Spotify for linux requires a re-login on every reboot.

Spotify for linux requires a re-login on every reboot.

The Spotify for Linux client on both the Debian/Ubuntu repository and Flatpak repository have the same problem. Every time the computer is restarted, you have to re-login. Marking the "remember me" element does nothing, and there is no option under the "Settings" profile page on the client to turn off this nonsense feature (?).

 

Is there a way to prevent this behaviour? forcing my session to be alive or forcing the client to get out of my way and stop deleting things I don't want it to delete?

 

I know Windows & Mac users are used to getting low-quality products and that QA should burn out devs a little more so they don't mess up customer experience.

Hello @VentGrey 

 

I am using the Snap version and it's not doing anything like that to me. There's a couple of possibilities that I can think of, that would lead to this issue.

Do you close Spotify yourself before turning off the system? In my experience Spotify ends up terminated non-gracefully, and the settings applied during that session are not saved.

Is your browser allowed to store cookies (not third-party ones) and cache?

 

Looking forward to your reply : )

Both graceful & non-graceful Spotify shutdowns happen to do the same (just tested). 

 

I did not know about the browser. Tried with:

- Brave

- Chromium

- Firefox ESR

 

All three end in the same results.
