Hello Tjeerd, If this issue still exists on your system, you might try to rename $HOME/.audacity-data to test if it depends on some settings stored there.
If it still crashes then you might start it by following and forward the output: $ catchsegv audacity Better would be if you could install the packages: systemd-coredump gdb valgrind audacity-dbgsym The last one is in a different repository described here [1]. Then some more information should appear after a crash in 'journalctl --no-pager'. Also running audacity by following could give some pointer: $ valgrind audacity Kind regards, Bernhard [1] https://wiki.debian.org/HowToGetABacktrace#Installing_the_debugging_symbols
