Public bug reported:
My system is an up-to-date Xubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
When I try to start audacity, it just never shows the UI. The process
hangs forever without using CPU or other system resources. The line from
`top` looks like this:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
52059 me 20 0 221800 51444 43524 S 0.0 0.3 0:00.08 audacity
When running from console, I see the following messages:

I already removed all audacity files (config etc) from my home
directory, and I checked there is nothing about audacity in /etc/.
I also checked using strace what's going on behind the scenes, but I
didn't find anything that looked like the usual causes (file not found,
directory missing, access denied)
Last time when I used audacity it worked fine. I think that was ~April
2020, likely before upgrading ubuntu to 20.04.
My setup:
$ dpkg -l | grep audacity
ii audacity 2.3.3-1build1
amd64 fast, cross-platform audio editor
ii audacity-data 2.3.3-1build1
all fast, cross-platform audio editor (data)
