Bug Description
I recently upgraded and finally launched Mixxx 2.2.2. It hangs at the startup screen, with the progress bar barely moving much towards the right. At that point, it already takes over pulseaudio, so videos within Chrome (youtube, etc) no longer play and even using the mouse cursor (scrolling, clicking) no longer works. The killall command and other methods to terminate the application fail and the only way to close it is to reboot the OS.
I have an Ivy bridge processor and nvidia ge650m video. MIxx hangs either with a numark mixtrack pro or edirol ua25 connected.
The previous release in the ubuntu repository worked fine
To post a comment you must log in.
I suspect this is related to the OpenGL changes in 2.2.2. Try running mixxx in a console with the "--safeMode" command line argument. If that works, try selecting different waveform renderers in the Waveforms preferences and restart Mixxx without --safeMode. Let us know which renderers work and which do not.
Do you use the proprietary nVidia driver or nouveau?
