Linux: Spotify crashes after login

kolAflash — Sat, 31 Dec 2016 19:24:32 GMT

Could you please fix this.

https://forum.manjaro.org/t/spotify-crashes-after-login/14246

> it crashes when I try to log me.

Just experienced exactly that same issue, running openSUSE Linux 42.2 and
spotify-client_1.0.45.186.g3b5036d6-95_amd64.deb

This workaround helped:
> Install spotify-legacy (0.9.x) first, log in then install spotify (1.x).

Using: spotify-client-0.9.17_0.9.17.8.gd06432d.31-1_amd64.deb

Using libgcrypt11 from here:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/awissu/openSUSE_Leap_42.2/x86_64/libgcrypt11-1.5.4-2.10.x86_64.rpm

Should be easily reproduceable with any openSUSE 42.2 system.

It just cost me over 2 hours to figure that out.
Annoying!

Very likely the same crash that is mentioned in this thread.

If it's allowed, I could post the 1.0.44.100 deb file. This could help others, because the old version is not available in the repository. May I?

The 1.0.44.100 deb is still available in the stable channel.

Ah, thanks! I got the wrong channel (testing)...

Should be fixed now with 1.0.47 in testing.

Same error from Spotify 1.0.77.338.g758ebd78-41 installed with Snap on 4-23-2018.

See attached, forum would not let me post the error.

The problem in 1.0.77 is different from the one in 1.0.44 which is what this thread was about.

It has been reported here:

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

Possibly fixed in 1.0.79.
