The "deb" version (Audacity 2.3.3) is the current Linux build from Debian. Ubuntu is based on Debian and uses many packages from Debian. Debian builds frequently lag behind the latest releases but are generally well tested. The 3.0 version is (probably) a Flatpak build. Flatpak is intended...

I also have this problem with Xubuntu. There is a solution, but it may require changing display settings for other apps. 1. Open "Settings > Appearance" from the Apps menu. 2. Open the "Fonts" tab and de-select (remove the tick) from "Custom DPI settings". 3. Increase t...

The quickest way to check if you have write access to a folder is to create a new document there.


Another possibility is that your computer may have security software preventing the Audacity installer from installing.

When I dl the punchpaste.ny and punchcopy.ny and then click to open it These are "Nyquist plug-ins". You do not "open" them, you need to "install" them, and then "enable" them in Audacity. Instructions for macOS are here: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/i...

Are you able to install other apps?

You may have been lucky in the past, but it has always been risky to run an Audacity project on a network drive. Recording to a network drive is particularly risky as network drives do not guarantee how long it will take to exchange data - if Audacity gets too far ahead of the drive, then data is dr...

they match exactly Super :) 1. Ensure that you are logged into your computer with your normal user account. 2. Move the Audacity installer EXE to your desktop, then double click on it to run it. You should be prompted to give permission for the installation. Depending on how your PC is set up you m...
