Mageia forum

Has anyone tried running Spotify?

Tried it following reading about it on Spotify help forum. Some OpenSuse and Fedora users have got it running. Interesting to see if any has tried on Mageia 2.

Someone tried to install it with wine, but got an error
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6370

I'm not aware anyone else tried, but then those who got it to work without problems, would probably not mention it

There's also a preview version available for linux, was already asked here: viewtopic.php?p=18630#p18630
But seems it's a bit older, and only offered for Fedora 13 and 14 as RPM packages: http://repository.spotify.com/fedora/releases/

I've just tried using http://blog.laimbock.com/2012/05/31/spo ... fedora-17/ with Mageia.
It works, but the symlinks need to be adapted to Mageia, here's for x86_64 and Mageia 1:

Code: Select all

ln -s /usr/lib64/libssl.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib64/libssl.so.0.9.8
ln -s /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.0.9.8
ln -s /usr/lib64/libnss3.so /usr/lib64/libnss3.so.1d
ln -s /usr/lib64/libnssutil3.so /usr/lib64/libnssutil3.so.1d
ln -s /usr/lib64/libsmime3.so /usr/lib64/libsmime3.so.1d
ln -s /usr/lib64/libplc4.so /usr/lib64/libplc4.so.0d
ln -s /usr/lib64/libnspr4.so /usr/lib64/libnspr4.so.0d

This is what it looks like:


Look and feel is really nice and polished so far, and it works just fine. Awesome

Thanks for that.

Am I right in saying that this is for AMD processors and 64 bit installations only?

What changes would i need to make? I am running 32 bit on an intel processor.

Regards

Well, it's for 64bit installation (but doesn't matter what processor brand). You basically just need to replace lib64 with lib.
But i think i could make the above instructions work for both via some shell magic


Like so, it will automatically find out which system you have and create the links in either /usr/lib/ or /usr/lib64:

Code: Select all

ln -s /usr/$(rpm -E %_lib)/libssl.so.1.0.0 /usr/$(rpm -E %_lib)/libssl.so.0.9.8
ln -s /usr/$(rpm -E %_lib)/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 /usr/$(rpm -E %_lib)/libcrypto.so.0.9.8
ln -s /usr/$(rpm -E %_lib)/libnss3.so /usr/$(rpm -E %_lib)/libnss3.so.1d
ln -s /usr/$(rpm -E %_lib)/libnssutil3.so /usr/$(rpm -E %_lib)/libnssutil3.so.1d
ln -s /usr/$(rpm -E %_lib)/libsmime3.so /usr/$(rpm -E %_lib)/libsmime3.so.1d
ln -s /usr/$(rpm -E %_lib)/libplc4.so /usr/$(rpm -E %_lib)/libplc4.so.0d
ln -s /usr/$(rpm -E %_lib)/libnspr4.so /usr/$(rpm -E %_lib)/libnspr4.so.0d

BTW: Accidentally i found out there's also an open-source alternative spotify client, called despotify:
http://despotify.se/
But no time to try that out yet, will post results, and if it works as good as the nornmal client,
that could be added to Mageia

EDIT: There are some more third-party spotify clients, all using libspotify, which requires a premium subscription.
Clients are all listed here: http://despotify.se/2010/02/11/open-sou ... rameworks/

doktor5000 tips I have already tried some days ago. It does not work for 32-bits user of Mageia 2. The symlink are not even correct for 32-bits user. Running from command line will show that. To get the correct symlink for 32-bits version under Mageia 2:

Code: Select all

ln -s /usr/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8
ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8
ln -s /lib/libnss3.so /lib/libnss3.so.1d
ln -s /lib/libnssutil3.so /lib/libnssutil3.so.1d
ln -s /lib/libsmime3.so /lib/libsmime3.so.1d
ln -s /lib/libplc4.so /lib/libplc4.so.0d
ln -s /lib/libnspr4.so /lib/libnspr4.so.0d

Even with correct symlinks, Spotify will crash after login for 32-bits user of Mageia 2. That is the closest I have come. I have also tried:

Code: Select all

rm -f ~/.cache/spotify/offline.bnk

. That also does not help.

I've just installed Mageia 2 x86_64, and spotify segfaults there, this needs to be reported to it's developers, but with proper information: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Debugging_software_crashes

Yes and no:

....don't you just love it!!!!!

Hmmm?

Related note: Clementine also supports spotify, maybe you want to try that out?

Already running Clementine with Spotify, and though thanks for the suggestion!

So care to mark the thread as [SOLVED] so others are able to find this solution, too?

how?

Edit your first message in the topic by pre-fixing it with [SOLVED].
You can do so by use of the "Full Editor"-button.

Good luck and a nice day SAlineBoy!!!!:)

ok....thanks

FWIW, if anybody is still interested, spotify 0.8.8 seems to work ok so far.
Well, at least it does not crash before it really starts, but this seems good :p

If anyone is interested, I have an experimental installer available at https://github.com/leamas/spotify-make . I just checked in some Mageia support. It handles downloading, sets up links, adds some desktop support and also bundles libqt4dbus-4.8.1 which causes some problems otherwise. Tested to the point that is starts and plays music on a 32-bit virtual installation.

Note: the mageia support is in the devel branch. To get this you could either use git:

Code: Select all

git clone -b devel https://github.com/leamas/spotify-make.git


or just fetch a tarball:

Code: Select all

wget https://github.com/leamas/spotify-make/tarball/devel/spotify-make.tar.gz


Feedback welcome!

There is available fedora 18 packages to spotify,only problem is these are not mageia packages and i don't know are those working in mageia without any problems.
http://www.ulyaoth.asia/2012/03/01/spot ... fedora-18/
http://trash.ulyaoth.asia/trash/rpm/

These will not work and nor will the SUSE ones. Packages are named differently to begin with. OTOH, it should be simple to adapt one of the existing specs to Mageia.

Thank you for your kind efforts, we have been talking of getting a Spotify account, will try this if we decide.
And I do hope Spotify recognize and somehow pays/encourages people who help them make money...

Immediate SUCCESS using leamas installer (see above), following instruction for regular user.
Thank you !

System: Mageia 2 64-bit KDE, Spotify free account (yet)

Feedback:
1) it would be nice if the wget in step "make download" could output progress.
2) the menu item is missing an icon. The same for the running program in taskbar, but there is a correct symbol in system tray.

Running, i see these messages pretty often

Code: Select all

When i close it from File menu:

Code: Select all

/home/morgan/bin/my-spotify: rad 27: 11015 Segmenteringsfel        $spotify $@

I guess the above problem should be reported to Spotify developers...
Anyway, it works

UPDATE
On second machine i had to install make.
Maybe it should check for and install that dependency?
Similar system as first one, but here 32 bit: sucess here too
