2.) Install the public key:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys D2C1988

  1. thanks alot m8, /beginner on linux, so this was helpful :)

  2. Hi, thanks for really clear instruction. I do have another question though: how do I get spottily to see my local files if these files are stored on a network drive e.g. samba share. ?

    I can’t workout how to expose the fileshare / mounted drive so I can select it

  3. Many thanks for making installing Spotify so simple.
    before finding this the only other option was to install a tarball, which I’ve never been able to do.

  9. Hi, i’ve done everything in the tutorial, but I cannot install Spotify.
    I have Mint 15 Mate.
    That’s what I get from the terminal:
    “Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
    requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
    distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
    or been moved out of Incoming.
    The following information may help to resolve the situation:

    The following packages have unmet dependencies.
    spotify-client-qt : Depends: spotify-client but it is not going to be installed
    E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

    Any Idea?
    Thanks

    Thanks a lot. I live in India. Suggest me any procedure, like using a proxy to use Spotify and Pandora. Please :)

  13. Thanks mate… I just got Linux today. Great help.

  14. Works just fine on LM17 with Xfce. You are godly.

  15. I had an issue installing the public key in step 2. I was able to resolve it by using slightly different url than above.

    sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 94558F59

  16. Wonderful! Worked like a charm.

  17. I did everything and at the end it looked like it was installing and then said unable to locate. I am running 17.1 rebecca should have worked I got it on my other computer running the same system? Any ideas I am kind of new at this and not a programmer..
    Thanks

  18. Thanks a lot
    Do you have any idea to stream my linux spotify music to any airplay devices like speakers or freebox player ?

  19. The key has changed: sudo apt-key adv –keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 –recv-keys D2C19886

  20. It’s just not working!!! I tried everything.
    I’m on Linux Mint 17.1 cinnamon.

    Every command is successful except for the apt-get install command.
    I’m stuck with this for a while since i super duper want to have spotify on my computer.

    This is what’s happening with that command:
    oh another problem, it’s in dutch.

    *The sudo apt-get update command was alright*

    I hope this was clear enough to understand.

    Well, what do i do, these errors are horrible.

    thank you for your help in advance!

    • 1. The first warning at the end of apt-get update output says that you miss gpg key for one of PPA repositories on your system. You can easily get the key by command:

      sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 133EAF26736E4F0B

      2. The second warning means you’ve duplicated Spotify repository, remove/disable one through Software & Updater -> Other Software tab.

      3. in the output of sudo apt-get install spotify command, it tells that there are some useless packages installed on your system and you can use sudo apt-get autoremove to git rid of them. These may be dependency packages for some removed applications left on your system.

      4. The only error message is:

      E: Kon vergrendeling /var/cache/apt/archives/lock niet verkrijgen – open (11: Hulpbron is tijdelijk onbeschikbaar)
      *another E containting: Couldn’t lock the /var/cache/apt/archives/ folder*
      E: Kan de map /var/cache/apt/archives/ niet vergrendelen

      which means another apt process (e.g., Ubuntu Software Center, Synaptic Package Manager, Software Updater, and/or other background process) is using the resource. So you have to close them, wait until the process finished, or just restart your computer to continue the command.

  21. I am attempting to install on Linux mint 17.2. Here is the output I get when I run sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install -y spotify-client-qt

  22. Hi I’ve just installed Spotify on Linux Mint 17.2 and everything is great just cannot see either the discovery list nor any activity in the panel. The discovery message says “Discovery can’t be loaded at this moment. Please try again in a bit.” with a ‘refresh’ button underneath. And the activity panel ask me if I want to add some friend or follow somebody even though I already have some, again with a ‘Add’ button. Both buttons work but with no sufficient outcome.
    Is there some update or test I may run to check if it’s system mistake or something else.

  23. Here is what happens when I run these commands on “Linux Mint 10” (live cd)
    But because of the errors, i cannot get it to install…

    Im a linux newbie, but this distro “Linux Mint 10” (live cd) works well on my laptop.
    (internet with wifi works well, all drivers loads well)

    I would love to use linux mint as a primary system, but first i need to learn how to install applications on it, and thus, i am using a live cd, to be able to experiment as much as possible, without destroing anything…

    Any tips to what went wrong when i tried to install this, see output from TERMIAL below:

    W: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
    Reading package lists… Done
    Building dependency tree
    Reading state information… Done
    Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
    requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
    distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
    or been moved out of Incoming.
    The following information may help to resolve the situation:

    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    spotify-client : Depends: libgconf-2-4 but it is not installable
    Depends: libnss3 but it is not installable
    Depends: libssl1.0.0 but it is not installable
    Recommends: libavcodec54 but it is not installable or
    libavcodec-extra-54 but it is not installable
    Recommends: libavformat54 but it is not installable
    E: Broken packages

    So… what am I doing wrong, what can I change, what else can I try, to get SPOTIFY installed…???

    I also tried this line “sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install -y spotify-client-qt” with similar results…

    Please point me in the right direction, anyone…
