Please make sure to import the correct GPG key first:

$ curl -sS https://download.spotify.com/debian/pubkey_6224F9941A8AA6D1.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, gpg 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 :)

Wow, thank you for your great work! @Antiz. However, even though the application reads the flags in the file, it still opens as an x11 window.

@lightofpast

edit your spotify desktop file, it should be somewhere in /usr/share/applications, and it has a line that starts with Exec, that's where those arguments should go

Hi all, is there anyway to start the program with "--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland" flags automatically? The program seems to run in wayland with these arguments, so is there any configuration files that the application reads before launch (like spotify-flags.conf)?

@jaytau Just checked the checksums and they're correct. I'm unflagging the package.

@gromit Ok, sorry, seems to be a false alarm. Apparently, I first started Spotify but the window was somehow not there. The process continued to run though and so starting a new instance did nothing as it immediately quit.

@phuhl, I think the easiest you could do is to see if this problem is local to your user account or generally your system (i.e. create a new user and start spotify there).

@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

gromit commented on 2023-08-08 11:47 (UTC)

@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

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