linux-aarch64.deb

I haven't had success from the AppImage or tar.xz files either yet (need to figure out how to install Flutter SDK on aarch64; I found this but didn't manage to make anything useful out of it, I hope I can find instructions elsewhere).

[theofficialgman]

Hi are there any holdups here? Would love to have aarch64 officially supported on flatpak.
