I had the same issue on two different machines: one running Ubuntu 18.10 and the other one Ubuntu 19.04. On both machines I've installed it by downloading the .deb package from official site. Now I tried to install it manually, following these instructions, and now it works fine. It seems that the .deb package is broken.

I am experiencing the same issue using Fedora 30 with the official rpm, Fedora 29 worked fine.

Update: The rpms provided in #3548 do work for me (but the 32/64 links are swapped with i386 and amd64).

I am experiencing the same issue using Fedora 30 with the official rpm, Fedora 29 worked fine.

I am having the same issue on Fedora 29 (64 bit). It used to work, although I can't remember if it was on 28 or 29.

[magnofrey]

Same issue here in Ubuntu 19.04

[MichalKrasno]

This worked:

Now I tried to install it manually, following these instructions, and now it works fine.

But it installed version 4.4.0, whereas current is 4.6.1 ... seems like there's a regression in the current version on Ubuntu 19.04 (at least)

[joemort]

This didn't used to be a problem for me, but recently I had to relaunch after taking some sort of updates on debian and now I get a segfault every time.

I was able to solve it by rolling back to the 4.5.0 binaries, everything newer than that segfaulted on startup.

HACK MarshallOfSound to download an UP-TO-DATE package with this SIMPLE TRICK! (DOCTORS HATE HIM!)

Now that I have your attention:

I wanted to see if the latest build from master fixes the segfault bug, but there's an obvious lack of download links to up-to-date packages. My findings were:

• docs/Installation_On_Debian.md describes how to install from the release repository, but unfortunately the most recent build there is actually 4.4. Doesn't segfault, but no, just no. I want to live dangerously.

• 3548 has some links to RC builds, but those are from 2019-04-23. Relying on the author to edit a list of URLs by hand after each commit is obviously not a future-proof way of publishing links to dev builds. (Not blaming the authors here, btw, no one can reasonably demand that they should keep up with such manual edits IMHO. It's just not how things should work.)

• CircleCI actually has up-to-date package builds! But even though this method works if you're logged into CircleCI, the "Artifacts" tab which contains the download links is hidden if you're not.

So here's how you can download the latest package from CircleCI without having to log in:

TL;DR

Navigate to https://circleci.com/gh/MarshallOfSound/Google-Play-Music-Desktop-Player-UNOFFICIAL-/tree/master and look at the topmost successful build. There's a build number on the right side of the green "success" button. As I'm writing this the number is 3366, it increments on each new build.

Select a link from the list below. None of them actually work as-is because the build number is replaced by the infinity emoji ♾️. Replace the emoji with the build number and you have a working download URL.

[silentdis]

@imaami Thank you so much! Back up and fully working on Kubuntu 19.04 :)

[GregoryConrad]

I don't know if this helps, but the latest version available on https://www.googleplaymusicdesktopplayer.com/ worked on Ubuntu 18.04, but then when I upgraded to Ubuntu 19.04, I get a Segmentation fault (core dumped) when I run google-play-music-desktop-player from the command line.

[JeffAlyanak]

The latest version pulled from CircleCI works for me on Debian 10.

[tarka]

Confirmed, CircleCI build of 908be22 works for me on Ubuntu 19.04.

[lanceofwhichwedream]

For a while this had been fixed for me, but looks like the error came back. Still on the same debian derivative

[lanceofwhichwedream]

Moved over to Ubuntu 19.10 and this issue is still present in the version available from snap

Additionally, the workaround method posted by @imaami is resulting in 400 error as well.

Looks like this is fixed in version 4.7.1. Big props to @MarshallOfSound !!! Appreciate you and your hard work!
