Hello,
A I am new in this forum, here’s a little presentation : my name is Christian, I live in Switzerland (french) and I’ve been using linux for 7 or 8 years now - first Ubuntu and now Debian for about a year. I am interested in computer but I am no expert. I also play saxophone, which is why I’m trying to recored myself with Audacity.
My problem : when trying to record myself with a usb microphone (Zoom H2), it records for a few minutes and the it crashes and a black screen full of error messages appears (see picture)
Here are some infos, I hope nothing’s missing :
Debian 7.1

Things I tried
- I don’t use jack, but it’s installed and working. I tried to record when jack is started with the same result.
- I installed Audacity 2.0.4-alpha with this page : http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/CompilingAudacityForBeginners#Compiling_on_Unix_for_total_beginners it still crashes after a few minutes (I removed it and reinstalled 2.01 so that it’s updated with apt-get).
- There was no room left in /var/tmp/audacity_tmp, so I moved it in my home (audacity preferences) where there is 119 GO left and I cleaned the root / with this page : http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/nettoyer_ubuntu, still no results.
Thanks a lot to all the people who’ll try to help
Christian
