rc8 causes VSTs to not work on Arch Linux, rc7 works

[righton]

EDIT 3: I have now identified the problem. If i disable the 'Sync VST plugins to host playback' option, it works fine. See later post.

EDIT 2: It seems that rc8 is the problem, rc7 works fine, see later posts.

EDIT: My initial problem was that all VST plugins cause my LMMS to crash. Now, they just don't produce any sound, see the fifth post in this thread.

Hello,

at this point I'm fairly certain that all VST plugins cause my lmms to immediately crash on Arch Linux, since I've tried about 15 different ones. I have already tried reinstalling LMMS 2 times.

Info on LMMS:
LMMS 1.2.0-rc8
(Linux x86_64, Qt 5.12.1, GCC 8.2.1 20181127)

After LMMS crashes, wine is still running, and I have to manually kill the processes.

Thanks

Ok so RC8 -but is it the supported AppImage-RC8 ?

If not get it here:
First:
*Back-up your own stuff
*Un-install current installation
*(re)move the config dot-file
https://lmms.io/wiki/index.php?title=LM ... h_Settings
*download a fresh new installation-pack Linux-user AppImage on the Linux-tab!
https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/releases/d ... 4.AppImage

Let us know the outcome :)

Hello musikbear,

I have only now been able to try your suggestion.
While LMMS no longer crashes upon trying to load a VST plugin, it now gives me this error:

System information:

    Host system: Linux

As with the first case, it doesn't matter which plugin I try, I always get the same result.

Do you have any more suggestions for me?

Thanks

EDIT: maybe good to note, all these plugins have worked for me before. Not sure what I did to have it be like this.

[musikbear]

it now gives error :: 'Show Details' gives this:

So strange. I wish i had better insight in Linux, but i dont :|
There is however one thing that caught my eye

Code: Select all

 Wine build: wine-4.5
    Platform: i386 (WOW64)
    Version: Windows XP
    Host system: Linux

This: Version: Windows XP
I have to wonder if that is newest WINE ?

Do you have any more suggestions for me?

One, but First i like you to confirm that you already have done alle of this

* Removed all components of old/ previous LMMS installations
* Removed dot-file : .lmmsrc.xml
* Fetched the App-Image Linux here:
https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/releases/d ... 4.AppImage
OBS !!!

THIS IS A x64 FILE!
IS YOUR PC x64? ... it must be, you would have warnings if it wasent, but ..have to ask

* installed that App-Image without hiccups or warnings

All of this went fine ?

Then i only have one thing left..
Try the 'proof-of-concept VST, to test if VST works at all
Get MDA-Piano http://mda.smartelectronix.com/synths.htm
It is very small in size, and you can just copy it to your folder. -Eg NO installation! Further its a quite good piano-instrument, so it is a win win

If that fails, then im stumped, and need a Linux wizard

[righton]

Hello musikbear,

the wine I'm using is the most recent one. I am using the lmms version you have linked. The mda piano plugin isn't working either.

It seems the app image file is an executable, not something that installs something on my system. I can't spot any error messages in the console while running it.

Maybe interesting:
I have now created a new wineprefix, and ran lmms pointed to that one. While LMMS doesn't crash and wine doesn't show me error messages, it seems that all my VST filters mute the instruments, and all VST instruments don't produce any sound.

When I click on 'test sound' in winecfg, it plays the test tune just fine over pulseaudio. In lmms, pulseaudio is selected as my audio interface.
I have tried both 32 bit and 64 bit wine prefixes. My Arch Linux is 64 bit.

Am I a lost cause?

Thanks

[musikbear]

Am I a lost cause?

Neee 'lost' -no, but rather 'well hidden', im afraid..
Now a linux wizard is needed..

[righton]

Hello,

I have now tried the rc7 version of LMMS, and it works perfectly! It seems that I have problems with rc8.

I will try updating my system when I get the chance to see if it is due to some incompatibilities with older libraries.

Thanks

EDIT: I have upgraded all my packages, and the problem persists with LMMS 1.2.0-rc8. For now, I will use rc7, hopefully the new version doesn't have cool new features I'm missing out on. Thank you

[righton]

Hello again,

I have now identified the problem being the 'Sync VST plugins to host playback' setting. If I disable this, it works fine.

The rc7 version does not require me to disable this setting for VSTs to work.

Also, it seems that choosing 'no embedding' causes VSTs to work that have not previously worked.

Thanks

[musikbear]

OAHhh shooot.. I knew that! Its just that im not a linux user. Im so sorry, i should have remembered :|
