My Question or Issue

Every time I start/open the Spotify Linux app I get the following message:

"Spotify killed by SIGABRT"

The application does however open and can be used as intended.

The log says:

--- Running report_uReport ---

I think I worked around this with information from other threads.

sudo vim /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications/com.spotify.Client.desktop
on exec line go to end append

-no-zygote

Wait a bit for gnome to pick up the .desktop file changed, then check to make sure you have a bwrap command with the argument in it.

ps aux | grep -i spot | grep -i zy

/usr/bin/bwrap --args 41 -- spotify -no-zygote

Thank you very much. I will look into this but frankly I am not so proficient in messing around with stuff like this in the terminal. Perhaps one of my linux colleagues at work can help me out (working at software company).

I would be nice if Spotify could rectify this problem. On my Fedora laptop I have only two applications that generate problem reporting and that is Spotify and Zoom.

Happening to me on Fedora 42.

You could try to build it yourself via lpf: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/installing-spotify/. It seems that the flatpack version has some serious errors as ive encountered them myself. So it is up for spotify devs to fix it. Here are some logs for you guys:

Would be nice if spotify figures out where they cause an buffer overflow
