Hi Folks, Sent this a couple of days ago but never received it back so not sure it ever got through somehow. Anyhow...
I'm new to Mixxx and the list - Firstly like thank all devs for their excellent work; please keep it going. I'm a 64bit Ubuntu Studio 8.10 user. The OS came bundled with Mixxx 1.6.0 (or similar) which had poor Hercules MK2 support. So I compiled 1.6.1+Herc from source and later (that day) 1.7.0-beta1 from source. I had both these working fine with my DJ Console MK2. But at some point it all went a bit pear-shaped. 1.6.1+Herc would not communicate at all with the device (see no midi data appearing in my console window), and now with 1.7.0-beta1, the jog wheel behaves oddly. Load a track (but don't press play), turn the jog wheel slightly clockwise and the tune goes in to super fast-forward, turn it back slightly, the tune stops, turn it back (anti-clockwise) again, and it goes into super rewind. Also, the Loop/Cue/Fx LEDs used to act as basic level meters (I think), but now they don't. All other buttons, pots & faders are working fine. I've tried deleting ~/.mixx, /usr/share/mixx and recompiling but the same thing's happening. Tried the latest 1.7 branch and the same happens with that too. The software itself seems to be behaving ok, so this seems like some kind of MIDI mapping/herc driver problem. At some point I did get a kernel update from 2.6.27-11-generic to 2.6.27-14-generic, not sure if that could affect things but not it here anyhow. To be honest I *think* these problems started before the kernel update anyhow. I can happily get in #mixxx (as Ximmer) to run though anything if that's helpful. I popped in there just now an Pegasus_RPG said jumpkick and rryan are good with Hercs. You guys able to help? Thanks in advance, Jim. -- James Evans w: www.jamesevans.net e: [email protected] t: +44 (0) 117 904 1486 m: +44 (0) 7900 985 936 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Mixxx-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mixxx-devel
