1.12.0 Alpha Win (XP,Vista,7,8) / Mac / Linux Testers Needed

[rryan]

Hi folks,

As part of our inch-by-inch progression towards Mixxx 1.12.0 -- it was high time we upgraded our old-and-busted build system for Windows, Mac and Linux. We need testers for our new environment!

UPDATE: We are moving on to the next phase of our release process. We are now packaging both debug and release builds. When you go to http://downloads.mixxx.org/builds/1.12/ you will have the choice of release or debug. Please start testing release builds and report (make sure to mention which type you are using).

These build should work on:

• Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty) and newer
• Mac OS X 10.5 through 10.10
• Windows XP through Windows 8

We need test results from EVERY OS version -- so if you are running a less common version we could especially use your help.

Removed direct links since we update builds regularly now. New builds will show up at http://downloads.mixxx.org/builds/1.12/. Click through and select the most recent 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) build to download.

Attention Ubuntu users -- we have a PPA for nightly builds: https://launchpad.net/~mixxx/+archive/ubuntu/mixxxbetas.

Note: You can run Mixxx 32-bit on a 64-bit version of Windows. You can't run a 64-bit version of Mixxx on a 32-bit version of Windows. If you are on 64-bit Windows, it would be helpful if you could test out both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

Please answer the following questions:

• Mixxx build file name you installed: (for example mixxx-1.12.0-alpha-1.12-git4688-debug-x86.exe). (please post the EXACT file name as it tells us specifically what version you are running -- every part is significant!).
• System Info (processor, RAM, graphics card, etc. -- provide as much or as little detail as you want)
• Windows version AND service pack -- right-click My Computer and hit Properties. Example: Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1
• Windows 32-bit or 64-bit?
• Mixxx 32-bit or 64-bit build? (i.e. which you downloaded above)
• Did the installer succeed?
• Did it crash on start-up? (If so, how, can you repeat it, what error messages, etc.)
• Did it crash after start-up? (If so, how, can you repeat it, what error messages, etc.)
• Did MP3 files load and play?
• Did M4A/AAC files load and play?
• Did WAV files load and play?
• Did FLAC files load and play?
• Did OGG files load and play?
• Did Filtered (GL) waveforms work?
• Did GLSL waveforms work?
• Did Software waveforms work?
• Any corruption / glitching?

Known issues:
* 64-bit Mixxx crash on start-up when 64-bit JACK for Windows is installed.

If a crash occurs -- you will be super-awesome if you include any (ideally all) of these:

• the Mixxx log file for the crash
• a GDB backtrace
• Download Dependency Walker and run its "Profiler" on Mixxx. Instructions are here.
• Debug diagnostic tool output: Details here

hey there

i installed mixxx 1.12 alpha next to mixxx 1.11 (by choosing another installation location) on my samsung laptop, which succeeded.
however, when i try to run it, it shows me a windows CMD screen followed by the windows error report (that mixxx has stopped working)
i was like: okay... let's try again.
same thing happened.
now is the problem that i don't know where the mixxx log file is located by default, so i made a printscreen of the windows CMD output

my setup details:
laptop: 8gb RAM, AMD A8-4500M series APU with a "old-school" hard disk (no SSD).
windows 8.1 x64
mixxx 1.12 alpha x64 edition
and it keeps crashing on startup, so i couln't test anything else sadly..

just as a side note: mixxx 1.11 still works normal, only mixxx 1.12 refuses to work.

Playing MP3 and FLAC is OK on Windows 7 SP1 32 bit with Logitech active speakers.
Library context menu (right click on song) doesn't show any options under 'BPM Options'.
Effects don't work.
Preferences/Waveforms/Visual gain: High and Low band labels are switched.

Why we, linux users, don't get builds masters nowadays? I prefer it to compile where I never get good results. Could you post linux deb builds too?

Linux builds are coming -- we just need a bigger hard drive for the build server.

Cheers,

Using Win7/64/prof, all updates inside. I7, 8 GB RAM.
Installed Mixxx: mixxx-master-git4661-x64, installed over the 1.11 stable.
Skin is Deere 1920x1080 full HD (what's the new one? Looks 1.11)

VU-Meter Master right: doesn't work, shows something but doesnt work while play.
After loading 1, or up to 3, songs (mp3) in deck -> mixxx crashes fully, no infos can read in debug window about this but logfile has informations about the problem. Log is attached. The Crash is exactly when i want to load a song in a deck. Double click song or right mouse key "load in deck_x" (both tested).
Use i wrong skin????

I can give you the event for eventviewer:

Thanks dg3nec -- the logs help a lot but it would tell us exactly where the problem is if you could get a backtrace:
http://mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/creating_backtraces
Could you install GDB for Windows and try that out? Thanks a bunch!

Sorry, problem while download GNU debugger. Message: Too many users at same time .....
So, if you have the file, can you store it near the master files for the user who wants help to download it? Thanks

Preliminary test of this alpha (1.12 rev4650) in my lappy (dell e6500, core2duo, intel gma4500hd gfx, no controllers attached for now). Everything is 32bits (x86).

On a clean Win7 sp1 installs fine and seems to work with all the defaults.

But under XP sp3, installs fine but crash always when started. The problem is clearly with opengl, because if i modify manually the mixxx.cfg file to edit the waveforms value from 6 to 0, works fine. But if again i try any accelerated GL option (inside mixxx or through .cfg), crash again.
Driver is from intel, 6.14.10.5417 (6/15/2012), WHQL (or so it says.. )

Attached microsoft debug tool report.

If you need the log (or other files), i can upload it, but imho doesn't seem to be much help in this case...

PD: Intel support for opengl under windows (at least with >3years HW) left a lot to be desired. I probably would add another shortcut to the desktop for launching mixxx as a "safe mode", that disables waveforms (or use the SW version), but it's just a suggestion
