I booted off a Karmic live CD to test this bug again. Audacity pauses at the welcome screen for a long time, but this time it did in fact eventually allow me to close the dialog. For a second program was usable and I could see that after loading test.wav, it had created a few _hundred_ tracks, called "test1", "test2", etc.. I tried to scroll down to see how many tracks it had created but the program became unresponsive and the CPU is now running at 100% doing something, presumably swapping memory or something. Eventually the whole desktop started periodically freezing, and I had to manage to click on my terminal window and Ctrl-C the process in order to be able to finish this message.
I think there is clearly an input bug in Audacity that is not properly validating a maximum number of tracks, or otherwise not realizing that the computer cannot handle the load demanded by this corrupt file. -- 1.3.4 beta won't get passed welcome dialog -> 100% CPU https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/199992 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
