    Audacity not running in 6.7.1, also Kompozer

    I installed Audacity via the "Preferences, install components" option, on both live USB and HD installs, but it will not start from the menu selection, on either installation. I presumed this was just a glitch to my installs and put it to one side to investigate later ... but now I have the same situation with "Kompozer" which I have just added to both installs with Synaptic. These are both still near vanilla Knoppix 6.7.1 installs, so what possibles may have I wrong?

    What happens if you start the program from the shell? I suggest that you open a terminal and issue
    Code:
    audacity

    Audacity not running in 6.7.1, also Kompozer

    Both Audacity and Kompozer give:
    Code:
    Gnome-WARNING **: Accessibility: failed to find module 'libgail' which is needed to make this application accessible **
    Audacity also reports:
    Code:
    ERROR:accessible.c:556:spi_accessible_construct: assertion failed: (o) Aborted
    Kompozer also reports:
    Code:
    ERROR:accessible.c:556:spi_accessible_construct: assertion failed: (o) /usr/lib/kompozer/run-mozilla.sh: line 131:  4310 Aborted                 "$prog" ${1+"$@"}
    Module "libgail" appears to be missing.

    Package 'libgail-common' is installed, version 2.24.6-1. May have come as part of an upgrade performed to resolve http://www.knoppix.net/forum/threads...ter-HD-install ... but it has not fixed the situation, both Audacity and Kompozer still report "failed to find module 'libgail' ". An upgrade to version 2.24.8-2 is available from the unstable repository, but would this fix a situation where the module cannot be found at all?

    I would suggest that you try
    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get -t testing install libgail-common
    I tried this myself after installing Audacity with Synaptic package management and was able to start Audacity 1.3.12-beta.

    Yo! That did the trick and the install pulled in upgrades on several related packages. Now both Audacity and Kompozer start. Thank you ... I have some overdue website changes to make.

    Solved the Audacity issue on my 0wn install on eeepc x101

    Audacity started not from lxde menu bar nor on terminal.
    Code:
    knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ sudo audacity
    worked.

    I post just some of my logs.

    Code:
    knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ sudo apt-get update 
    ...
    Paketlisten werden gelesen... Fertig
    knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ sudo apt-get -t testing install libgail-common
    ...

      libqt4-sql libqt4-xml libqt4-network libqt4-designer libmysqlclient16
      libqtgui4 libqt4-script qt4-qtconfig
    Verwenden Sie »apt-get autoremove«, um sie zu entfernen.
