Hi all,
until today, Audacity opened and ran just fine.
Tonight, opening for the first time, it gave a crash notice (see below). I opened it from the terminal and it still crashed. However, a crash report was created that involved a few different files. Where/how can I post this info for help?
Thanks!
brian
Are you still using Audacity 2.1.2?
We can’t tell anything from that screenshot. Please attach the generated ZIP file. It’s in /tmp/. If you can’t find it, make Audacity crash again and note the location of the ZIP file when Audacity tells you.
Please see here for how to attach files: https://forum.audacityteam.org/t/how-to-attach-files-to-forum-posts/24026/1
However if you added a plugin, it could be that.
And simply deleting the entire ~/.audacity-data/ folder to do a complete reset of your settings and registered plugins could get Audacity going again.

Hi Gale,
thanks for your post. I tried deleting the ~/.audacity-data folder and restarting, but still got the crash. I’ve attached the .zip file here.
Thanks!

Where did this Audacity 2.1.2 come from, exactly? Did you build it yourself? Did you install it, if so, where? Where are you executing Audacity from?
It appears to be a permissions problem:
15:45:06: Audacity 2.1.2
15:45:06: Error: Impossible to get permissions for file ‘/home/brian/.audacity-data/pluginregistry.cfg’ (error 2: No such file or directory)
If you installed 2.1.2, open a new terminal window and just type
audacity

I tried running from the terminal, and got this:
brian@brian-BM5242-BM5342-BM5642:~$ audacity
(Audacity:10211): Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_disable_setlocale() must be called before gtk_init()
lo server running on 18886
The version I’m running I got from the repositories (Ubuntu), version: 2.1.2-1
brian
I don’t know if the permissions error that was noticed is the cause or a symptom.
Have you installed KXStudio or JACK before the problem started?
You can also ask on the Ubuntu forums if there is any significance in the lo server message. I don’t see that message launching Audacity on Ubuntu 14.04.
Gale
Yes, I installed the KXStudio repos before I had any problems. In fact, all was working perfectly fine with Audacity until just the other day. I really don’t know what I did that would cause it to not open.
Perhaps I should try re-installing Audacity?
brian
You said you had already deleted the ~/.audacity-data folder, so it is not a settings problem.
Yes it’s possible that uninstalling the 2.1.2 repository package then reinstalling it “might” fix the permissions problem, if that’s what it is.
It could be that some KXStudio application that is running is causing the problem.
It could even be that to make Audacity work with KXStudio you need to actually start over. Get rid of Ubuntu 16.04 and install the KXStudio 14.04 distribution that comes with Audacity. I can’t help you with that. You will need to contact Ubuntu or KXStudio.
Gale
Hi again,
I tried re-installing, and then I ran audacity in the terminal and got the following. Hope this helps to solve this –
audacity

Reinstalling what? What version of Audacity are you running now and where exactly did you obtain it?
What does “About This Computer” say about your operating system?
My suggestion was that you install the actual KXStudio distribution based on Ubuntu 14.04 (which I assume will give you an older version of Audacity), or uninstall KXStudio and see if Audacity runs after rebooting the machine. If in doubt, ask KXStudio for help, given the problem started with them.
Gale
What I meant was, I tried reinstalling the Audacity package in the repositories, but it changed nothing. I also tried removing all the KXStudio repositories and rebooting and then reinstalling Audacity again, but I still get the same crash errors.
My version of Audacity is 2.1.2-1
Downgrading to 14.04 is not really the road I want to go down. Isn’t there a way to fix this bug?
Maybe I should try installing a previous version, from source? (I don’t see any previous versions available in the repositories.)
brian
Audacity is not responsible for packages in the Ubuntu repositories, only for our source code.
Ask KXStudio to be sure you have fully uninstalled their products. The problem started when you used their products, after all.
Try turning off all other audio applications before launching Audacity. See this advice about the Audio Group in Ubuntu, in case KXStudio changed something.
I build Audacity (HEAD, latest development code) on Ubuntu 16.04 and Audacity launches properly.
If there are problems with the Audacity version in the Ubuntu repositories, please report such issue to Ubuntu.
Gale
I decided to switch to AntiX, partly because I really need Audacity, partly to get a bit more speed.
As such, I added the KXStudio repositories and the current version I have of Audacity is 2.0.6. It works fine, except that the input/output devices don’t include the dropdown windows, so I have to go into preferences and select the input source there.
Not a big deal, I’m just happy to have Audacity working again! 
brian
If you look at Help > About Audacity… , Build Information tab, is it built with wxWidgets 2.8.x or 3.x.x? If with 3.x.x, you may receive more problems, because Audacity 2.0.6 is not designed to be built with wx3.x.x.
Gale
It’s built with 2.0.6-2
Is this a stable version? If so, I’m happy with using it as is.
brian
2.0.6-2 is the internal Audacity version number.
As I said, you can check the wxWidgets version at Help > About Audacity…, then click the “Build Information” tab. The wxWidgets version is listed under “Core Libraries”.
Gale
Found it! :
wxWidgets 3.0.2

So there will be many bugs and possible crashes: Missing features - Audacity Support.
It was Canonical’s decision to build Audacity 2.0.6 with a version of wxWidgets it does not support.
The problems you had with Audacity 2.1.2 on Ubuntu 16.04 were I think some kind of packaging/library problem which was not Audacity’s fault.
If the problems with 2.0.6 worry you then you could build 2.0.6 or 2.1.2 yourself from source code. Personally I would build and install wxWidgets 2.8.12 (if you want Audacity 2.0.6) or wxWidgets 3.0.2 (if you want Audacity 2.1.2) then build Audacity against that local build of wxWidgets, rather than try to build 2.1.2 against system wxWidgets 3.0.2 which is your other alternative.
