the new vynil control thingy seems broken it displays a square turning instead of vinyl image

To get the basics out of the way: What type of video card do you have? Are you using proprietary or open-source drivers for it? Are they up-to-date? What Qt version is on your system? (Run qtconfig then click Help->About Qt.)

[Daniel Schürmann (daschuer)]

I can confirm it on my PC.

* QT Version Qt version 4.7.4.
* I use the X.Org-X-Server – AMD/ATI-Radeon-Grafiktreiber 1:6.14.99~git20110811.g93fc084ubuntu1 (oneiric)
* ATI Technologies Inc RV710 [Radeon HD 4350]

This bug occurs in unity and also in gnome shell.

[Daniel Schürmann (daschuer)]

I checked also lp:mixxx #2941 on my eeePC with worse results. Instead of the spinny widget, an empty white box is displayed.

* Ubuntu Lucid
* QT Version Qt version 4.6.2.
* Intel 945GME

[Sean M. Pappalardo (pegasus-renegadetech)]

For the record, it works fine for me using:
* Debian Squeeze
* nVidia NVS 3100M (using the proprietary nVidia driver)
* Qt 4.6.3

QT version : 4.7.4
radeon open source drivers with 9600 pro ati gfx

im using lastest gnome3.2 with oneiric and gnome-panel session (fallback)

it displays this "square" with metacity too

We should probably find a QT guru asap who can help troubleshoot this issue. It sounds like a deep-dark Xorg / QT / GL interaction.

Can you guys who can reproduce try this skin? It's just a spinny widget and nothing else.

I can't reproduce on Lucid amd64 on a Lenovo T400 with Intel GMA 4500MHD graphics card. I also can't reproduce in VirtualBox with an Oneiric amd64 VM on Mixxx 1.10.0 beta.

This is likely related to Bug #792237 in which many widgets are white (Daniel reported WSpinny as white on his netbook which is probably confirmation of that bug).

[Daniel Schürmann (daschuer)]

With Test Skin, the squared spinny widget is displayed as in all other skins on system from #3

[Daniel Schürmann (daschuer)]

I just notice that the cue mark is also effected by this bug on system #3 with Deere Skin.
All other Skins does not suffer the cue mark bug.

And one important thing: outline skin displays spinny correct!

[Daniel Schürmann (daschuer)]

The magic "QT_GL_USE_OPENGL1ENGINE=1 mixxx" solves this problem as well on system #3.
The spinny an the cure marks are displayed correct now.

[Daniel Schürmann (daschuer)]

Now I am on my System #4. The spinny is displayed white in a gray window. It is also displayed white in outline skin.
Here QT_GL_USE_OPENGL1ENGINE=1 has no effect.

[Daniel Schürmann (daschuer)]

Patch from Bug #981210 should solve this issue

[Daniel Schürmann (daschuer)]

Hope this is entirely solved together with Bug #981210
finally fixed in lp:mixxx/1.11 #3622.
