I'm having problems installing the spotify client on Ubuntu 14.04. I've installed the latest updates, but it didn't change anything.

First I ran:

deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free

Then I did:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 94558F59

After that I did:

sudo apt-get update

And then I did:

sudo apt-get install spotify-client

But it says 

cannot find package spotify-client...

  • Great question, nicely written, but you know the spotify client is just a beta. That isn't that well taken care of. – Alvar May 24 '15 at 22:27

    What did you with deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free? Ran in terminal? – Pilot6 May 24 '15 at 22:31
  • it's almost as polished as the web player. But at least it works, and yes I use it on my laptop :) – Alvar May 24 '15 at 22:31
  • Are you doing this through a LiveUSB? I found that spotify does not install properly on a LiveUSB. – Rumesh May 25 '15 at 03:45

I found the 32bit version of Spotify, here's the link: http://spotify.en.uptodown.com/ubuntu/download/78109

Then open terminal and go to the directory the file has been downloaded to and run:

dpkg -i spotify-0-9-4-183-en-ubu.deb

Spotify now works on my system, running on Ubuntu 14.04 32bit

you need to add the server address to your server list.
Like this: 

sudo apt-add-repository -y "deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free"

Simply running deb "source" wont add it to you list which is where all apt commands are looking. So of course it won't find anything. :)

  • it's still not working. I'm using the 32bit version of Ubuntu does that matter? – Jens VDE May 24 '15 at 22:34
  • @JensVDE Yeah, that's the problem there's only a 64-bit version available. Why aren't you running 64-bit? it can run on only 2GB of RAM... – Alvar May 24 '15 at 22:35
  • Well Spotify is installed on my other laptop and that runs the 32bit version of Ubuntu 12.04. I installed Spotify a long time ago on that one. Maybe I can download an older version of Spotify with 32bit support? – Jens VDE May 24 '15 at 22:37
  • if it's still available. What I know it was gone around December 2014, so t's unlikely to find it... And if you find it somewhere else, are you sure you will trust it? – Alvar May 24 '15 at 22:40
  • I didn't read the part about the 2gb ram. Well I have 2gb of ram and I'm not planning on upgrading my pc. So I thought the 32bit version was going to be more compactible with older applications than the 64bit version... But I guess that isn't true – Jens VDE May 24 '15 at 22:53
  • @JensVDE well 64-bit is 100% backward compatible :), well now you know ;) – Alvar May 24 '15 at 23:01

You typed deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free as a command, instead of adding it to your /etc/sources. Instead, type the following commands in order.

sudo apt-add-repository "deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install spotify-client

Spotify doesn't have support to 32bit CPUs from now (may-2015) for install it in a 32bit CPU u should do it manually with dpkg as they have said.
