Audacity Forum

Ah, I've fixed it myself. I had installed wxWidgets from the Centos repo (and it is now called wxGTK3...) and that one linked but didn't work for audacity. After some bit of messing around, I finally uninstalled that one entirely, downloaded source from git (per one or another of the audacity docume...

here's the stack trace at the time of the segfault: Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. #0 wxWindowBase::TryBefore (this=0x21f6400, event=...) at src/common/wincmn.cpp:3397 3397 if ( event.GetEventObject() == this ) (gdb) bt #0 0x00007ff1d3c108ac in wxWindowBase::TryBefore(wx...

Just downloaded the 2.2.2 source tarball for linux, extracted it, installed several dependencies (including the sclo that provides gcc 4.9.x) and built it. there were a few warnings during the build but I didn't see any outright errors. the build culminates in a large file named "audacity", so I ass...

the linux source file is named audacity-minsrc-2.2.2.tar.xz, but when unpacked, it unpacks into a directory named audacity-minsrc-2.2.2-rc1.

Note that it ends with "rc1". Does this mean this isn't really the final release, or is it just a naming error?

thanks!

I've had similar results when something was hogging most of the cores on my CPU. It could be anything, but in my case I was running Folding At Home on 5 of the 6 cores. Simply pausing it solved the problem.

A much belated follow-up: Thanks for your assistance I have been able to capture good audio from a cassette deck and have converted a number of tapes. thanks! but one thing still puzzles me: To make it work I had to choose pulse. If I chose the USB device, it allowed only mono recording. If there is...

well. this is embarrassing. without doing the log out/in bit, I fire up audacity, and there it is, right in the toolbar where it belongs. as I think back on what I've been doing this past week I can't say for sure that it hasn't been there and that I was just too stupid/blind to see it. but I don't ...

Steve, thanks for the reply.

Trouble is, when started as you describe, pavucontrol shows the device, audacity does not. I did once, but never again since, in many attempts.

Reply to Gale's post: I have a Behringer UFO202 USB "sound card", which I hope to use to record from a phonograph and from a tape player. (I've not been able to get sound input to work, at all, on my system for recording purposes, so I purchased this device hoping it would allow me to do it.) So, I ...
