It isnt launching even the first time. Immediately throws up the debug window and does not open. I checked the permissions first and it looks ok to me. It should be .audacity-data and not audacity-data right? Doesn't the . imply that it's hidden?

Just built new install on Linux Mint 18 and everytime I try to launch Audacity I'm getting immediate debug crash log window and Audacity not launching. Per the log: 00:06:28: Audacity 2.1.2 00:06:28: Error: Impossible to get permissions for file '/home/ericmint/.audacity-data/pluginregistry.cfg' (er...

Nearly 100% I'd say for me. Has been a very long time since any opened correctly by launching the .aup or by opening it from file menu. Every time it starts importing the Ogg Vorbis and crashes during that import. I haven't tried it with a small file. Mine are almost always over 1 min and almost alw...

This is pretty much same across platforms, posting here as I use the Mac (El Capitan) more than the others, but exactly the same issue with Windows 10 and Ubuntu Studio, and Debian 8. So occasionally use the compressed copy option to save a large file that I just want to keep small for transfers. I ...

Just noticed you said you're running 10.11.3? Have you tried getting the updates? I think El Capitan is currently on 10.11.5.

Just listened to the sample and sounds like same issue I've had on my Mac Mini. I think this is related to Apple CoreAudio and not Audacity. You may want to try some of the tweaks listed in this link: https://www.native-instruments.com/en/support/knowledge-base/show/901/mac-os-x-tuning-tips-for-audi...

ok thanks. i'd like to rebuild from source and I'll try it using those instructions. i'm a bit hesitant because every time I've tried I am ending up in the cycle as posted in my thread about the issues on my Debian. Basically when i purge Audacity using apt-get it removes some of audacity dependenci...

Did you build 2.1.3-alpha yourself or where did you get it from? Generally, please do not use alpha builds of Audacity unless you actively want to test Audacity. As far as I know, there is a perfectly reasonable 2.1.2 release of Audacity that you can install from the Ubuntu repositories. Use that f...

Presumably that is the "Audacity Team Daily Build", which despite the name is a build that Ubuntu provide. So this here that wants to throw me an "update" is from Ubuntu and not you guys? I had added it months ago but just in the last couple of weeks has it been giving me these daily "updates". Fun...

weird. yes this was built from source. I have previously posted about the reasons why I had to install the alpha build..I'll put links to some of the previous threads. http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=305622#p305622 above was affecting mostly my debian based distro but this one is Ubunt...
