The repository information in your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotidy.list file isn't correct and the other commands fail because you haven't actually installed the spotify client yet.
Check that the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list contais the following line
deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free
and then run
sudo apt-get update
to update the repository information and then
sudo apt-get install spotify-client
to actually install Spotify.
The complete installation procedure is:
# 1. Add the Spotify repository signing key to be able to verify downloaded packages sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys BBEBDCB318AD50EC6865090613B00F1FD2C19886 # 2. Add the Spotify repository echo deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list # 3. Update list of available packages sudo apt-get update # 4. Install Spotify sudo apt-get install spotify-client
I'm having a similar error on Lubuntu 15.10 where I can't load Spotify once it's installed. The program worked no problem for months then one day that was it. Now nothing is working and it's the only program I'm having a problem loading. I've cleaned my machine,etc [I think it's the kernel myself] and I'll need to upgrade sooner or later.
Here is a video of my issue:

Starting with spotify 1.0.64 the "--force-device-scale-factor=1.5" for
hidpi displays has no effect anymore. Is there any workaround?
Hi,
I'm hitting an issue that occurs when running spotify in a window manager such as i3 or openbox but not in a full desktop environment, e.g. GNOME 3.26 or KDE 5. Parts of the UI become unresponsive when a song starts playing.
I've included strace logs of spotify when running under i3 4.14 and when running under GNOME 3.26.
with the new update from a few weeks ago i'm getting a massive memory leak while trying to use the Spotify client on Linux Mint 18 [64 bit]
its taking up over 5 gigs of memory and cripling my system
any ideas how i can stop this?

Hi,
When I go to add the key I get the following error: gpg: keyserver receive failed: No keyserver available.
My distro is Xubuntu 17.10
Thanks for any assistance.
This answer still works in Ubuntu 17.04
You do want to copy the shared libraries with the `-d` flag to `cp` to preserve the links, so you don't have to recreate them.
