Audacity1.3.12-Beta Crashing in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

[kpdxham]

I just installed Audacity via Synaptic Package Manager on a fresh Ubuntu 10.04 install (with updates). If I start Audacity, then try to resize the Audacity window, my whole desktop crashes and brings me back to the Ubuntu user Login. I've tried this twice now.
I'm not sure if this is a problem with Audacity or Ubuntu yet.
I used Audacity with Ubuntu 9.10 via WINE and had no problems at all.
At this point I plan to remove Audacity, then reinstall in WINE.

Well.. Apparently I didn't have Audacity installed via WINE as I thought.
After my previous post, I un-installed Audacity, then tried installing through Ubuntu Software Center, but this just does the same thing as the Synaptic Package Manager from what I can tell since I got the same crash results.
Then found instructions like this:

sudo apt-get install audacity

sudo apt-get install libmp3lame0

I did this, and so far no crashes.
The only problem I see so far is that "Cannot Control Input Level; Use System Mixer"
So I went to System, Preferences, Sound and adjusted there.

Synaptic should solve the dependencies problems the same way as apt-get...

Whether lame is installed or not shouldn't have any effect on resizing windows...

Running audacity windows version under wine in linux is a complete non-sense

If you get the input slider grayed out in audacity that means audacity was unable to take over the input volume adjusting. That's normal behaviour and often happens in Linux... Depends on which sound architecture your system is using... Being ubuntu, should be being managed by pulseaudio. So you'll have to open some pulseaudio mixer (probably your default sound control panel mixer) and adjust the input volume there... It might be a bit annoying but there's not much you can do there...
