VSTs won't work...

[Douglas]

I've been using LMMS 1.0.3 for about two years now, and that entire time I've had to stick with the instrument plugins that come with LMMS. I've done a lot of research on this, but nothing seemed to help. I am using Debian.

Symptoms:
- Whenever I attempt to load a VST, it says "The VST-plugin whatever.dll could not be loaded for some reason. If it runs with other VST-software under Linux, please contact an LMMS-developer!"
- It does not work for any VSTs, including Synth1.

Restrictions:
- My computer is on the top floor, meaning no network. This means I have to manually build anything I want to install.

I have tried many versions of wine, but I can't remember which ones I've tried, so act like I haven't tried anything. I've done dozens of hours worth of research, but I kind of gave up about a year ago. Hopefully somebody can find the solution!

Sorry for the lack of info, but I can't remember what I've tried so far, since it was so long ago.

Ok so its the distro / wine

I have tried many versions of wine, but I can't remember which ones I've tried, so act like I haven't tried anything.

have you read this:
http://lmms.io/wiki/index.php?title=Wor ... _.26_Linux

Not being online, is ofcause a snag in respect to upgraders, but i suppose linux can do that too..

The KXStudio "lmms-vst-full - Linux Multimedia Studio - full VST support Using Wine"

would be a good one to try, i think

@musikbear: Yes, I viewed that website. Without network, I cannot use wget to get some of those materials, and apt-get can't get packages from the internet. I have to manually build and install anything I get. Exactly what version of Wine should I get? Should I get version 4 or version 5? Should I get 32 or 64 bit (my system is 64 bit)? I'll need to know exactly what version I need so that I know that I'm installing it wrong, not just using the wrong version. Also, some help with how I need to install it would be helpful. I apologize that this is a very personal & specific question, but I really want to use VSTs.

I have been thinking about this, and I do not know how to help you.

We need somebody from debian ideally one who knows lmms.

I can tell you what version of wine I am using but I am on opensuse leap.
Opensuse is not debian based.

Installed Version Wine
1.8.6-15.1

The 15.1 one part is prob for opensuse and has nothing to do with wine.

No, so gps are correct.
You need to email the debian pack-man, and see if they can instruct you
There are SO many distros and wine dependencies, that i have lost count.
The best we have right now in the KXs bundled version, i think you should try that

That KX studio distro is Debian ( ubuntu) based.

Find a friend or family member with internet, that will download it for you and burn it to a dvd. or usb stick?

Thank you, I've never heard of KX Studio. I'll try that out!

I would prefer a method with LMMS though, so if anybody finds a breakthrough, that would be fantastic!

That KX studio distro is Debian ( ubuntu) based.

At the website below, if you scroll down to LMMS, it says "Ubuntu Only". Does this mean it won't work, or did I misunderstand what you said before, and I'm getting it from the wrong place?

I have now tried many different version of wine (again). I have tried both the 32 and 64 bit versions of both Wine 4 and Wine 5. I need to get this working!

Hi. Did you get through?
