Did you uninstall 2.0.5 first?lightweight wrote:Ok, tried scrubbing my cfg file and upgrading to 2.1.1 via the PPA... no change in behaviour - in fact Audacity crashes after churning for 10 min, still no visible feedback through interface - I just watch the virtual RAM increasing (no appreciable change to disk space)... *sigh*
The problem could be in some library that Linux Mint provide. Are you on a 64-bit or 32-bit computer?
A solution to a library problem might be to compile Audacity yourself from the full source tarball, configuring wherever possible with local rather than system libraries.
Just as a point of reference, if you Generate > Tone of 1 hour, export as WAV (Microsoft) 16-bit PCM, then import the WAV, what happens?
