Please make sure to import the correct OpenPGP key first:

$ curl -sS https://download.spotify.com/debian/pubkey_5384CE82BA52C83A.gpg | gpg --import -

And always build in a clean chroot. It is as easy as:

pacman -S devtools
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/spotify.git
cd spotify
pkgctl build
pacman -U <path-to-spotify-package>

It is expected that the package will break now and then, as spotify continuously changes download binaries, OpenPGP keys, etc (which is not appropriate, but we cannot change this). Please be patient if an update does not occur the next day, you can still use an existing spotify install or update the version yourself.

@lightofpast Just pushed v1:1.2.20.1210-2 that now allows you to set custom launch flags in a spotify-flags.conf file under $XDG_CONFIG_HOME or ~/.config :)

It's been 2 months, the children yearn for a working close button.

I also get an instant crash at starup.

Anyone having crash during startup? I did clean .cache/spotify, .config/spotify, but nothing helps.

@Hyourinmaru Thank you! That fixes the close button, but it also breaks the "minimize to tray on close" by just completely exit the app.

Antiz commented on 2026-02-12 05:42 (UTC)

@cg505 see https://gitlab.archlinux.org/pacman/pacman-contrib/-/issues/119

cg505 commented on 2026-02-12 01:54 (UTC) 

sha512sums[4]='SKIP'
sha512sums[6]='SKIP'

Why?? They can just be marked as SKIP in the original array definition, right?

Install the AUR package libayatana-appindicator-glib (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libayatana-appindicator-glib) and launch spotify with the environment variable LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libayatana-appindicator-glib.so.2. This solve the broken close button as a temporary solution. I use KDE Plasma.

azam commented on 2026-02-11 19:37 (UTC)

The close button not responding bug is still there. Tried making sure no electron-flags.conf, spotify-flags.conf, reinstallation, no good. Using KDE Plasma. Tried plugging it through chrome debug, but didn't find any clue, most probably a window toolkit issue/mismatch?

@Antiz it starts but only a blank window is showed
