Spotify won't open on Linux Mint

Hi all,

Spotify won't open since yesterday: clicking on Spotify but no response. Already tried un- and reinstalling and rebooting. The browser app doesn't work as well which means I can log in, see my playlists and songs but can't play any. Using Brave.

Spotify on my Google Pixel 9a and GrapheneOS runs flawlessly.

Never had such an issue before. Anyone having the same problem? Could you please help?

Thanks in advance. 🙂

Kind regards

I have the same problem. Spotify opens to black / blank screen. Tried removing and reinstalling, but no luck.
