Help! Audacity 2.0.4 crashes!

Bonjour,
Au secours, à l’aide! J’ai téléchargé la toute nouvelle version d’Audacity 2.0.4, l’ai installée à coté de ses grands frères 2.0.0 et 2.0.2 qui cohabitaient jusqu’à présent paisiblement et s’ouvraient alternativement sans problème tournant comme une horloge suisse.
Lancement de 2.0.4, la fenêtre s’ouvre, oh joie, et voilà que 2.0.4 plante dès la première tentative d’ouverture d’un fichier. J’ai redémarré l’OS, vérifié les préférences, toutes les “libraires” étaient reconnues et activées, toutes les préférences étaient reprises des versions précédentes, rien n’y a fait: crash, crash et re-crash. J’ai désinstallé 2.0.0 et 2.0.2, les ai mis dans la corbeille pensant qu’il s’agissait d’un conflit de génération, laissant 2.0.4 seul à la manoeuvre: hélas, trois fois hélas, crash crash et plantage se succèdent. J’ai désinstallé 2.0.4, l’ai mis à la corbeille et installé la version 2.0.3, trouvée difficilement car la 2.0.0 et 2.0.2 ne sont plus disponibles sur le site d’Audacity. La 2.0.3 tourne sans problème.
Quel est le problème avec 2.0.4? Y a-t-il une manipulation que j’ignore qu’il faut effectuer? Merci de me sortir de la panade!

Mon système: Mac OSX 10.6.8
P.S. Curieusement lors d’une de mes nombreuses tentatives 2.0.4 a ouvert un fichier mp3 ou Ogg/vorbis mais a planté immédiatement dès l’ouverture ou l’importation suivante

Hello,
Help, help! I downloaded the newest version of Audacity 2.0.4, installed it next to his big brothers 2.0.0 and 2.0.2 which coexisted peacefully so far and opened alternately turning smoothly as clockwork Swiss.
Launch of 2.0.4, the window opens, oh joy, and 2.0.4 crashes with the first attempt to open a file. I rebooted the OS, checked the preferences, all “libraries” were recognized and activated, all preferences were included in previous versions, nothing did: crash, crash and re-crash. I uninstalled 2.0.0 and 2.0.2, put them in the trash thinking it was a generational conflict, leaving only 2.0.4 operating: alas, three times alas, crash, crash and crash after another. I uninstalled 2.0.4, have trashed it and installed version 2.0.3, found difficult because 2.0.0 and 2.0.2 are no longer available on the Audacity site. 2.0.3 runs smoothly.
What is wrong with 2.0.4? Is there a manipulation which I ignore to do ? Thank you to get out of the pap!

PS Curiously during one of my many attempts 2.0.4 opened an mp3 or Ogg / Vorbis file ,but crashed immediately upon next file opening or importing

Ça marche!
J’ai mis 2.0.5 à coté de 2.0.2 (que j’ai pu récupérer sur le disque de sauvegarde-merci Time Machine-); 2.0.5 a reconnu son grand frère sauf la bibliothèque LADSPA. Faut-il la télécharger spécifiquement pour 2.0.5?.
Merci pour le lien et d’avoir répondu si vite.

It works!
I put 2.0.5 near to 2.0.2 (I could recover it on the backup disk, thanks Time Machine) 2.0.5 acknowledged his big brother except the LADSPA library. Should I download LADSPA plug-in specifically for 2.0.5?.
Thank you for the link and for responding so quickly.

Thank you for testing. Please note you may still receive some crashes when importing files. It is not a complete fix.

The following hints may reduce the problem of import crashes.

  • Reboot the computer frequently.
  • If you can, avoid importing files into Audacity that have symbols or accented characters either in the file name or in the names of the folders the file is in. Also avoid manipulating such files in Finder. Name files and folders with numbers and a to z characters (upper case letters are OK).
  • Don’t use File > Open or Command - n and don’t launch Audacity by dragging files to its icon. This causes the import to occur in a new window which may make the problem happen more often. Double-click Audacity.app to launch it, then use File > Import Audio… .

The build you downloaded should see LADSPA plug-ins in either of these system locations:

~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/LADSPA
/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/LADSPA

You can also move your LADSPA plug-ins into the Plugins folder in the new Audacity build.

If you need the LADSPA plug-ins again, you can download them here:
http://audacity.googlecode.com/files/swh-plugins-mac-0.4.15.zip .

If you can translate the file import hints above for your fellow users, it would be appreciated. Thank you.

Merci pour les tests. Veuillez noter que vous pouvez toujours recevoir quelques accidents lors de l’importation des fichiers. Il n’est pas une solution complète.

Les conseils suivants peuvent atténuer le problème des collisions d’importation.

• Redémarrez l’ordinateur fréquemment.
• Si vous le pouvez, éviter d’importer des fichiers dans Audacity qui ont des symboles ou des caractères accentués dans le nom de fichier ou dans les noms des dossiers le fichier est po Evitez également manipuler ces fichiers dans le Finder.Des noms de fichiers et de dossiers avec des chiffres et des caractères de A à Z (majuscules sont OK).
• Ne pas utiliser Fichier> Ouvrir ou Commande - n et ne lancez pas Audacity en faisant glisser des fichiers vers son icône. Cela fait que l’'importation se produit dans une nouvelle fenêtre et que le problème se produise plus souvent. Double-cliquez sur Audacity.app pour le lancer, puis utilisez la commande Fichier> Importer Audio … .

Le build que vous avez téléchargé devrait voir LADSPA plug-ins dans l’un de ces emplacements du système:

~ / Bibliothèque / Audio / Plug-Ins / LADSPA
/ Bibliothèque / Audio / Plug-Ins / LADSPA

Vous pouvez aussi déplacer votre LADSPA plug-ins dans le dossier Plugins dans la nouvelle Audacity construire.

