Waveforms not showing

[WandernderVogel]

Bug Description

The waveforms are not showing on my Mixxx 2.4.1 installation, instead the program opened before will show, i already tried to switch the waveform style, witch resulted in not moving waveforms except for the first few pixels offset( shown in the second picture)

Version

2.4.1

OS

Debian 12

[Swiftb0y]

Please share your "OpenGL Status" from the bottom of the waveform preferences page.

[WandernderVogel]

It's 4.3 (Mesa Intel(R) HD Graphics 530 (SKL GT2))

[Swiftb0y]

Thats weird. it should contain the exact mesa version you are using. Can you look that up using your package manager?

[WandernderVogel]

The version string of my OpenGL installation is "4.6 (Core Profile) Mesa 22.3.6"

[Swiftb0y]

thanks. two weird things:

1. why is mixxx only saying opengl 4.3 even though the driver seems to support 4.6?
2. Mesa 22. is quite old...

Can you share your mixxx.log file?

Thank you. Unfortunately I'm not able to spot anything obvious. Please try the other waveform styles as well. I suspect this is related to the graphics driver so you may want to try one of the software-rendered waveforms until your distribution has caught up.

---

From personal experience: I would advise you against using Debian as your Desktop OS distribution. Ubuntu is more than stable enough (and used by many mixxx devs). As a developer, I have switched from Debian (because of its very slow release process) to Fedora and have never looked back since.

[Swiftb0y]

@m0dB can you spot anything in the mixxx log above?

[WandernderVogel]

I have now fixed it by installing Debian testing wich uses mesa 24
