Moderator: Moved to GNU/Linux board
I have been using Audacity for many years under various versions of Mandriva Linux, and it has always worked fine. However, since using Mandriva 2011, it will only work first time after computer startup. After this if I click the record button, it will show the track areas, but recording will not start. If I stop and restart Audacity the same thing happens, the log then shows as follows:

This error keeps logging until I shut down Audacity. If I reboot the computer, everything works fine first time round, then behaves as above. The error makes me think that it is tied up with the operating system rather than Audacity. Can anyone help?
