Hello,
I've just installed Spotify on my laptop Kali-Linux (Debian) by following the instructions on the Spotify website.
The installation went well but Spotify doesn't launch... I don't know if it's a problem linked to missing dependencies or something like that but I cant' make it work even if the software appears in Applications > Sound and Video > Spotify.
Has anyone aver tried to install Spotify on Kali Linux? Or has anayone ever had a problem like mine?
I'm sorry for my english, I'm french.
Thank you very much,
Paul

I have the same issue, and as I saw that no further information had been submitted, I thought I might help...
Running Spotify from the desktop - nothing happens. Running it from the terminal yields the following messsages:
spotify: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by spotify)
spotify: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /opt/spotify/spotify-client/Data/libcef.so)
spotify: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by /opt/spotify/spotify-client/Data/libcef.so)
I tried to find how to get those libraries, but it did not seem at all trivial. I am fairly fresh in the Linux camp though, so it might seem harder than it is 😉
Cheers.
