Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gail" "atk-bridge" "canberra-gtk-module"

[rohit-kumar-j]

This is the error I got. Any suggestions. I've installed Spotify from the Ubuntu Software App.(Perhaps it may have been a snap package?)

Looks like you missed the installation step (sudo make install).

Perhaps it may have been a snap package?

That could be another problem. Make sure you've installed the Debian package. You can find the instructions at the bottom of this page.

[rohit-kumar-j]

Ah Yes! Thanks it works! However, I have this error now: (Should I open a new issue?)

rkj@Strix:~/Custom/spotify-adblock-linux$ sudo make install

Try running make clean and then go through the build and install steps again.

[rohit-kumar-j]

Okay, I did a clean Install of Spotify, logged in, and did this: It doesn't seem to be working. Any suggestions? Is there a problem with my $PATH or something? (I'm running Ubuntu 20,04 LTS)

The adblocker seems to be installed correctly now. There's still something wrong with your Spotify installation though. It looks like there's a broken symlink from /usr/bin/spotify to /snap/bin/spotify leftover from the snap package.

[rohit-kumar-j]

I was using sudo -i for root user, this was taking me to root@Strix~ which only had "snap" directory in it, but I realized that In Ubuntu20.04, I need to use sudo -s to be root@Strix~/home/rkj#. Now When I do ls in root@S trix~/home/rkj# I get this as the output:

Spotify exists as a shortcut, and when I click it, "Spotify Free" opens with ads:

This is from /usr/bin. It has 'spotify` in it:

I tried running ./spotify from /usr/bin too, and got this error:

root@Strix:/usr/bin# ./spotify

Also, from the CMD_LINE:

rkj@Strix:~$ $ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/spotify-adblock.so spotify
bash: $: command not found
rkj@Strix:~$ cd /usr/local/lib/
rkj@Strix:/usr/local/lib$ ls

rkj@Strix:/usr/local/lib$ $ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/spotify-adblock.so spotify
bash: $: command not found
rkj@Strix:/usr/local/lib$ 

should I do make clean and make install from the spotify-adblock-linux directory?

[rohit-kumar-j]

I did a purge and did a clean reinstall. It worked just fine. Thank you!

Although, I have 2 Spotify start options now (Perhaps I need to remove a startup method(?) as both open the same application named 'Spotify'):
