New issue by harrisonthorne on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/25587

Description:
<!-- Don't request update of package. We have a script for that. https://alpha.de.repo.voidlinux.org/void-updates/void-updates.txt . However, a quality pull request may help. -->
### System

* xuname:  
  `Void 5.8.13_1 x86_64 AuthenticAMD uptodate rrrmFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF`
* package:  
`spotify-1.1.26_2`

### Expected behavior

On my previous install with Arch Linux, I was able to control Spotify playback with `playerctl`. I'm using awesomewm with keybinds to control audio playback, with commands such as `playerctl play-pause`. These commands work for other MPRIS players like Firefox and MPV with the mpv-mpris plugin.

### Actual behavior

`playerctl` doesn't work with Spotify, and playback information doesn't show up in my [muse-status](https://github.com/harrisonthorne/muse-status) bar either.

### Steps to reproduce the behavior

Bonus issue: Currently it seems that spotify-1.1.26_***1*** is unable to be installed correctly/completely from the official nonfree repository:

```
~/D/void-packages $ sudo xbps-install spotify

Name    Action    Version           New version            Download size
spotify install   -                 1.1.26_1               - 

Size required on disk:          229B
Space available on disk:      6123MB

Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

Failed downloading spotify client
ERROR: spotify-1.1.26_1: [configure] INSTALL script failed to execute the post ACTION: Operation not permitted
Transaction failed! see above for errors.
``` 

So I am using the spotify package from my local repository.

1. Install spotify from a local void-packages repository
2. Make sure `playerctl` is installed too
3. Play a song on Spotify and try to toggle playback with `playerctl play-pause`

Here's an extra little bit of information:

```
~/D/void-packages $ dbus-send --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.PlayPause
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify was not provided by any .service files
```

Center of attention is the last line; this `G_IS_DBUS_CONNECTION` assertion failure line is repeated a few times every time the playback status of Spotify changes.

Comment:
I had issues like this for a while on void linux. I've found that if you're using elogind, you do not want it started as a system service. Rather, you'll want to install elogind-dbus replacing the traditional dbus package. After that's installed, when dbus starts as a system service, it will start elogind automatically without needing a service. Check htop or a similar program to make sure elogind is actually running too. Read more here in the [Void Documentation](https://docs.voidlinux.org/config/session-management.html?highlight=elogin). Hope this helps!

Comment:
This seems to be an issue with how dbus is set up with my AwesomeWM setup. Spotify works correctly with Plasma.

I noticed that Spotify wasn't showing notifications when playing a new song with AwesomeWM AND Slack wasn't showing notifications for new messages. But all of these work with Plasma.

Finna close this issue and I'll figure out how to get dbus working with awesomewm. I expected it to work just by running awesome from SDDM but I guess it doesn't lol

### System

* xuname:

Looking at the xsession file for awesomewm, I'm wondering if we should change

1. `Exec` to `dbus-launch --exit-with-session awesome`
2. `Type` to XSession

Comment:
> dbus-launch --exit-with-session awesome

You can't do this unless you make awesomewm depend on `dbus`, which I believe it doesn't. (And it should be `dbus-run-session`, not `dbus-launch --exit-with-session`.)

I believe systemd distros deal with this by having systemd handle thinigs, but this doesn't happen here.

Well, turns out it does depend, so it can probably be changed. Idk if this would break how other people are doing their dbus setup, tho.

So that ended up working? Didn't realize using pulse required one to start their WM with dbus.
So instead of ```exec awesome``` in .xinitrc we should ```exec dbus-launch --exitwith-session awesome```?
