Wow, I'm truly amazed as this package left me with a spotify 'binary' full of 0x00's. :D

finally found the solution to graphical glitches without downgrading to 1.0.98:

https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Linux/Green-messy-glitch-on-the-app/m-p/4764184/highlight/true#M18377

spotify --disable-gpu (but cpu usage as shown in top raised about 2-3 times)

Everyone who has version 1.1.5.153 needs to be downgraded to 1.0.98.78-2.1. If you don't have a package cache, then download:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XzjXzF7Irtclg6D7Z854Xa_DrzAlQ7R2/view?usp=sharing

And downgrading with a sudo pacman -U spotify-1:1.0.98.78-2.1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

When building the latest version (1:1.1.5.153-1), my pc rebooted. Very scary. Avoid upgrading for now. Manjaro Xfce user here. Update: Reboot may be caused by something else.

@IdleGandalf Yep, welcome to the club. Downgrading seems to be the only solution for now.

I'm having graphic glitches all over the interface with 1.1.5.153 & mesa, can anyone confirm?

@alexkorpas: I had the same issue. After I changed password via Spotify's webpage it works again.

@arpanek Legend, thank you!

Am I the only one who can't log in? I have different errors every time I try, like the server is not available, error 7, firewall error, etc.

I tried to reinstall, delete ~/.config/spotify directory etc. I even tried snap package but also didn't work.

The same account on a different machine in the same network works without firewall settings. Any ideas?
