Black sceen

Black screen after latest update (I think)

reinstalling did nothing, context menu is reactive but does nothing.

On Mint 21.3

you may try removing ~/.var/app/com.spotify.Client/cache and start the app again.

Sadly, that didn't do anything.

Seeing the same thing in Manjaro with XFCE, first noticed it yesterday. Clearing the cache didn't work for me either.

[Erick555]

could you try if installing test version helps?

[Dzubrul]

Same issue with test version.

[soundgnome]

Same here as well with the test version.

Launching the app from terminal:
flatpak run com.spotify.Client

I get the error:
(spotify:4): libayatana-appindicator-WARNING **: 11:05:05.095: libayatana-appindicator is deprecated. Please use libayatana-appindicator-glib in newly written code.

This message is fine and unrelated

It takes a few tries but works. When you encounter it, just quit the app (I use Win+Q shortcut in COSMIC) and start it again.
Also despite not showing the UI, when you focus the window and hit space or multimedia play key it will play the track.

Is anybody affected using AMD GPU? It might be one of these issues that happen only on Nvidia GPUs.
FTR, I have the issue with 595 and 610 Nvidia drivers.

I doubt it's the same issue. After closing the window, I have to kill the other spotify processes otherwise the window will not show up. Multimedia keys does nothing.

Interesting because visually looks the same as yours

Same issue here, up-to-date Arch Linux, flathub update says "nothing to do". X11, Nvidia + integrated Intel in reverse Prime setup. My feeling is, too, that this is a rendering-related issue.

Welp, I switched to CachyOs and it works now.
