Audacity Crashes

[obnascar]

There is not much other info that I can provide other than when i try to import mp4 files it crashes my Audacity. The first time I tried it crashed, then when I re-launched Audacity it asked if I want to recover the files, I chose to and it did recover the files I had loaded. But after that first try it no longer does any recovery, it just crashes. I did a search of the forums and have seen comments that Audacity just plain works in Pardus without adding any libraries or front/back ends.

I seem to be the only one that has these crashes.......any ideas anyone ?

Hello obnascar,

can you please start Audacity from console and give the output here.

In a terminal it shows

command not found

.....ha ha ! But when I launch it from the menu it opens but then when I try to do anything with it.....it crashes.

What command did you type?

Code:

audacity

?

[obnascar]

sorry, I used Audacity instead of audacity. But anyway it launched ok with no errors to report. But same thing when I try to import a mp4 it crashes.

But same thing when I try to import a mp4 it crashes.

Then I would write a Bug-Report 

[obnascar]

Ok, thanks Andreas !

[Andreas]

You should added there to the list with your mail-adress.

Meanwhile, you can erase the configuration repository (or rename it). It sometimes does the job.

Code:

rm -f ~/.audacity-data/

thanks much

No problem.

In the mean time as a work around......install soundconverter and convert your mp4 files to ogg and everything works
