Spotify Client not working in Linux Mint 22 (based on Ubuntu 24?)

Just a heads up, Spotify Client isn't initializing properly in Linux Mint 22.

I ran in the terminal with logging to show any messages, with the log below:

sinista@mini:~$ spotify --show-console

Process spawns many other subprocesses, but the main process doesn't respond to Ctrl-C, needs to be kill -9'd to close.

I notice there were a few updates to the repo recently, so I assume there are bugfixes going on. Just adding this log in case it's useful to the devs.

I'm on an Intel N100 with a relatively clean Mint 22 install - and all my other media/audio stuff works fine. I can still use the web page, so it's not stopping me enjoying tunes, but just reporting in case it hasn't been, or no one else provided a log. Happy to run other tests if required.

For whatever reason it's working now. Maybe I needed to reboot? I'm not sure what changed, but I clicked it out of curiosity and booyaa. Thanks for reading if anyone did. If anyone is having the same problem, try rebooting?

It seems like a Spotify bug, but maybe a new Fapello update could fix it.
