Bug Description

Hello
When changing Skin, the system hangs on my Dell Vostro. This does not happen on another PC I have.

In the FAQ there is a known issue with Mobile Intel 4 Series chipset with I945/965 graphics driver ;
I seem to have I965 Express Chipset Family driver ( but with latest driver version)

The mixxx.log file last entry is "Debug [Main]: resize QSize(1014, 759)" , so it seems something to do with the QT libraries.

The FAQ says
This is fixed by upgrading your version of the Qt libraries on Linux or getting the latest Mixxx 1.7 package for Windows.

As I have the latest MIXXX version 1.11.0 build r3862, is it necessary to try to upgrade QT; if so how ?

Regards
Bryan

Hi Bryan,

I think the Mixxx 1.7 problem is outdated.

Please give more details about your system and the way to reproduce the bug.
What is your OS, what is the current waveform setting, what are the skins you change from and to?

Thank you,

Daniel

Hi Daniel
( I'm not sure if I should use launchpad to reply, but if so I don't know
how)

My system is a Dell Vosto 1510 running Windows 7 Ultimate
It should be a relatively clean system
(I restored the system recently back to factory settings followed by Window
7 upgrade)

To reproduce to bug I use menu Options → Preferences → Interface → Skin
Any skin change causes the program to stop working.
I even created a copy of the Default Deer.. skin, renamed it MyDeer..
But when I went to change to it, same problem.
Winows reports Mixxx has stopped working with following details
Problem signature:
  Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
  Application Name: mixxx.exe

Hi Bryan,

you did it right! Your mail was already published Launchpad.

I hope one windows expert can help here.

Here are my hints:
It looks like a graphics driver issue triggered by Mixxx.

ig4icd32.dll seem to be part of the Intel graphics driver.
Do you use a recent version of it?

Can you check if it is possible to reproduce the issue with waveforms = empty and spinnies disabled?

You also may try a recent development build to check if the issue is still there:
http://builds.mixxx.org/builds/trunk/ (Please backup you library folder %LOCALAPPDATA%\Mixxx first)

If you are able to build Mixxx on your system we may investigate this issue by a backtrace.

Kind regards,

Daniel

Hi Daniel

Yes, ig4icd32.dl seems to be part of the intel graphics driver, my system
reports version 8.14.10.1930
Going to the Intel support site, this is the latest driver.

I tried waveforms = empty and spinnies disabled in Mixxx, but same problem

I uninstalled mixxx 1.11 and installed
http://builds.mixxx.org/builds/trunk/mixxx-1.12.0-alpha-pre-master-git3513-x86.exe
But, sorry to say result was the same application stopped working

Building Mixx would be beyond my capabilities unless there is an "easy"
visual studio project file to help out.
My C++ programming is limited to "playing around"; ;-(
Although I did get some OpenCV stuff to run to my, amateur, satisfaction.

Hi

I found guide http://mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/compiling_on_windows which I
tells me how to
*Build the 32-bit version using Microsoft Visual Studio Express*

So I again set my laptop back to factory settings + Windows 7 upgrade to
make sure everything is clean

I followed the guide , OK untill step 4

Get our pre-compiled dependencies "Checkout the dependencies repository
(and have it placed beside your “mixxx” directory) from the
winlib-msvc10-x86-static
branch.

I couldn't see how to do this with GIT, so after much hunting around, used
Bazaar.

But when I trisd to run step 5c, Scons terminated with errors
scons: Building targets ...
protoc -Isrc --cpp_out=win32_build src\proto\skin.proto
'protoc' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
scons: *** [win32_build\proto\skin.pb.cc] Error 1
scons: building terminated because of errors.

I have included the whole scons process in the attached file

Hope someone can help

Bryan

Hi
You can close this bug.

My system has a Dell OEM installation over which I have installed Windows 7
I had a disk problem and reinstalled Windows 7 ( wiping out the OEM
partition)

Whether the bug is related to the OEM installation or a corrupt disk bit ;
I don't know,
but the problem no longer exists.

I'll keep trying to install compilable Mixxx for windows on my machine as I
have invested
a considerable ti;e on this already.
