@Lenovsky There you go. Please upvote this topic if you wish to have spotify in the official ArchLinux [community] repository.

libcurl.so.3 doesn't exist in Arch:

ERROR: ld.so: object 'libcurl.so.3' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.

You need change it to libcurl-gnutls.so.3 in https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/spotify?h=spotify#n2 .

Also, executing it like below will prevent leaving unnecessary shell process open:

#!/bin/sh
export LD_PRELOAD=libcurl-gnutls.so.3 
exec /usr/share/spotify/spotify "$@"

As @carmilso mentioned, I am completely unable to play local files. I just get the "This song is not available" error, regardless of what format I'm using.

@lordchaos: well if I remember correctly there is no full-time dev working on the linux version as linux has never really been officially supported, this is why there is now a half-backed webapp.

Is Spotify on Linux no longer supported? My mac client has version 1.0.85.257

@fsutil I have the same problem. I've just installed the latest version from AUR for first time (not an upgrade) and after I start the application I get the following errors in the console:

/usr/share/spotify/spotify: /usr/lib/libcurl-gnutls.so.4: no version information available (required by /usr/share/spotify/spotify) /usr/share/spotify/spotify: /usr/lib/libcurl-gnutls.so.4: no version information available (required by /usr/share/spotify/spotify) /proc/self/exe: /usr/lib/libcurl-gnutls.so.4: no version information available (required by /proc/self/exe) [0622/123903.951302:ERROR:gpu_process_transport_factory.cc(1029)] Lost UI shared context. [0622/123904.003641:ERROR:service_manager_context.cc(252)] Attempting to run unsupported native service: /usr/share/spotify/content_renderer.service [0622/123909.589536:ERROR:web_plugin_impl.cc(38)] Widevine registration is not supported after context initialization

The application starts despite the errors - a window appears on screen but the windows is empty (dark blank) and now controls or login buttons are available. I've already allied the fix for libcurl.so.3 -> libcurl.so.4.5.0 but it seems I am facing another issue (just like you did) with libcurl-gnutls.so.4

Anyone faced this? Pleace, advice! Thanks!

Is someone else having problems when adding a source to listen local music? I press the button but it has no effects.

EDIT

After the last upgrading, i can open spotify, it works very well. But I have same output on command line.

@alexx

Thank you for your answer.

I've tried your solution. libcurl.so.3 issue has gone but problem is not solved.

$ spotify

/usr/share/spotify/spotify: /usr/lib/libcurl-gnutls.so.4: no version information available (required by /usr/share/spotify/spotify)
/usr/share/spotify/spotify: /usr/lib/libcurl-gnutls.so.4: no version information available (required by /usr/share/spotify/spotify)
/proc/self/exe: /usr/lib/libcurl-gnutls.so.4: no version information available (required by /proc/self/exe)

I have this in /usr/lib

$ ls -l libcurl*

libcurl-gnutls.so.3 -> libcurl-gnutls.so.4.5.0
libcurl-gnutls.so.4 -> libcurl-gnutls.so.4.5.0
libcurl-gnutls.so.4.0.0 -> libcurl-gnutls.so.4.5.0
libcurl-gnutls.so.4.1.0 -> libcurl-gnutls.so.4.5.0
libcurl-gnutls.so.4.2.0 -> libcurl-gnutls.so.4.5.0
libcurl-gnutls.so.4.3.0 -> libcurl-gnutls.so.4.5.0
libcurl-gnutls.so.4.4.0 -> libcurl-gnutls.so.4.5.0
libcurl-gnutls.so.4.5.0
libcurl.so -> libcurl.so.4.5.0
libcurl.so.3 -> libcurl.so.4.5.0
libcurl.so.4 -> libcurl.so.4.5.0
libcurl.so.4.5.0

@fsutil For "ERROR: ld.so: object 'libcurl.so.3' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored."

$ cd /usr/lib

$ ls -l libcur*

You have something like:

libcurl.so -> libcurl.so.4.5.0

libcurl.so.4 -> libcurl.so.4.5.0

libcurl.so.4.5.0

Then, create a symlink for libcurl.so.4.5.0 named libcurl.so.3:

ln -s libcurl.so.4.5.0 libcurl.so.3

or

ln -s /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4.5.0 /usr/lib/libcurl.so.3

About "libcurl-gnutls.so.4" error, I have no idea.

It shows a blank window. What should i do ?

ERROR: ld.so: object 'libcurl.so.3' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.

@emvigo, the AUR is used by other Arch based distros, e.g. ArchLinux32 at https://archlinux32.org/.
