  • Audacity fails to run after recent system updates

    From Ar@2:250/1 to All on Thu Jan 27 20:11:31 2022
    After recent updates, the audio editor Audacity now refuses to start.
    Starting in Konsole gives the following.....

    While I've web searched and tried a few solutions to deal with the
    "critical" warnings, none have worked. Any clues on this? A full
    reboot did not solve the problem. Neither did deleting the config files
    the user creates.

    Thanks David. I read the long thread of the build error problems. I can confirm there were some updates over night, and Audacity now works. I
    can't talk about any of the other packages that have problems, as I
    don't have any of them installed / used to test them.

    Thanks for yours and the build/testers help.

    I found mine did not load this morning either but the updates were in.

    I notice that Audacity is the only launch icon that does not show a
    loading action ie the bouncing icon.

    It's only an aesthetic but these quirks are a tiny bit irritating
    I have rebooted - been caught with that one before :-)

    Tested as soon as I saw the thread and Audacity failed to run.
    Ran from the command land after I did the updates.

    We were almost in step, Bits but I launched from the GUI to no response.
    I didn't get to the CL and my update icon was already activated

    Strange. It's working on my system. I'll look into it more tomorrow, but will likely need help to figure out what's different between my system and yours.

    Mine does work, so after reading this I started again in Konsole to see
    what's going on. I got the following warnings, but nothing that stopped Audacity working as before.


    (Audacity:615598): dbind-WARNING **: 23:36:45.104: Couldn't register with accessibility bus: Did not receive a reply.

    reference; the initial floating reference is not owned by anyone
    and must be removed with g_object_ref_sink().

    Then a whole load of ALSA settings not relevant to this problem which I
    edited out.

    When I run it under plasma, the last line in the terminal is ...
    Expression 'stream->playback.pcm' failed in '/home/iurt/rpmbuild/BUILD/audacity-minsrc-2.4.2/lib-src/portaudio-v19/src/hostapi/alsa/pa_linux_alsa.c', line: 4628

    I don't get the "*** BUG ***" line or the following two.

    I logged out of plasma and into xfce4. Same result, with it working on my install.

    Mind trying a new user?

    Since I have pulseaudio running as a system wide daemon
    /usr/bin/pulseaudio --disallow-module-loading --system=yes --realtime --daemonize=no --disallow-exit
    I tend to ignore pulseaudio messages.

    I checked in one of my full up-to-date virtualbox installs where no testing packages
    have yet been installed ...

    Audacity is working in that install too.

    Do you have the 32 bit repos enabled?
