Audacity does not start and can't be updated to existing newer version
by fredmyra from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6GTXX)
hi!
I am an inveterate, confessed, happy distrohopper.
Not long ago I succeeded after many years to run a decent installation of Linux for producing music for my own pleasure. It happened with Ubuntu Studio. I decided then I should return to my attempts to make music on Slackware, which I already had installed in 4 of my computers, one of which had 3 instances of Slackware, one with Slackware64-15.0 (used only with XFCE) improved with the DAW template, one with Bob Aliens DAW version (installed from liveslak-DAW) and one with Slackware-current.
Just so I don't misguide you: whenever I read posts on LQT I am always reminded that I am still not far beyond beguiners level.
So: In the machine where I tried Ubuntu Studio (because it is simple to install and my readings on JACK-QSynth-Rosegarden-(pulse) finally led me to believe configuring a daw was beyond my capacity) I already had a recent installation of Slackware which was one of the first on that machine which is my newest, a Fujitsu ESPRIMO Q, with an Intel i5.
My problem is that I don't remember how I installed it, I mean whether it was a regular stable installed from slackware64-live-15.0.iso supplemented with DAW template or a slackware64-live-daw-15.0. And I have no idea of how important that difference is, so I wonder if there is some way of checking what kind of installation I have, in case that difference should be important. I suspect the original DAW may be better configured (than my configuration of the template one) and maybe have a better kernel for music production. I have really no idea about these questions.
I have not used Ubuntu Studio so far, other than for testing JACK-QSynth-Rosegarden interaction and learning some about it. (I don't like the idea of using systemd). I have kept doing my music with Slackware at the same level I have been doing for years, which means I am still unable to play .wav files from Rosegarden (as a reference for editing my recorded mids).
I have now for some months experienced problems with more recent versions of Audacity in other distros, but now it has affected the above mentioned Slackware install. I can install Bob Alien's version (via slackpkg), but I get no response when trying to start it from the desktop. When I try from the terminal I get the message:
Code:bash-5.1$ audacity
