Segmentation Fault on Raspbian Jesse

Post by jbeard4 » Mon Dec 21, 2015 1:55 pm

Hello,

I am attempting to run Audacity 2.0.6 on a clean install of Raspbian Jesse. Audacity is installed through apt, and I am encountering a segmentation fault on start:

In a nutshell, Audacity doesn't officially support Raspberry Pi hardware or Pi OS'es, notably because the hardware is underpowered.

One or two developers or users have got it working after a fashion but with more recent Audacity than the obsolete version you have.

What do these terminal commands return?

arecord -l

aplay -l

Hi,

I just wanted to follow up and note that I have had better success with Ubuntu Mate 15.10 for Raspbian. https://ubuntu-mate.org/raspberry-pi/

See attached screenshot.

It was necessary to expand the root filesystem on the SD card ( /dev/mmcblk0p2) for Audacity to run without segfaulting. Now it seems to be quite stable.

it is possible that I failed to expand the root filesystem on Raspbian Jesse, which would have caused my original issue.
