Hi,
I am trying to launch audacity on a stretch amd64 system, and
the following happens:

1.  I get a popup with text "Audacity could not find a place to store
      temporary files.  Please enter an appropriate directory in the
      preferences dialog."

Click ok, then:

2.  An error popup appears stating: "AudioIO.cpp(2363): assert "false"
      failed in getPlayDevIndex()."  A backtrace is available but
      doesn't reveal anything obvious to me.

Click continue, then:

3.  An error popup appears stating: "AudioIO.cpp(2416): assert "false"
      failed in getRecordDevIndex()."

Continue then segfaults.

Check

grep -i Temp  ~/.audacity-data/audacity.cfg

And then check the permissions on that directory.

And, again, is your user a member of the "audio" group in /etc/group? Without permissions, you get no audio. This doesn't depend on any window manager, it is system. Ric