Si vous avez besoin du plug-ins LADSPA encore, vous pouvez les télécharger ici:
http://audacity.googlecode.com/files/sw … 0.4.15.zip ‬.

Si vous pouvez traduire les fichiers d’importation conseils ci-dessus pour vos autres utilisateurs, il serait apprécié. Je vous remercie.

Hello,

(Mac) When done right click open with audacity on a wav, mp3 … Audacity opens, but the file does not open … :mrgreen:

Thank you. We only found that out after 2.0.4 release, but we do not have a solution yet.


Gale

OK !
For Information this operation worked fine with version 2,0,3
We will wait, it must not be easy to solve. Thank you for your work.

bonjour,
J’ai le meme problème, avec MacBook Pro 2,5GHz Intel Core i7, OX 10.7.5, 8 Go Ram. J’avais fini par mettre une croix sur le fait d’utiliser Audacity sur mon Mac quand j’ai vu l’annonce de la sortie de la version 2.0.4, je me suis pressé de la télécharger me disant que j’étais victime d’un bug de la precedante version. 2.0.4 me fait la meme chose: Crash au démarrage. Je suis ce qui ce dit ici et charge la 2.0.5. Meme résultat au démarrage. Que ce passe-t-il? Suis-je maudit?
J’utilise pourtant Amadeus, Peak, Logic, Live, Reaktor, sans aucun problème.

Je ne parle pas français.

Crash au démarrage à cause de plug-ins.

Joindre SVP le Mac rapport de crash, ou essayer gaclrecords.org.uk .

Si gaclrecords.org.uk a également le crash, joindre SVP le Mac rapport de cette accident.

The problems with import crashes and files not opening should now be solved and so will be fixed in the next 2.0.5 release in a couple of weeks or so. If you need the fixes now, please download http://www.audacity.homerow.net/cgi-bin/dl?mac/audacity-nightly-2013.09.30-03.15/audacity-macosx-ub-2.0.5.zip .

Hello Gale.
Thanx for your answer
I’m sorry for the disturbance, first I did a mistake, second you told that you didn’t speak french so i tried to explain my problem again but this time in english.
I tried this one: http://gaclrecords.org.uk/test-builds/audacity-r12571-plus-defer-au-load-ub-2.0.5.zip
and, oh, what a good surprise it launched without a crash!!!
Thank you very much
Now i have to go ahead in using the soft to see if all works good.
I will stay you in touch.
Gerome

Thank you for writing in English. Actually you posted your complaint again three times after both your posts had already been replied to. :wink:

Here is a tip. Make sure at the bottom of your topic that you are subscribed to that topic. Then the Forum will e-mail you as soon as anyone replies to the topic.

Thank you for testing. Please note in that “r12571 plus” version you will not be able to open projects by double-clicking AUP files, or to open files with Finder “Open with” or to drag files to the Audacity icon. Open files with the Audacity menus instead. This is already fixed, but the plug-in load problem that is fixed in “r12571 plus” is not committed to our code yet.

If you need to open files as in the above paragraph, here is what to do. Start the “r12571 plus” version, open Audacity > Preferences, choose Effects, then uncheck “Audio Unit” under “Enable Effects” and click OK. Then you can run http://www.audacity.homerow.net/cgi-bin/dl?mac/audacity-nightly-2013.09.30-03.15/audacity-macosx-ub-2.0.5.zip instead.

Pour Nox, normalement la version 2,0,3 marche sans encombres sur le mac. j’ai la version Mountain Lion 10.8.5 mais ça fonctionne sans problèmes. Sur Lion également, je n’avais pas de soucis. ???

Jeff

If you use this http://www.audacity.homerow.net/cgi-bin/dl?mac/audacity-nightly-2013.10.13-03.15/audacity-macosx-ub-2.0.5.zip all the issues should be fixed.


Gale

Pour musimage: Je suis sur Lion, j’avais aussi essayé 2.0.3, cela ne marchait pas non plus. mais maintenant tout va bien avec la version que m’a conseillé Gale.

Hi Gale,

I’ll write in English so you may understand more easily.

OSX 10.8.5
Audacity 2.0.4 and 2.0.5a
Variaty of workstations (2013 and 2012 iMac)
All are using French OS

I re-installed the application and got everything to work on multiple machines. Tested logout and login and it worked fine. The following day Audacity began to experience the exact same issues where Audacity either crashes or won’t open files. I’ve followed all recommendations including removing any non alpha numeric characters.

Suddenly after downloading the attachment in the link above but not installing , not logging out, not restarting , I am now able to open mp3 and WAV files using the right click only. This is only working on one machine for the moment. The users and the manager are getting fed up and to be honest so am I. We need to isolate this quickly. Is there anything that I can do to help troubleshoot? I can send crash report or any other logs that you may require.

At this time I’m not sure if I should try and get it working on the other 4 workstations, since I didn’t even do anything to resolve the issue.

Audacity 2.0.5 is due for release in a matter of days. It will probably be worth waiting for that release before updating any of your machines.

If you wished to be notified by e-mail when 2.0.5 is released, you can register at the bottom of the Audacity home page: http://audacityteam.org/

I suggest you try the 2.0.5rc1 release candidate from https://forum.audacityteam.org/t/audacity-2-0-5-release-candidate-2-available-for-testing/31389/1 . If there are no major reported problems with it, that build will become the 2.0.5 release. Install it on one machine and test it. If it works it should be OK to install it on all machines.

We don’t need any crash reports from 2.0.4 or older 2.0.5-alpha.


Thanks

Gale

La nouvelle version (2.0.5rc1) semble résoudre tous nos problèmes.

The newest version (2.0.5rc1) seems to solve all of our problems.

Merci!
