Spotify - Blank Screen
by SpacePlod from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6M0YK)
I have installed Spotify (client) and required deps from SBo (15.0). When I start the program I get a long delay then a blank screen - nothing displayed.
Running from the command line gives:
Code:$ spotify --log-file=spot.log

The laptop shows this additional message on the command line (but not in the log):
Code:MESA: warning: Driver does not support the 0xa788 PCI ID.
libva error: /usr/lib64/dri/i965_drv_video.so init failedAlthough, again, the program fails to display on either computer. I've played with the graphics settings on the laptop (integrated, nvidia, hybrid, etc.) and no change.
Is anyone else seeing similar? Or perhaps I have something installed that is conflicting?
TIA
EDIT: The web client works fine, but I need the app to download for offline playing.
