The problem was reported earlier this week, but somehow never got to the forum. There’s a problem with spotify snap on Arch and Manjaro, version 1.1.26.501.gbe11e53b-15. The app dumps core during startup.
I’ve tried to assemble some information from the backtrace:

The problem was reported to Spotify forums: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Linux/Spotify-Snap-randomly-stopped-working/td-p/4901987 There are also threads in distro forums:
- Arch: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1888419
- Manjaro: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/spotify-suddenly-not-working/125237
From investigation during the week, the problem does not appear on Fedora, openSUSE or Ubuntu.
Flatpak is currently at the same version, and it seems to work locally. I’ve tried running it directly from the snap, and it works too. Could there be something weird that we do?
