To preface: I did a full zypper dup yesterday, I didn’t get it from any non-standard repos, and the version installed is 3.7.0. When I try to launch it, as root, as user, from terminal, it will show the Audacity logo for a split-second and immediately close. When launched from terminal, it gives no error messages. I type “audacity,” hit enter, and then the logo appears for a split second, disappears, and then I’m back to a blank prompt. Usually I try to troubleshoot these things myself, but I have absolutely no clue what could even be the problem, since it gives no error messages. I tried downloading the AppImage as well, same thing happened. I’ve found other forum posts on here where people had the same issue as me, but it never got resolved in any of them. Hopefully I’ll be the one to break the cycle.
Can you test with a fresh user profile? Audacity works here with the latest TW snapshot 20241204.
Also please show zypper lr -d
You can post the log:
~/.audacity-data/lastlog.txt
Or look in the
~/.audacity-data/crashreports directory

I’ll try with a new user as well.
I do not have a .audacity-data folder present in neither root nor my user folder.
Just created a new user, opened Audacity through terminal, and the same thing happened.
And let me also say, that I have tried to paste the exact file path you sent, at the end of /home/[name]/, and /root/.

You can delete the first Repo, same as Repo 12, see the URL.

Thanks so much for the tip on the repo duplicates. Also hadn’t realized I had accidentally downloaded some other software from those user repos that I didn’t want to. Notably Vivaldi, wpa_supplicant and libpcap1. The reason they don’t appear in what I sent is because I had changed the vendors on them. Probably should build corectrl from source as well instead of getting community packages, just a little lazy, haha.
That means:
/home/USERNAME/
where USERNAME can als be root and means /root/
audacity in Tumbleweed will use the directory
~/.config/audacity
and
~/.local/share/audacity
In the last directory you find a lastlog.txt.
In ~/.local/share/audacity, the only thing present is an empty folder named “Plug-Ins”
I am an idiot, somehow I accidentally uninstalled audacity, whoops. I’ll reinstall it and look in lastlog.txt
Tried this, tried to open audacity a couple times and there’s still nothing else in the directory besides the empty “Plug-Ins” folder.
Have you tried to rename both directories? Not deleting them.
audacity will generate them new.
Should I rename them to anything specific, or just anything?
as you want
Renamed them both to something random, still nothing in the /.local/share/audacity folder besides “Plug-Ins”
The newly generated one, I should specify.
When did you update the last time before the current one? I just wanted to point out that pipewire got updated on 27.11. and alsa on 25.11.
Audacity got updated on 04.11.
So, if you updated pipewire and alsa with your last zypper dup it could also be connected to that. Even though I don’t understand why you don’t get any messages from the start via terminal nor a log…
