A minor regression from the Spotify .deb to the snap is that I just see an icon containing cogs when I hit Alt-Tab (in GNOME Shell on Ubuntu 17.10) instead of the Spotify logo which I used to see.
Not a big deal, but thought I’d flag it up.
Restarting my session (via a reboot for a new kernel) seems to have addressed this.
(Though spotify still isn’t on the path for Alt-F2, I had to type /snap/bin/spotify; I wonder if the two are related?)
What’s the output from which spotify?
In a shell it works fine, but I get “Command not found” when I type just “spotify” in the “Enter a Command” menu via Alt-F2.
Strange, Alt+F2 works here too. What does your $PATH look like?
alan@deep-thought:~$ echo $PATH
/home/alan/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/snap/bin:/var/lib/snapd/snap/bin
So I think this was a problem with using the Wayland session, which is no longer going to be the default in 18.04. So I think we’re good now.
