Spotify's process does not stop when closing the app

Hello!

The Spotify app works great but I still have the following errors:

/usr/share/spotify/spotify: /usr/lib/libcurl.so.3: no version information available (required by /usr/share/spotify/spotify)
/usr/share/spotify/spotify: /usr/lib/libcurl.so.3: no version information available (required by /usr/share/spotify/spotify)
/proc/self/exe: /usr/lib/libcurl.so.3: no version information available (required by /proc/self/exe)
[0115/082414.343673:ERROR:child_thread_impl.cc(762)] Request for unknown Channel-associated interface:
ui::mojom::GpuMain

And the problem is that closing the app (with my keybinding to close the app) does not stop the process. So I have to kill it by hand with

kill spotify

.

This is a problem because, for each time I reopen the app, if not killed by me before, it creates another process; and this second process has no DBus connection, therefore, I can't use my usual play/pause and skip keys...

Does anyone know the solution to this problem?

Re: Spotify's process does not stop when closing the app

/usr/lib/libcurl.so.3 is provided by libcurl-compat. See if it's installed on your system. If not, ask the maintainer of the spotify package to make it a dependency.

As for closing the app not stopping the process, if you do a web search, it seems to be a know  issue (at least it was a couple of years ago). Perhaps, try taking it upstream.

I already have libcurl-compat installed but the error remains.

I'll try maybe talking to the developers but I think they don't give as much attention to their Linux version of the software.

Ah, that package is compiled without versioned symbols. Try recompiling it with versioned symbols.

Here's the PKGBUILD, for your reference: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/comm … url-compat
