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 :)

makepkg is currently failing for me, it looks like Spotify has started using a new key

Spotx works well with this

@bosma @me44ic05 Was getting the same error with download failing midway. Out of desperation I re-imported the GPG key despite already having it "curl -sS https://download.spotify.com/debian/pubkey_7A3A762FAFD4A51F.gpg | gpg --import -a" and it started working again. Might help.

I'm not sure what went on with the latest changes for the Spotify client or GNOME, but, if you leave the "minimize on close" option on, lock your screen, and unlock it back, Spotify breaks the interactions with the windows (close, select tab etc). I'm trying to understand the extent of the error before I file a more detailed bug report.

me44ic05 commented on 2023-11-24 06:39 (UTC)

@bosma I've been getting the same. The main package download will fail with some arbitrary number of bytes remaining. I've had to clone this repo and manually run makepkg -i multiple times every time there's an update to get it to push through to a fully complete download.

I think it may be isolated to some networks: jumping on a VM on a cloud provider seemed to present no issue with downloading the package. I haven't looked much further though.

@sterni1971 A new version came out in the meantime (v1.2.25.1011) causing the upgrade to v1.2.25.1009 to fail. I just updated the package ;)

Update failed with

I also had the same problem with blank screen. Solved by executing my WM (BSPWM) with "dbus-run-session bspwm"

I just had the same problem with a blank screen on start. Solved it by disabling KeepassXC's Secret Service Integration.
