Linux users: important update

[meahtenoha]

Hello Linux users,

We have an important update for you all that is effective as of today.

You might get some warnings when running Spotify. To fix this problem, you'll need to run the following command:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys D2C19886

For further instructions, see our Linux installation page:

https://www.spotify.com/download/linux/

In the future, this will not be a problem for Linux users. Thanks everyone!

To All:

be careful - for now - the user has only 2 posts

there's no link to the old posting

no checksum to compare

...

the software is not hosted from a spotify website, so anything could happen 😞

Sorry, you're right. I don't know how to link to a post, but I found it by searching in the forum. That's the only link to a 32 bit download I can find. I did install it myself, with no problems.

Hi,

I've imported the new key and apt-get update works fine now.

Version 1.0.x is nowhere to be found though.  I can only see version 0.9.17 which is the one already installed of course.

How do I install version 1.0.x please?

[Erkan_Yılmaz]

@Stormlord_44 I assume you are running 32bit?
Then, see my response from page 1 (2 weeks ago):

For the new 1.0.x desktop app:
you have to wait until @nikreiman and colleagues are finished testing,
I remember a thread where they said it was "ready", but needs more internal testing

[Stormlord_44]

I'm talking about the 64-bit version.  Nevertheless, thank you for the response.  🙂

I updated my Spotify client from the repository a few days ago and now I have a strange mint green Spotify logo and colours within Spotify itself. I'm running Linux Mint 17.1.

Seriously people? 32-bit is dead. Upgrade your computers to 64-bit already.

That's normal. Spotify updated the icon & colors in the 1.0.9 update, and quite frankly i like the new color a lot.

Great -- Who is going to buy me the 64 bit hardware?

[actionless]

the same person who will return DBus support back -- just deal with the fact what spotify app became **bleep**ty

[user-removed]

In ubuntu 15.04 is impossible to do that. please fix it

I'm on Debian Jessie x64 and I can't see the new package version.

I've imported the new key and the package list is updated.

Where's the problem?

root@debian:~# apt-cache search spotify-client
spotify-client - Spotify desktop client
spotify-client-0.9.17 - Spotify desktop client
spotify-client-gnome-support - Transitional package for spotify-client
spotify-client-qt - Transitional package for spotify-client

root@debian:~# uname -a
Linux debian 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt11-1 (2015-05-24) x86_64 GNU/Linux

root@debian:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list | grep spotify
deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free

[BoehmeDR]

Try the "testing" repository, maybe.

[gramps74]

The 32-bit version is still at the link previosly published. I got it installed. It wasn't pretty, and it wasn't neat. In fact it was a plate of spaghetti! But it has all my stuff, and I get sound in my headphones, so all is right with the world. For now.

But as someone else said, if anything happens like this again, I will probably just goto a different provider.

[soundaim]

that command doesn't work ??

[kamelot_sk]

0.9.17 is currently (today) the latest version in the stable repository, see: http://repository.spotify.com/dists/stable/non-free/binary-amd64/Packages

If you would like to try 1.0.x right now, change repository in

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list

 to 

http://repository.spotify.com testing non-free

[gramps74]

This is only 64-bit, right?

[darioef]

This worked (x64):

# wget http://repository-origin.spotify.com/pool/non-free/s/spotify-client/spotify-client_1.0.9.133.gcedaee38_amd64.deb
# dpkg -i spotify-client_1.0.9.133.gcedaee38_amd64.deb

[user-removed]

I have x32

This is not the first time this has happened. Why are you changing the key?
