Spotify linux won't display Browse or Radio on Ubuntu 14.04

Solved!

Spotify linux won't display Browse or Radio on Ubuntu 14.04

  1. Your device and operating system: Ubuntu 14.04, Dell T3500, Intel core i7, nvidia Quadro 600
  2. Type of Spotify account you have (Free/ Premium): Premium
  3. The app version of Spotify you’re using: Linux desktop
  4. Brief description of the issue: App no longer displays browse or radio tabs. I get a slew of errors printed to the terminal. 
  5. Steps to reproduce the issue: Open spotify
  6. Attach the spotify-dump.txt ( $HOME/spotify-dump.txt ) from Advanced troubleshooting 4.

 

 

Not really sure how this started, I end up needing to reinstall Nvidia drivers occasionally so I'm assuming it could be an issue with that. The app opens fine and will display lists of songs but the images at the top are not displayed and the browse and radio tabs are completely blank. I have tried everything in the tutorial including deleting the cache and a full clean reinstall. Sample error displayed in terminal (full dump attached):

Hey @raab70,

 

Welcome to Spotify Community!

Can you confirm if you are using 0.98 or 1+ version of the client for Linux?

It appears to be 0.9.17.1

 

From the recent full reinstall:

 

Setting up spotify-client (1:0.9.17.1.g9b85d43.7-1) ...

Issue is resolved with that version. Thanks!
