[04:35] <leop> ok
[04:35] <leop> i don't
[04:36] <cfhowlett> your software sources are wrong.  quantal is WAY paste end of life.  what does lsb_release -a report???
[04:39] <leop> thank you ..
[07:34] <zequence> fathom: I'm going to double check if I can get Audacity to work.
[07:35] <zequence> fathom: Is your system a fresh installation. Did Audacity never work for you on that installation?
[07:40] <zequence> I'm getting the 15.04 ISO now for another reason as well. Someone claims it is uninstallable.
[08:10] <zequence> Well, the live ISO has no problems at least.
[08:10] <zequence> Let's see what happens when I install it
[11:11] <fathom> zequence, When you see this, yes, my install of uubuntustudio is fress and audacity never worked
[11:11] <fathom> fresh
[14:53] <holstein> fathom: audacity works here.. let me search for your pastes above..
[14:53] <holstein> yeah.. i just double checked, with updates applied.. in 15.04, and audacity starts right up.. what are your conditions for it not working?
[14:54] <holstein> i dont try to use audacity with jack, though..
[18:59] <fathom> holstein, I launch it and it does not work
[18:59] <fathom> With or without jack
[19:01] <holstein> fathom: cool.. wonder what is different about your setup, than mine..
[19:01] <holstein> fathom: can you try, as another user? even as the guest user.. try just simply launching the applicaion
[19:02] <fathom> Well...my 'puter is newish...so that may be one of the issues.
[19:02] <holstein> shouldnt be
[19:03] <holstein> audacity doesnt require any 3d, or other features
[19:04] <fathom> It happens that sometimes the os gets buggy
[19:05] <fathom> I have had that experience with ubuntu where I just switch distros. However, there are some driver issues that other os' have not caught up with yet
[19:05] <fathom> Ubuntu is thebest at drivers
[19:07] <holstein> fathom: sure. its just that, its not buggy here..
[19:08] <holstein> some hardware certainly dosnt support linux well, thats for sure, but, that shouldnt be tyhe case for you
[19:08] <holstein> the linux kernel is the linux kernel, and most distros have access to, and use the same drivers..
[19:18] <fathom> holstein, Not so, Ubuntu goes above and for drivers
[19:18] <fathom> I am not a buntu fan boy
[19:19] <holstein> oh, im not either.. its just that, they are only repackages. not created by ubuntu
[19:19] <holstein> repackaged*
[19:19] <holstein> there are no drivers that are made, for example, for nvidia, only for ubuntu.. specifically
[19:19] <holstein> they are for the linux kernel, and can be used anywhere..
[19:20] <fathom> I know of no other distro that checks your hard ware and tells you drivers available
[19:20] <fathom> Normally you have to sweat it out yourself
[19:20] <holstein> fathom: anyways, i dont think thats why your audacity isnt  starting, since, its not requiring 3d.. can you start audacity as the guest user?
[19:20] <fathom> Like Slackware
[19:20] <fathom> no
[19:20] <fathom> Audacity just greys out
[19:20] <holstein> fathom: that tool, that ubuntu uses, can be used on other distros, if one wanted.. its just a GUI to selct the drivers we are talking about
[19:20] <holstein> select*
[19:21] <holstein> fathom: so, audacity starts now? and something "Greys out" ?
[19:21] <fathom> Audacity does not fully launch
[19:21] <fathom> You just have a grey box where audacity should be
[19:21] <holstein> fathom: ok.. and it looks the same as any user?
[19:21] <fathom> I pasted the program launch from command line and attendent errors
[19:22] <fathom> yep
[19:22] <holstein> fathom: was it this paste? that has been removed? http://pastebin.com/GAhKQmMA
[19:24] <fathom> holstein, http://pastebin.com/KNgp0vuK
[19:24] <holstein> fathom: did you add a ppa? for a development version?
[19:25] <fathom> no, just regular
[19:25] <holstein> fathom: a regular what? ppa?
[19:25] <holstein> if you have a ppa version, that can be the issue..
[19:27] <fathom> The only one I got is sudo apt-get install
[19:27] <fathom> I see no reason why i would need a ppa version
[19:28] <fathom> I just needed stable audacity to apply some basic effects to
[19:28] <holstein> fathom: i dont either. im just checking that you are using the same version i am, which works
[19:28] <holstein> http://pastebin.com/MRMLUR1u is the paste of my output, for you to compare
[19:29] <holstein> i have 2.0.6.. what do you have?
[19:29] <fathom> holstein, I don't know, it greys out
[19:30] <holstein> you can look in a package manager
[19:31] <fathom> 2.0.6.2
[19:35] <holstein> i have 2.0.6-2 is that what you have?
[19:35] <holstein> did you configure it to use jack? are you using jack?
[19:39] <holstein> fathom: would you please, at least temporarily, reset the user config? and try running it again.. should be  "~/.audacity-data".. you can just rename, or move/delete it
