spotify

I've been using Spotify for 18 months without a problem. I use Ubuntu 12.04. Today Spotify stopped and doesn't start anymore. I only see a quick flash of the Spotify-startup-screen and thats it.

I uninstalled using Synaptic and reinstalled using Synaptic. No solution.
I uninstalled using Synaptic and reinstalled by terminal. No solution.
I used Backup to set the system back two days. No solution.

I see no error message and I ran out of options I know of.

Will final version of 12.04 use the power management changes found in kernel 3.3

I have seen in some version of Ubuntu that instead of making a huge change to update to the latest kernel, they take some of the good stuff out of it, for the sake of stability and put it on a previous version. In this case, kernel 3.3 has seen some very good power management enhancements that are… >>> More

I was in the UK and enjoyed Spotify relentlessly. Now I've moved back to Greece and I can't even pay for the darn thing. So my idea was this- I have a server in France and it has a fail-over IP in the UK. So I installed a proxy server on it and made it listen to the UK IP. So far so good. Then… >>> More

Skype has an inbuilt function where iTunes playback is paused and resumed automatically when a call comes in. It would be nice to have something similar for Spotify. Both provide a python API so this would seem the obvious route to go down. >>> More
