I am having an issue opening Spotify. Whenever, I type 

spotify

in the terminal I get this message

snap-confine has elevated permissions and is not confined but should be. Refusing to continue to avoid permission escalation attacks

I then type in the terminal, the following commands,

sudo apt purge snapd snap-confine && sudo apt install -y snapd

Then I reinstall Spotify using snap install spotify This resolves the issue, but only temporarily because when I restart my device, the same issue occurs, and I have to do this process every time I restart. Please suggest a solution.

  • Are you willing to install from Spotify's repository, instead of as a Snap package?

  • @TomBrossman When I search for Spotify in the Ubuntu software repository, it says No Application Found
