Spotify binary frequently crashing and dumping core (Ubuntu binary + Snap)

wschlich — Sun, 12 Jan 2025 11:22:48 GMT

Hi!

The spotify binary frequently dumps core on my Gentoo Linux laptop (x86_64, glibc-2.40, kernel 6.1.119).

It seems to only affect some child process, as Spotify itself (main window) keeps running and playing music.

Spotify binary (1.2.48, see https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/media-sound/spotify) from Ubuntu repo crashing:

I'm having the exact same issue on Arch with the spotify-launcher package. Spotify runs just fine and nothing seems untoward, but upon checking my coredump history for other reasons I found it littered with coredumps from Spotify as far back as my records go (beginning of August). Every day that I use Spotify it will create about 5-10 coredumps. Every one is caused by a SIGABRT. This has been occurring over multiple versions of Spotify at least as far back as August, including my current version 1.2.50.335.

Here's a representative log for one such coredump:

If Spotify is launched from the terminal, the following is a typical output when the coredumps occur:

Having the exact same issue on Arch. I made a larger post with logs, but it was removed for spam. I've notified a moderator, so hopefully it gets put back.

I am having the same problem on Linux Mint 22. I have Spotify version 1.2.50.335.g5e2860a8 installed from the Debian package on your Linux download page. It is crashing at least 5 times a day, often more than 10, but with no noticeable effect on playing music.

Crashes still occurring with spotify-client 1.2.50 from the spotify repo https://repository-origin.spotify.com/pool/non-free/s/spotify-client/

I'm having a similar `stack smashing` issue.

As `BBHarris` pointed out earlier in this thread, this occurs when Spotify is run from within a terminal. Additionally, as others have mentioned, this seemingly only affects child processes and does not appear to affect functionality within the app. Still, I am consistently receiving the same `*** stack smashing detected ***: terminated` error being repeatedly outputted to any terminal currently within focus.

The crash logs suggested some package issues (namely libexpat1), which I fully updated, pointing the issue elsewhere.

Ubuntu version: 24.04.01
Spotify-client version: 1:1.2.50.335.g5e2860a8
Spotify-desktop-client version: 0.9.17.8.gd06432d.31-1
Libexpat1 version: 2.6.1-2ubuntu0.2

Not a fatal issue, but no one likes issues!

When will Spotify wake up and analyse this issue? 👨‍🔧

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one encountering this in a recent version of the app. I'm happy to provide any more details or debugging assistance as this is pretty darn easy to reproduce.

Hello,
I have the same issue described on Manjaro (Arch) and MX-Linux (Debian).

Launching from terminal keeps reproducing the error over and over:

[jesuslinux@A9410 ~]$ spotify
*** stack smashing detected ***: terminated

The app behaves normal and plays music.

I came here looking for answers and fixes.

often the app launcher properly but after restarting it it begins to faulter, requiring a reboot.

Linux Mint 22.1, Spotify installed from their official repo. Few coredumps per day in syslog. Same as for Arkasha - no noticeable effect on playing music. But no one likes crashes in log...

I was also constantly having this issue. I ended up adding spotify to the abrt blacklist.

What I did was:
sudo vim /etc/abrt/abrt.conf

sudo nano /etc/abrt/abrt.conf

Add this to the end of the file:
BlackList = spotify

Then restart the abrt service:

sudo systemctl restart abrt.service

Same issue on Fedora 41 with Spotify Flatpak version 1.2.52.442

Spotify killed by SIGABRT is the error title.

Does anyone have any idea whether https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7143#c5 is an example of this issue? I'm under the impression that it's separate, but not confident. Apologies for wasting time if so.

Have you reported this to Gentoo's Bugzilla?

from

https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Linux/The-app-crashes-on-Debian-due-to-HW-acceleration/m-p/...

spotify --no-zygote

i.e. fix is a option send to chromium https://codereview.chromium.org/2384163002 and can be a chromium problem not a spotify problem

Re: Spotify binary frequently crashing and dumping core (Ubuntu binary + Snap)

BBHarris — Sun, 09 Feb 2025 22:59:44 GMT

This seems to have fixed the issue for me. Since I'm using spotify-launcher from the Arch repos, I put

extra_arguments = ["--no-zygote"]

into /etc/spotify-launcher.conf. I've not had any more coredumps in the last few days.
