Can you produce the crash for other operations? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the audio part.
(In reply to comment #1) > Can you produce the crash for other operations? It doesn't seem to have anything > to do with the audio part. I did produce the crash again. I opened up Audacity via terminal and opened up RealPlayer and I proceeded to record a stream from www.orbitalgrooves.com. I let is record until lik 11min. and it crashed. Below is the results...

I cannot reproduce this behaviour. Anyway this is an X error, maybe related to drawing the wave during a long recording... Please report this upstream.

I got the same message while running gtk-gnutella. Seems to me it's an X issue in FC6. I also notice that Firefox randomly quits; no error messages at all but I suspect it's related. The program 'gtk-gnutella' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'.

It might be a problem with the chosen gtk theme. Try again with ClearLooks for example.
Tried with ClearLooks, same problem. I believe this is the same issue as in these bugs, maybe someone wants to consolidate them? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=222776 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=191575
Somebody has reported this upstream, too: http://limpet.net/audacity/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=261
The bug referenced here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=222776 has been resolved. Per suggested that this bug is related to the above referenced bug. Perhaps the cause for this bug is the same as the above referenced bug.
Indeed, my problems have not recurred since I added Load "extmod" back into the "Module" section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf as suggested in the other bug. I think it got removed by Nvidia's installer; proprietary graphics card driver users beware.
Can we get confirmation from the original reporter, please, that the work-around from comment 11 also makes the problem go away with Audacity?

I was able to record a full vinyl album (one side) which totalled around 20-22 min. and recorded a radio station for about 30 min. and Audacity did not crash. While recording I was opening and closing and adding filters to a track and Audacity did not crash. Audacity did crash at one point when I was about to record, but was not able to reproduce the behaviour at the moment. I agree with Per (comment #11) about the nvidia driver installer. It removes every thing from the Module section of the xorg.conf except the Load "glx" module. Thank you.
The quoted X errors are not related to Audacity and cannot be fixed inside the Audacity packages. For other crashes during recording with Audacity, open separate tickets and append a backtrace.
