upgrading spotify to 1.1.72-r1 or 1.1.72-r2 causes spotify to not display anything on launch. processes stuck in the background... # ps aux | grep spotify chris 19169 0.0 0.0 8804 3012 ? S 23:37 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/spotify chris 19170 0.8 0.1 37752 20268 ? S 23:37 0:00 /usr/bin/python3.9 /usr/lib/python-exec/python3.9/spotify-dbus.py I tried waiting but nothing ever appeared. Tried looking for logs, couldn't find any, sorry. Clearing the cache didn't help but I did it anyways. :) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. upgrade spotify 2. close and re-open spotify Actual Results: nothing happens Expected Results: spotify opens
Thank you for the report. We need to have all information at hand. This includes * the complete build.log as attachment and * paste the emerge info as described on https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Attach_the_logs_to_the_bug_ticket Start spotify from the command line and check, if you get messages on SDTDERR.
I get no errors. I'm sorry that I haven't provided much information, there was none to give. Not sure how a build log is relevant, this isn't a compilation error. I guess someone else can file a bug if this affects more people.
The offending script is third-party [1]. Consider installing 1.1.72-r2 and replacing line #7 of /usr/bin/spotify with the following: python -m trace -t /usr/bin/spotify-dbus.py "$@" >"$HOME/spotify-dbus-trace.txt" 2>&1 Doing so should write out an execution trace that may help to determine why it isn't behaving as expected.
