I have the same issue as Andres with Audacity ® 1.3.9 (Unicode) on Karmic, making Xorg use 80% CPU or more.
Often when I try and edit any section of audio (though typically one that touches the end of the audio file), the CPU jumps to 100%, and Audacity becomes largely unusable - most menu items and controls are disabled. The file I am working on can not be saved and although it may offer to save on exit (even though it doesn't exit), the file becomes corrupted meaning that when you open it again in a fresh instance of Audacity it is either lacking sections of audio or it forces the CPU back to 100%. Before anyone asks, I have experienced the same when I used it before Pulse was installed, and now with a working Pulse configuration. Same with Compiz (previously used Metacity). I think the file handling of the Audacity is just dead on Linux. I feel that I have stuck with this software too long and need to find something new (or maybe go back to Windows, where it used to work beautifully). -- Audacity uses 100% CPU on opening any file dialog https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250367 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
