Linux Audacity v 3.0.2 Won't Start/Segmentation Fault/ALSA issues on Debian 10 ('Buster'/MX Linux 19.3) #1170
Comments

Which version of cmake do you have? The default for Buster is 3.13, which is too old. The current Audacity code requires CMake 3.15 or higher. |

I'm also seeing the Segmentation fault after building 8d0487e on Debian Stable. |

A workaround is to disable FFMPEG temporarily. I.e. pass |

Describe the bug
The latest release of Audacity (version 3.0.2) won't launch after being manually built following the directions provided in the current source code "BUILDING.md" filse. There seems to be an issue with ALSA and this causes a "Segmentation fault" and the program will not launch.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior (the following commands are successfully executed without issue):
*** See full output of 'make' here. (some warnings about statements being depreciated are given but overall it is successful.)
Finally, I go to launch Audacity but receive the following error messages:
Expected behavior
Audacity will launch.
Screenshots
No GUI to show - see errors in commands/code above.
Additional information (please complete the following information):
Additional System Details:
Additional context - things I have tried:
I saw a suggestion in another Audacity support forum post to build the application with the "--disable-dynamic-loading" flag but cannot get that flag to work:
I tried installing Audacity 3.0.2 using a snap package and it installs quickly and easily and will launch. However, it seems that it is difficult to install any plug-ins if Audacity is installed via snap package, so I removed the snap-installed Audacity.
I tried purging all ALSA and PulseAudio applications/files on my machine and reinstalled ALSA and PulseAudio from scratch and additionally added any other packages that are ALSA/PulseAudio related as shown in the Synaptic Package Manager that I thought might be helpful but this did not help.
I saw a suggestion on another forum to use the "qjackctl" command/GUI tool to change settings in the JACK server and set the Interface from "(default)" to "hw:PCH" and then kill PulseAudio/JACK and start them again but this did not fix anything.
See original Audacity Support Forum post for additional details.
