Debugging and Fixing Audacity Crash on Ubuntu 16.04.

  • 0
I was having crash of Audacity Audio Editor at Start. No error message was shown except - 

(Audacity:14109): Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_disable_setlocale() must be called before gtk_init()
,which was never the actual problem. 

I have tried to fix the issue by installing old version, new version and also i386 version of the same. None fixed that. 

I had to remove naspro-bridges to correct the issue. But that's not the agenda of this post. The way I found the solution is subject of interest here. 

The first step is to install Valgrind. Second is to run Audacity via valgrind to find the faulting module. 
sudo apt install valgrind
valgrind /usr/bin/audacity
This will generate the error report. Find the faulty module there and remove it via Synaptic.
