Spotify Issues

Post by NathanL »

I am getting an error after trying to launch spotify. It tries to start spotify and says it is, then gives this error :(
Anyone know what to do?
The program spotify.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

This can be cause by a problem in the program or a deficiency in wine. You may want to check http://appdb.winehq.org for tis about running this program.
I would love to use spotify on wine and this is the only hope I have. Please help if you can. Thank you!

It is always good if you try to start the application in a terminal and post here the output. The above error message isn't very informative and it doesn't reveal anything about the cause of the problem.

I also am having the same exact issue. I installed Spotify using the winetricks option in wine 1.3.31. The funny thing is despite it starting up Spotify when it was done installing, I can't seem to find any traces of it in my wine folder.

I also tried to run Spotify from the terminal with the command

wine spotify
wine spotify.exe

But all I get is that the file doesn't exist.

What is the command I should be using and in what folder does the winetricks store its Installed files.

If I can do that, I would post the output I get after running the application from the terminal.

Winetricks installs apps to subdirectories under ~/.local/share/wineprefixes.
