thanks Rex, I did search the net first. And I've got 20.04 on an ext HD and
using it, but there are several things that I use a lot that are not
supported yet... so I'm still using 16.04 on my main computer while I wait
for all the technologies get up to date...

Charles you are dealing with an older OS that has less than 10 months
before End of Life and attempting to use an old version of Audacity by
installing via ppa which should work if you trust the owner of the ppa. I
have no experience there. Recommend that you launch your favorite web
browser and attempt to find a solution on the www. Or go to the Ubuntu
Forums, https://ubuntuforums.org/ or Ask Ubuntu, https://askubuntu.com/
and ask the question. Both are free forums and only require you to
register to ask a question. You are free to search the forums for a
solution that may have already been asked and answered.
