Spotify will not open

Might not be a bazzite issue. Spotify will not open. I tried reinstalling through the discover page but no luck. Wondering if there is a linux user way to resolve issues like this that does not involve turning pc on and off lol.
Solution:
if it launches for other people but not for you i would look into removing the flatpak data for spotify in ~/.var/app/ and then try again

Hi Marko, I usually right click on the launcher, go into properties and see what it runs to launch the app and just run it in the terminal and read the error message

But let me see if spotify is broken for me too so to launch spotify it's running this /usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=spotify --file-forwarding com.spotify.Client @@u %U @@

not launching the app and look at properties. when you in the KDE menu, you can right click on any item and view properties of the launcher and gt the command line output

weirdly I get the same error as you but it launches, I mean this one "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4: no version information available (required by /app/extra/share/spotify/spotify)"

I just made a shortcut to it on my desktop and changed the icon to spotify so it shows upt he same at the bottom should be good enough I guess no need to count on an undependable app for me at least 🙂
