Some NixOS users discovered the same issues and found out that spotify does not crash when you start it without a network connection or with two network connections: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/39208

But if you have exactly one network connection spotify crashes with this

set_option: Cannot assign requested address

message.

This issue is probably a duplicate of https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Linux/1-0-77-core-dumps/m-p/4451694.

I have created a basic workaround for this issue which involves wrapping the failing system call and ignoring the results of the call to make spotify happy:

Installation instructions are at the top of the GIST

You saved my day! Your workaround works perfectly. Thanks a lot!

Same problem as:

https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Linux/1-0-77-core-dumps/m-p/4463033/highlight/true#M16352

Possibly fixed in 1.0.79.

I can confirm that the bug is fixed in Spotify 1.0.79 distributed in Debian testing running on Ubuntu 18.04.

I hope to see Spotify 1.0.79 in Debian stable soon.
