Can not logout on linux distributions

[pdT21]

I was able to install spotify on Lubuntu following the website instructions and to log in but I can’t use the menu in right corner, e.g. I can’t log out or change the settings

Had the same issue on both Kubuntu 17.10 (64 bit) and Lubuntu 16.0.4.2 (32 bit.) I installed Spotify using the Debian repository, and managed to fix the issue by doing so:

sudo apt purge spotify-client

sudo rm -rf /.config/spotify

sudo rm -rf /.cache/spotify

sudo apt update

sudo apt install spotify-client

*note: files might be located somewhere else depending on how you installed Spotify- if such is your case, you can "sudo find -name spotify*" to look for any troublesome remanants and purge them prior to reinstalling the Spotify client.

Hope this helps, have a good day reader!

The idea is good, but the paths you posted aren't quite correct. There's a tilde missing at the start (i.e. it should be ~/.{cache,config}/spotify/ instead of /.{cache,config}/spotify/).

It seems that rm ~/.config/spotify/prefs is all one needs to get logged out.

Let's hope that Spotify fixes those issues soon, since these workarounds aren't exactly ideal...
