Alright so, I'm not very well versed with Linux and programming and whatnot, but spotify didn't work at first because of the well-known lock files problem. My girlfriend wrote a script for me that deletes the lock files every time I shut down my pc and it's been working fine, until now. Now even with reinstalling spotify completely, it never boots anymore, even when it's completely wiped from my hard drive. The script still runs perfectly fine every time I shut down my pc and the lock files are visibly not present anymore, but it just does not open at all anymore.
Swapped to Riff as an alternative for a bit, but it's very limited in its usability, so I want to try tackling this problem again.
Even my compsci student girlfriend is stumped on this. Any ideas? Am I the only one who is having trouble post lock file treatment?
