VeSTige not loading items

[flynngfx]

I'm right now facing an issue where whenever I want to load an item into VeSTige, the program buffers with no result. When I run LMMS through the terminal and try to load anything in, I get:

Code: Select all

remote plugin died! invalidating now.
Remote plugin did not connect.

I uninstalled LMMS and Wine and tried reinstalling it before coming to the forums. If needed, I'm running LMMS on Manjaro 20.2.1. This also comes after a small period (2 weeks at most) of no usage on the computer, and an update to the kernel.

Thank you!

LMMS on Manjaro 20.2.1. This comes after an update to the kernel.
I uninstalled LMMS and Wine and tried reinstalling it

It is of cause the kernel update that has botched something, but what, that is the bit issue. WINE is the obvious, but we also need to focus on LMMS.
are you running our AppImage?

1.2.2 ?
If not, that is what you should use!
WINE also need to be installed in the correct way, and before LMMS -Read:

Try that and Let us know the outcome :)

Just a few small remark.

He is on manjaro and that is not a debian based distro.

Most of that wiki still applies though, but he can't use LMMS from the kxrepositories.
I am on openSUSE, and although it has probably the same Kernel as Manjaro, its also is not debian based.

I do not know the "mommy" of Manjero, but for openSUSE its slackware.

Back to the problem.

First step is to get as musicbear said, 1.2.2.

If Vestige then still does not work, it's an wine issue.


I am not familiar with manjaro, I only know its like the openSUSE I use, a rolling release.

I know its not the Linux way to download a program from any site, but because so many package builders,
had issues with compiling LMMS for us, the LMMS devs made an appimage file.

This appimage file is confirmed to work on Debian, Arch, Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora and openSUSE.
Because we know it runs on Arch it should work on Manjaro too.

I tried installing LMMS through the pacman repository, and when that didn't work, I also tried the AppImage, the latter I'm currently using. I also updated the kernel after I faced the issue and nothing happened. Knowing it's a Wine issue, what should I do to face this?

Thank you, again

I hope its a question about install sequence.
The correct way is what i told you yesterday, have you tried the tips in that article already?

I think you have two options.

Best option, is to tell pacman about your problem.

It's what I did on openSUSE, I started on the forum asking for help, and ended up emailing the guy who compiles LMMS for openSUSE.

They were happy I did, because nobody had told them it was not working..... They did not know there was a problem.


Other option would be, compile wine yourself, but unless you know Linux much better then me, I would not do that.
Some programs are easy to compile yourself, LMMS and wine are not.

So a manjaro forum and or:

https://archlinux.org/pacman/

If you find bugs (which is quite likely), please email them to the pacman-dev mailing last at pacman-dev@archlinux.org with specific information such as your command-line, the nature of the bug, and even the package database if it helps.

You can also post a bug to the Arch Linux bug tracker Flyspray. Be sure to file bugs under the Pacman project.
