Note that PPA packages are not intended for production use.
If you want to test the most recent code, you should build Audacity from the current SVN source code.
For “production” use you should use the current release version for your system, or build Audacity from the latest release source code (available here: http://audacityteam.org/download/source)
I already have the Audacity PPA installed in Linux Mate 13 and Linux XFCE 13. Works fine but I will take your advice and reinstall Audacity with the current release, and disable the Audacity PPA. Thanks again!!
Should I install Audacity from the Sofware Center in Linux Mint or should I head on over to the Audacity page and install the latest version from there? I’m not sure if the latest Audacity release is in the repos yet.
The current version of Audacity is 2.0.2
There are few functional differences from 2.0 to 2.0.2 so if there is any 2.x version in the repository I would suggest that you try that.
OK. I will. I installed the latest version in the Ubuntu repos, but for future reference, what are the steps to compile the latest version after downloading and extracting the Audacity folder and then compiling it?
“apt” is looking in the locations (sources) that are defined in your “sources list” (the list of available repositories).
Have you disabled the Audacity PPA?
To open (read only) the sources list:
gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
If you don’t have gedit installed, use any other text editor.
