Your friend can install Mixxx from Ubuntustudio or any other flavour of Ubuntu. So, other than these few issues, I was able to run ‘Virtual DJ’ 7.4.1 on Ubuntu 13.10, quite successfully. If you notice it also, then you can try that. I was able to completely get rid of that by removing PulseAudio and using ALSA. You might also notice a slight delay with loops in ‘Virtual DJ’.

You can somewhat fix this by using ‘Winetricks’ utility that comes with ‘Wine’.Īfter opening it (shown above), choose: ‘ Select the default wineprefix‘ -> ‘ OK‘ -> ‘ Change Settings‘ -> ‘ OK‘ -> ‘ windowmanagermanaged=no Prevent window manager from controlling windows‘ -> ‘ OK.

The only fix is to open Terminal emulator (by pressing ‘Ctrl’ + ‘Shift’ + ‘T’ keys) and restart the display manager by using the below command.Īlthough the desktop can be recovered through it, you will lose all the opened application windows and their data. If you try to maximize ‘Virtual DJ’ and then unmaximize it (also happens if you try to minimize it) then the whole desktop gets stuck. The only major issue is related to Window management. But, except for few minor issues, pretty much all the other features that ‘Virtual DJ’ present you with on Windows, worked on Ubuntu also! (including ‘Sound Setup’, Skins, effects, audio recording etc).

Once it finishes downloading, go to the downloaded location and double click on the ‘Virtual DJ’ setup file.
