Segfault in spotify

amiacamal · 2013-07-03 17:56:41

Hi there,

I installed arch about 24 hours ago and so far so good, except that I get a segfault when loading spotify. Spotify was installed using yaort command:

yaort -S spotify

The error i get is :

(spotify:711): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid cast from `GtkFixed' to `GtkBox'

(spotify:711): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_box_pack: assertion `GTK_IS_BOX (box)' failed

I have tried installing ffmpeg-spotify and get the same error regardless of whether it is insalled or not.

Any help would be appreciated!

Not sure how to fix your problem, but a workaround would be to use the spotify web player: http://lifehacker.com/5961136/enable-sp … -right-now

Did Spotify successfully install, or is it an installation problem? I can't quite tell from your post.

If it's an installation problem, I'd recommend trying again using http://aur.sh (I recommend that over yaourt). If it's a Spotify problem, I'd either recommend trying again to install, or using the spotify web player, as mynis01 suggested.

Installing via aur.sh didn't help either. below is the full output of the install and the error.

Unfortunatly the web UI doesn't support playlist folders, which is exactly the feature I want to use!

I have the same problem. I'd appreciate a fix if anyone has it.

firecat53 · 2013-07-07 22:51:30

Hmmm, I've been running spotify here for quite some time with no issues. Try deleting your ~/.cache/spotify if it exists. Another silly questions...is it available in your respective countries? I don't know what effect that would have...just that it seems to dump right after connecting to the spotify AP. You could also post this (or a link to the thread) on the AUR page and see if the maintainer has any thoughts.

It's definitely available in my country. It worked on Windows (what I was using before Linux) and also Ubuntu.

I'm just trying to reinstall it right now. If that doesn't work, I'll delete the cache, and if that still doesn't work, I'll email the maintainer.

EDIT: No difference after reinstalling and removing the cache.

For some reason, it magically started working! I just launched it using Synapse (not sure if this matters) and it started working! I didn't change anything.

EDIT: I didn't launch it as root. That's what changed.

It has also started to work for me, though I have no idea what changed!
