I have the same issue but I've never installed a system version, I've only ever installed with ./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr
. Spotify works fine on my Fedora 18 machine, but now fails with this error on Ubuntu 10.04 after previous versions worked fine. I also tried using the --user
option but got the same error. I don't have root access to try a system install. I've also tried deleting all the spotify directories I could find without any luck.
Same problem in mageia 3.
It’s very strange: I’ve just checked in “About Spotify” and the last Spotify version (0.9.4.183) works like a charm on one of my machines, as indicated in the original post (I mean: I confirm it’s really the last version). Guys, have you tried to install it in a new user account? I really don’t know the difference between the two machines… Any ideas to investigate?
Yes i have and still same problem.
Fedora have older version of spotify that's why it's working they have 0.9.1.55 so they don't have newest version of spotify. http://blog.ulyaoth.net/2012/03/01/spotify-for-linux-preview-installation-in-fedora/
Fedora does not have any non-ree software such as spotify in their repositories.
Before following that link be aware that using those binaries are breaking the spotify End User Agreement (EULA) which stipulates that re-distribution of the spotify package is not allowed.
Also, bear in mind that for what I can see ulyaoth's packages are built from my spec (and thus spotify-make) so they probably have the some problem(s)
I have found yet another problem with the directory layout and pushed some commits to master. To my regret, I managed to push a merge, forcing me to reset the repo.
Since I cannot reproduce these problems on my own I would appreciate if someone could test the new version.
Yes it's working again like a charm :) thx and my point was not to say that those are official fedora packages only to provide info that those are out of date packages and i know that their are breaking spotify licences.Fedora having only free software not even single closed pacakges in their repos.
Yeah! You’re da best! ;) Thanks it works.
I still wonder why it worked on one of my machines…
And I wonder why it worked for me. In hindsight it shouldn't, for sure.
But: never trust something which works unless you have reviewed it!
Thanks to all of you for reporting and providing info.
Hi!
I have two machines with the same kind of system: Mageia Cauldron, 64 bits. On one of them, the last spotify version works like a charm (installed with your spotify-make). But on the other one, after a fine installation with spotify-make, spotify cannot launch. I get this:
The only difference with the other machine is on this one, I’ve had installed a system spotify once. I’ve tried a
make uninstall
after a./configure
to delete some former libs of spotify which could be remaining on the system. I’ve even found and deleted every file containing the wordspotify
on my system, but still, I get the same error message.Which files do I have to delete to be sure there is no conflict between the last spotify and the previous version?
I’ve also deleted
~/.local/share/spotify-client
and~/.cache/spotify*
.Thanks in advance for any help!
