Spotify not responding, won't start

[Marco van der Grient]

Hi,
Thank you for your answer.
No changes when I delete the cache and config dirs.
To be more verbose when starting spotify I used a program called "gdb" 
for the first time.

@tulp ~ $ gdb spotify
GNU gdb (GDB) 7.8.1

[bla bla].

(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/bin/spotify
warning: Could not load shared library symbols for linux-vdso.so.1.
Do you need "set solib-search-path" or "set sysroot"?
/usr/bin/spotify: /usr/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0: no version information 
available (required by /usr/bin/spotify)
/usr/bin/spotify: /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0: no version information

20:10:37.614 I [translate.cpp:139               ] Reloading language file

(gdb)

I doubt the usefulness of it. Some one has a better idea for debugging 
spotify?
Regards,
Marco
