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)

i had that for a while
i kept spotify
installed
and i kept trying every now n then
so idk if thats the issue
but ill try
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
either way thanks a lot, this was really annoying for me
