for some reason whenever i open spotify its a blank app with a darkish purple background or whatever.

i installed it from the aur. and i thought the issue was maybe installing it from the aur, so i tried the flatpak version which also gave the same error. finally i tried the snap version which too gave the same error.

the error im getting:

a clearer image

#

@pastel hornet try spotify-launcher

#

``[afk@btw ~]$ spotify
libva error: vaGetDriverNameByIndex() failed with unknown libva error, driver_name = (null)

#

thanks a lot, it works now but that might be since im using snap

#

ill try the aur package now

#

for some reason it actually worked with aur too now

#

so weird

#

i did try troubleshooting before this

#

idk if i downloaded a dependency on accident

#

or if downloading the snap version and restarting fixed it
