Spotify doesn't start in Ubuntu Gnome 15.04

Solved!

Spotify doesn't start in Ubuntu Gnome 15.04

Hello, 

 

Just as the title says, doesn't even show anything, this only happened after I upgraded from 14.10 to 15.04, I tried to reinstall but it still doesn't work.

Just a wild guess here maybe a lib issue, what does the terminal output say when you try to load the app?

this is what it showed, I didn't try this before TBH.

 

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