Audacity should show an error message instead of silently fail when opening a corrupted ogg file.
I can confirm the opening failure with your provided test file. ** Changed in: audacity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: audacity (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Triaged ** Description changed: I can not open a certain ogg file with audacity. When I try to open the file it displays the import dialog but closes it after some progress. Same happens if I try to import it. It does not show me any error message. The file plays fine with any audio player i tried so far. I can also open different ogg files with audacity. The file was recorded with gnome-sound-recorder (ubuntu default) in the ogg-format. - - The description of the bug XXXXXX sounds the same as my error. I tried with audacity 2.0 and Audacity 2.0.3-alpha-Oct 7 2012. Same result. The file is 72 MB at about 80 min. Information about the file Vorbis Audio Stereo, 44100Hz, 160kb/s I can also provide the file if neccessary. I opened a new bug for this. I'm quite new to opensource community, so please let me know if that wasn't correct and if I can provide further information. I use ubuntu 12.04, kernel 3.2.0-31-generic on 64bit Thanks for help! - - EDIT: forgot to mention the bug that sounds the same as my problem. It's - Bug #694778 ** Bug watch added: Audacity Bugzilla #592 http://bugzilla.audacityteam.org/show_bug.cgi?id=592 ** Also affects: audacity via http://bugzilla.audacityteam.org/show_bug.cgi?id=592 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1063298 Title: can not open ogg file in audacity To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/audacity/+bug/1063298/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
