In this machine, we have Ubuntu 20.04 (i suppose). After a few hardware configurations (some cables) (i don't really know about to explain), the mixxx software doesn't open.

So, it shows up in the Activity bar but then it doesn't open.
I tried to kill the process with killall command.
I tried to restart the machine.
I tried to reinstall the Mixxx software from the ubuntu software center, and from the console with the apt-get command.

Any advice would be useful.

I don't have physical access to the machine right now but I can manage it from my house with AnyDesk software.

(P.S.: I am not familiar with ubuntu software almost at all, so please give explanation answers :) )

Edit:

epalxeis@epalxeis-To-be-filled-by-O-E-M:~$ mixxx
mixxx: symbol lookup error: mixxx: undefined symbol: PaAlsa_EnableRealtimeScheduling
epalxeis@epalxeis-To-be-filled-by-O-E-M:~$

I tried to install it from source (link). Same error.

epalxeis@epalxeis-To-be-filled-by-O-E-M:~/Desktop/mixxx-2.3/build$ cmake --build .

I have just comment(//) lines339 and 340 of file /home/epalxeis/Desktop/mixxx-2.3/src/soundio/sounddeviceportaudio.cpp changing this:

#ifdef __LINUX__
    if (m_deviceTypeId == paALSA) {
        qInfo() << "Enabling ALSA real-time scheduling";
        PaAlsa_EnableRealtimeScheduling(pStream, 1);
    }
#endif

to this:

#ifdef __LINUX__
    if (m_deviceTypeId == paALSA) {
    //    qInfo() << "Enabling ALSA real-time scheduling";
    //    PaAlsa_EnableRealtimeScheduling(pStream, 1);
    }
#endif

and then I ran:

sudo cmake --build build --target install --parallel `nproc`

and now mixxx opens.

I don't know what side effects this custom install may do, so feel free to comment.
