Please make sure to import the correct OpenPGP key first:

$ curl -sS https://download.spotify.com/debian/pubkey_5384CE82BA52C83A.gpg | gpg --import -

And always build in a clean chroot. It is as easy as:

pacman -S devtools
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/spotify.git
cd spotify
pkgctl build
pacman -U <path-to-spotify-package>

It is expected that the package will break now and then, as spotify continuously changes download binaries, OpenPGP keys, etc (which is not appropriate, but we cannot change this). Please be patient if an update does not occur the next day, you can still use an existing spotify install or update the version yourself.

@lightofpast Just pushed v1:1.2.20.1210-2 that now allows you to set custom launch flags in a spotify-flags.conf file under $XDG_CONFIG_HOME or ~/.config :)

@gromit Interesting, no for me that is all the output, then nothing happens. Any other output I can provide?

EDIT: nothing happens = spotify executable quits, no window was ever opened

@phuhl, works fine for me although there seems to be some cli output:

spotify                                                                                                                                                                                134 ↵

But afterwards spotify starts and works fine ... Do you get more output?

phuhl commented on 2023-08-08 11:43 (UTC)

Seems there is a new version of libcurl-gnutls that is not compatible and prevents spotify from starting:

$ spotify
spotify: /usr/lib/libcurl-gnutls.so.4: no version information available (required by spotify)
/opt/spotify/spotify: /usr/lib/libcurl-gnutls.so.4: no version information available (required by /opt/spotify/spotify)

It was crashing on launch for me with

[0720/122312.041162:FATAL:gpu_data_manager_impl_private.cc(440)] GPU process isn't usable. Goodbye.

zsh: trace trap (core dumped)  spotify

I had to launch it with this instead

% spotify --no-zygote

removing the whole Spotify folder under /opt directory solved the black screen issue for me after the update

gromit commented on 2023-06-28 11:28 (UTC)

Uh interesting! I also sometimes have it but it is mostly fixed by a restart so far :)

figue commented on 2023-06-28 09:38 (UTC)

I have to delete my cache to use the new version (UI was black):

rm -rf ~/.cache/spotify

Antiz commented on 2023-06-20 13:46 (UTC)

@MarsSeed I personally don't recommend using web.archive.org.
Apart from being considerably slower, I don't think downloading sources anywhere else than the official ones is a good solution. That sounds like a workaround to "patch" the fact that the package isn't actively maintained.
We are working on fixing the latter part instead ;)

MarsSeed commented on 2023-06-20 13:26 (UTC)

@gromit, thank you for the update!

Would you consider my recommendation to use web.archive.org to host the source files? In order to prevent Spotify breaking new installs of this package when they update to a new version and delete the old version.
