Re: Audacity is broken

It looks like "lib-screen-geometry.so" is included in the package but it is in /usr/lib/audacity/ instead of /usr/lib/ so the loader doesn't find it. As a temporary workaround you can do:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/audacity /usr/bin/audacity ...



Re: Audacity is broken

Reply #3
Another option might be "sneedacity" from the "universe" repo, although I haven't tried it.

Re: Audacity is broken

Reply #4
I have, sneedacity works fine, it's exactly like Audacity afaict, but it's a fork with the telemetry and tracking removed.

Re: Audacity is broken

Reply #5
@JPohl , Yes there some forks. But broken pkg should be fixed
Audacity from Arch repos works without any issue or workaround

Re: Audacity is broken

Another alternative: Run these two commands (as root or with sudo)

pacman -S chrpath
chrpath -r /usr/lib/audacity /usr/bin/audacity

{ Audacity should be working after you do this. }
