LMMS • Forums

I've been using the AppImage version of LMMS under Ubuntu, since the version on Ubuntu's repository lacks support for VSTs. It works fine, but will eventually crash, more frequently when there are many VST tracks involved. I've been managing to work with it by saving constantly, specially before doing things that will once in a while cause a crash (like playing the whole track).

It's however annoying sometimes, so I downloaded the windows version (both 32 and 64 bit) to try to run it under Wine and see if it would be more stable. It looks more stable, but right away I noticed the GUI from VSTs would not render properly. The VST would load, and play alright, but when I opened the GUI it wouldn't show the controls, but usually glimpses of whatever was in the background.

I'm wondering if that's fixable, because the GUI is there, just not rendering properly. I can see it's there because some parts of the GUI show when they move (i.e.: those small squares at the right bottom of Synth1 when you play a note, they move and you get to see them)





Anyone has any idea what that could be?

You're topic title is confusing, but I assume you're using the appimage version on Ubuntu ?

You should not on Linux use the windows lmms version, through wine.



Something to try is turn off embed plugins under settings.
That solved my issues but I am not sure, you're issue is the same.

I'm sorry, the title was indeed a bit confusing. The problem was with the Windows version of LMMS being run under Wine. Before I was using the AppImage version, which had the VST's GUI working fine, the issue was the frequency of crashing. That's why I'm trying to use the Windows version under Wine.

Your solution did work though! Thank you very much!

Should I add "Solved" to the beginning of the title?

That would be nice, happy I could help.

Sicne I turned off plug embed, LMMS is as stable as a rock for me on openSUSE.

I think someone added it already!

I'll try the AppImage version with the plug embed turned off, see if it's more stable. But if it's not, the wine version is working like a charm so far
