Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/issues/803

System Information:
OS: Linux Mint (Debian/Ubuntu based)
spotify-player version: v0.20.7

Problem Description:
The application silently and immediately exits upon launch. This occurs with both the pre-compiled release binary and after a successful fresh compilation from the v0.20.7 source code. No errors or warnings are printed to the console.

Steps to Reproduce:

On a clean Linux Mint system, installed all required dependencies: sudo apt install libssl-dev libasound2-dev libdbus-1-dev.
Downloaded the source code for v0.20.7.
Ran cargo build --release. The build completes successfully with only a few minor warnings.
Executed the resulting binary: ./target/release/spotify_player.

Expected Behavior:
The TUI (Terminal User Interface) should launch.

Actual Behavior:
The command exits immediately with no output. The shell prompt returns instantly.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken:
Confirmed all dependencies are installed.
Cleared config and cache folders (~/.config/spotify-player and ~/.cache/spotify-player).
Ran the application with RUST_BACKTRACE=1 environment variable, which produced no output.
Tested with CLI commands (e.g., playback start liked), which also had no effect.
Tested in different terminal emulators (GNOME Terminal, Alacritty).

The issue seems to be a low-level incompatibility that causes the application to exit cleanly before the TUI can be rendered.

im using Mint and i have no issues. What mint version are you on and what do the logs show? what "minor" errors are you getting when the program finishes compiling? did you installed the correct rustup previous to the other dependencies?
please run rustc --version on your terminal and post the result.
