Thanks. I'll see if it works as the default Audacity program is still the one that doesn't point to the external drives.

So I found a work-around: I opened one of the files on my external drives with Audacity. The "open with" drop down menu gave me two versions of the program (indistinguishable from each other in that menu.) I chose one, Audacity opened, but gave me an error message that it couldn't find the folder/fi...

The Linux system and all other programs on the system have no trouble finding the drives, and these are the same Windows and Linux versions I used before the crash. Anything is worth a try, though, but I'm running out of time right now. I'll post again the next time I can get to the computer. Thanks...

I usually restart the computer to go from Win to Ubuntu and back, but I did a hard shutdown and there's no difference. I should have responded to your point about running Audacity from an external drive: I don't. Windows and Ubuntu have separate installations, both on the C drive in their respective...

Hadn't before, but I just did try that and got "Could not read contents of Seagate Backup Plus Drive" and the following error message: Error opening directory '/media/ira/Seagate Backup Plus Drive': Permission denied. I went to the drive properties; I was already authorized to R/W. I edited 'permiss...

Here's the result of lsblk. The Seagate and Iomega are the external drives.

PS: I downloaded from the Audacity website and installed via terminal on my system.

I've just reinstalled Audacity 2.3.3 after a hard drive crash. I'm using Linux/Ubuntu 18.04. (I have a dual boot system with Win 10 as the 2nd OS, and this problem does not exist on the Windows version of Audacity.) Although the Linux system is able to see, open and work with my two external hard dr...

Well, my image doesn't appear, so I'll need help on how to load that too. Sorry.

Friends: I'm having the same trouble recording and playing through HDMI. I'm using Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS, and Audacity 2.2.2. Here's the screenshot of the imported music played and paused, and the PAVU playback screen. I can't record from my HDMI connection. (I also don't know how to insert the screens...
