Is there a Spotify repository that works for 12.04?
Solution 1
There is a new key. Use 94558F59
instead of 4E9CFF4E
.
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 94558F59
Solution 2
Here's what worked for me:
echo "deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 4E9CFF4E
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install spotify-client
Can you ping the repository?
$ ping repository.spotify.com
PING repository.spotify.com (78.31.8.20) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from judith.lon.spotify.com (78.31.8.20): icmp_req=1 ttl=58 time=189 ms

I presume your problem is/was the same that I had. That is you went and used the GUI tools for adding the repository. It won't work. It will automatically create a deb-src entry for the repo and they don't, obviously, provide one. Hence you get errors like this (depending on your language of course):
W: Tiedoston http://repository.spotify.com/dists/stable/InRelease nouto ei onnistunut
Unable to find expected entry 'non-free/source/Sources' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)
The simple solution is to:
gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
and delete the deb-src spotify entry.
Then apt-get update
should succeed and you can proceed to actually installing the Spotify client.
Solution 4
It must be done in terminal as root. You can get in Ubuntu 11.10 and newer, by sudo -i
. Then follow this steps:
- Open terminal and enter
sudo -i
-
Add the following line to your list of repositories by editing your
/etc/apt/sources.list
file using gedit (gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
) and save it.deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free
-
If you want to verify the downloaded packages, you will need to add our public key:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 94558F59
Run
sudo apt-get update
-
Install spotify!
sudo apt-get install spotify-client

The Spotify repository (
deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free
) doesn't work on Ubuntu 12.04 (download failed). Does anyone have a solution to install Spotify on Ubuntu 12.04?
