Hello,
since today I get this error when sarting spotify:
$ spotify
Gtk-Message: 22:00:27.553: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
Gtk-Message: 22:00:27.553: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)
Any Ideas? It is strange that it happened out of nothing - it worked before!
That's just a warning it can be ignored.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Libcanberra
Then install the package mentioned in the wiki...
It is obviously a bug in Spotify because I have libcanberra installed and gtk, yet it complains. Also this happened after I did an update on the system.
Yep, just add to the long list of bugs...
I have a similar problem on fedora 32 running the snap from user:
WARNING: cgroup v2 is not fully supported yet, proceeding with partial confinement
Warning: GTK2 does not support Wayland!
Gtk-Message: 15:36:24.686: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
Gtk-Message: 15:36:24.686: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module"
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)
And from superuser:
2020/05/31 15:41:19.485743 cmd_run.go:893: WARNING: cannot start document portal: read unix @->/run/user/1000/bus: read: connection reset by peer

(spotify:24838): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 15:41:22.749: g_dbus_connection_send_message: assertion 'G_IS_DBUS_CONNECTION (connection)' failed
It loops the last bit until I kill the process. It used to work.
After some tinkering, it appears the snap uses GTK+2, which is not fully compatible with wayland. This seems to be the source of my problem. I think we need spotify to rebuild it for GTK+3.
I've been facing similar problem lately with the snap package. Try installing it using Debian package if it's an option that you can consider.
installing libcanberra-gstreamer seems to work (from wiki)
I found two solutions for those who can't get the snaps to work on a machine that uses rpms. First, it is possible to find the debian package at http://repository.spotify.com/pool/non-free/s/spotify-client/ . After installing, use alien to convert it to an rpm. Then do a yum localinstall. It will probably not work immediately, and will give a number of dependencies that you will need. Find the deb packages for the dependencies and convert them to rpms and localinstall. It should work if you get all the dependencies.
The other way is to install a repo that has done this for you. Just run
dnf -y install https://github.com/UnitedRPMs/unitedrpms/releases/download/17/unitedrpms-$(rpm -E %fedora)-17.fc$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
then
dnf install spotify-client
I recommend this second method, because spotify will auto-update from the repo when you run,
yum update
whereas if you use the other method, you will have to reconvert the deb packages to rpms when your packages become too old.
Don't give administrative rights, especially to closed source applications!!
