Hi
I tried to install audacity by following the instructions on this link:
https://www.how2shout.com/how-to/how...n_on_CentOS_87
which tells you to install snap, then use that to install audacity.
All seemed to go well, but when I try to run audacity I get the following error:
Code:$ audacity
Warning: GTK2 does not support Wayland!
Trying to route ALSA through PulseAudio...
Gtk-Message: 15:01:34.948: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module"The first time I did it a warning dialog with an exclamation mark in a triangle comes up with a message, which I did not manage to capture (after the first time it did not repeat), and an option to 'Wait' or 'Cancel'.
When I waited long enough the audacity window came up after a while with further errors spat out at the command line:

Does anyone know what these errors mean ? It looks like I have some dependencies missing (though the audacity app still comes up - I have not tried to use it yet).
