Description of problem: Starting audacity from a shell prompt just returns the user to the prompt with no diagnostic messages at all. Exit code is 255. This happens even with "audacity -version" eg: $ audacity -version $ echo $? 255 $ Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): audacity 2.1.1-1.fc22 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. sudo dnf install audacity 2. audacity Actual results: audacity fails to start - no errors/warnings/diagnostics. Exits with error code 255 and control returns to the shell. Expected results: audacity starts and shell waits for it to finish. Additional info: Audacity does not start when run from menus in the display manager either (Gnome, Enlightenment)
works fine if you run it with sudo
also runs as user if you rm -rf .audacity-data
Hi Brent, was this the first time you had installed Audacity on the machine ? That is, is the .audacity-data folder what this version created, or from an earlier version, and if so what version ?
Thanks Brent for the tip. I confirm that removing the old ~/.audacity-data directory solves the problem for me. According to the old audacity.cfg file the previous version was 1.3.13-beta.
