Crash upon opening settings

Hi all

I just installed LMMS, and it crashes every time I try to open the settings menu.

I have already jumped over a hurdle where it wouldn't even start when I tried to launch. I did this by making a .lmmsrc.xml file by copying this code:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE lmms-config-file>
<lmms version="1.1.3">
  <app nomsgaftersetup="0" displaydbv="0" nommpz="1" configured="1"/>
  <audioportaudio backend="MME" device="Microsoft Sound Mapper - Input"/>
  <audiosdl device=""/>
  <mixer framesperaudiobuffer="6400" hqaudio="1" audiodev="SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer)" mididev="WinMM MIDI"/>
  <recentfiles>
  </recentfiles>
</lmms>
from this post: https://lmms.io/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=17951
Now it launches and it seems to work fine, I just crash every time I go for the settings menu. I'd really like to be able to use my MIDI keyboard.

Remove lmms-1.1.3 (backup your projects...) and upgrade to the latest beta of 1.2.0. The issue is probably fixed already.

Hi, Welcome to the Forum jorell !

You will be fine if you follow zonk's advice, -you could also try to just alter a line in your file, but honestly, if you only have lmms 1.1.3 installed, then you should update anywitch.
If you on the other hand already have installed 1.2.0 RC6, and it is that one that crashes, then try this line:

Code: Select all

<lmms version="1.2.0-rc6">
instead of

Code: Select all

<lmms version="1.1.3">
But! If you only have 1.1.3
* Backup!
* Uninstall
* Read and follow: https://lmms.io/wiki/index.php?title=LM ... h_Settings

DL and re-install
