> I tested the patch on Ubuntu 14.04, but the running audacity process crashes > when a second audacity process is launched Hi Benjamin,
I can't reproduce that on Ubuntu 14.04 in a release build of Audacity. Did you patch a debug build? What are the exact steps by which you opened a second process? I tried from the command-line and some "Open with" with audio files. And did you modify the patch to use /var/run instead, if so were you root? I can't see the value of using a path for the sockets file that requires root. That is probably why var/run was not chosen. Also I was surprised my self-built Audacity on 14.04 has no file associations (not even AUP). Moreover I can't use Nautilus Properties (in Unity Shell) to add Audacity associations for MP3, WAV etc. because my local install of Audacity isn't listed. I had to install Ubuntu-Tweak to set an association. Is that a bug in Ubuntu or Audacity? I don't have that problem in Ubuntu 13.10. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Studio Bugs, which is subscribed to audacity in Ubuntu.
