Spotify app and Ubuntu 15.04

[rzelnik]

After upgrade to Ubuntu 15.04 I can't start spotify app. I get this error message:

$ spotify
spotify: error while loading shared libraries: libgcrypt.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I gave bad advice here (apologies for that), it seems that installing the older version of libgcrypt involves security issues. See this thread: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Help-Desktop-Linux-Windows-Web/spotify-error-while-loading-shared-l... which also gives other and better solutions.

if you have intel architecture, use download link here

http://packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/i386/libgcrypt11/download

[Grant_Curell]

This solution is still correct, but the link has changed. It is now:

wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/83003544/libgcrypt11_1.5.0-3_amd64.deb

(Assuming you're 64 bit)

Best way here

http://ubunlog.com/libgcrypt11-hace-que-spotify-y-brackets-no-funcionen-en-ubuntu-15-04/

or direct download and install this librari here

Works on Ubuntu Studio 15.10

sudo dpkg -i spotify-client_1.0.17.75.g8f111100_amd64.deb

Download from http://repository-origin.spotify.com/pool/non-free/s/spotify-client/

Thanks MarcosC for pointing me there.

For 64 bit

To fix "spotify: error while loading shared libraries: libgcrypt.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

Type/paste the following in terminal one line at a time, hitting enter key after each entry:

wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/83003544/libgcrypt11_1.5.0-3_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i libgcrypt11_1.5.4-2ubuntu1.1_amd64.deb

spotify

Note. Verified working on Ubuntu Mate 15.10 Wily and Ubuntu Mate 16.04 Xenial Alpha 1

For Ubuntu 15.10 works too.

Thanks.

Installing old security libraries (libgcrypt.so.11) is not recommended. This version runs fine with Ubuntu 15-10: http://repository-origin.spotify.com/pool/non-free/s/spotify-client/
