Looking at the stacktrace, there doesn't seem to be anything useful. Furthermore, I doubt we'll be able to find a patch from the upstream developers as they've moved on to the 3.x series of Audacity long ago, which is available in later versions of Ubuntu and in the Snap Store. That might not help you, but sadly, I doubt we'll be able to fix this crash.
