Firefox/Spotify unusable after updating to Ubuntu 23.04

After updating from Ubuntu 22.10 to 23.04, both Firefox and Spotify snaps were broken.

This is how Spotify looks:

I could fix Firefox by forcing it to use its Wayland backend. But I’m still unable to fix Spotify.

I looked into journalctl and found this (look at the line that mentions amdgpu):

This seems the same issue as I'm unsure if a parallel install caused my desktop/AMD GPU driver to crash

It looks related to this Launchpad bug: Hardware acceleration broken for amdgpu/mesa in snap

Thanks for that :slight_smile:

This issue may be caused by a compatibility problem between the new version of Ubuntu and the snap packages for Firefox and Spotify.

To resolve this issue, users can try uninstalling and reinstalling the affected snap packages

I tried that and didn´t work. The only workaround I found for Spotify is to use the deb version.
