As GNU / linux users know, we have a native client for Spotify (still in preview according to your website), and I must admit that, although it is not yet the official release version, the client works wonders except for a small bug, and it happens that from time to time, the interactive pages (Discover, Messages, Apps, artist profiles, etc…) are not shown leaving us a completely blank page instead.
Apparently it has been recurring in the spotify help forums and is expected to be corrected in the next update. A solution that is handled for now is the following:
In a terminal we use the following command while the Spotify client is running:
rm -r ~ / .cache / spotify && rm -r ~ / .config / spotify
we restart the client and it should reappear all the pages
It is interesting how more and more companies are encouraged to take into account the linux sector 🙂
greetings to all our readers 😀
Wonderful!
Interesting. Most likely, that page cache bug will be fixed immediately.
Do the songs work for you when you click them? Until last month the only way I had, if I used Spanish locale, was to edit an application launch parameter.
Well, if the songs work, I have not had the problem you mention, I use version 0.9.4, which was recently updated.
and the radio will advance you the songs, with the cover, after having listened to the first one?
Radio function does not work well either. When you press next it does not jump to the next song and it does not save the rating
And sometimes it stays half gray as if it is charging all the time, it is a matter of luck if I can use the radio or not.
But in general it works quite well it is only the Radio option that does not work (in my case)
Spotify was giving me problems for a long time, this solution works great for me 😀
… Testing… All excellent! Thank you very much = ^. ^ =
Forget the redundancy ... the link has two "/" together (spotify.com//download) causing a blank page to appear jijiji, to tell some admin.

for manjaro and arch it is enough to install libgcrypt15 from AUR, together with ffmpeg-compat from the official repositories make spotify work perfectly, both the dynamic artist pages and the reproduction of local files. New guide for manjaro xfce in the forum (wiki steps no longer work due to a system update this weekend, I'll try to see if I can edit it) http://forum.manjaro.org/index.php?topic=7467.msg92303#msg92303
I can't even install it on debian 7 🙁
I don't know why, but in my case, when it happened to me (almost never) just by restarting Spotify, the problem was solved.
