Hi everyone, This is a wayland related bug, and a known issue upstream:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/1850729 https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/issues/9787 It seems the waveform code is incompatible with the QtWayland platform plugin change, which is mentioned on their troubleshooting page: https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/wiki/Troubleshooting#mixxx-on-wayland A workaround is to launch mixxx with $ mixxx -platform xcb Which uses the x11 platform plugin. Upstream actually have -platform xcb set in their desktop file by default, and if you look at debian/patches/0002-desktop_file.patch: diff --git a/res/linux/org.mixxx.Mixxx.desktop b/res/linux/org.mixxx.Mixxx.desktop index bf90e33..35f4b68 100644 --- a/res/linux/org.mixxx.Mixxx.desktop +++ b/res/linux/org.mixxx.Mixxx.desktop @@ -8,7 +8,8 @@ GenericName[fr]=Interface numérique pour DJ Comment=A digital DJ interface Comment[de]=Ein digitales DJ-System Comment[fr]=Une interface numérique pour DJ -Exec=sh -c "pasuspender -- mixxx -platform xcb || mixxx -platform xcb" +Exec=mixxx +Keywords=dj;music;alsa;jack:realtime;standalone; Terminal=false Icon=mixxx Type=Application The exec line gets changed to remove the pasuspender call and platform plugin changes. I understand removing pasuspender, but maybe we should restore -platform xcb. Gnome-Shell is wayland by default, and I think other desktops are moving the same way, so maybe we should force the x11 backend by default to have a working application while upstream decides how to rebuild their interface for wayland to fix the issue. Thanks, Matthew
