Spotify doesn't work after update to 15.04 [duplicate]

Solution 1:

There is a tutorial so you can fix it (beneath reinstalling). Just execute these two commands, it worked for me:

$ wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libg/libgcrypt11/libgcrypt11_1.5.4-2ubuntu1.1_amd64.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i libgcrypt11_1.5.4-2ubuntu1.1_amd64.deb

Solution 2:

Before doing the next steps, remove any Spotify ppa's.

Install the Spotify ppa:

sudo apt-add-repository -y "deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free" && sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 94558F59 && sudo apt-get update -qq && sudo apt-get install spotify-client

Then install the following:

wget http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libg/libgcrypt11/libgcrypt11_1.5.0-5+deb7u2_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i libgcrypt11_1.5.0-5+deb7u2_amd64.deb

Enjoy!

Solution 3:

This worked for me:

wget http://security.debian.org/debian-security/pool/updates/main/libg/libgcrypt11/libgcrypt11_1.5.0-5+deb7u3_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i libgcrypt11_1.5.0-5+deb7u3_amd64.deb

Solution 4:

Installing libgcrypt11 is said to involve security issues (see this Spotify forum post which links to this NVD page). As mentioned in the Spotify forum post linked above, it's probably better to use the testing version of the Spotify client, available for download on this repository-origin.spotify.com page. It's not ideal either, but probably the best option.
