Some sample sounds not making a noise after adding VeSTige plugin

[johnsmith]

Hi everyone.

I am running LMMS on a 64 bit linux mint 17 Qiana OS, and am a new – and very clueless – user of the Linux operating system. Previously, when going to 'instrument plugins' the 'VeSTige' plugin was not available. Late last night (rather carelessly, I am ashamed to say!) I searched around for an answer and came across this

http://nickhumphreyit.blogspot.co.uk/20 ... -lmms.html

Which led me to try

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:irie/lmms

and then

sudo apt-get update

It actually worked, and VeSTige now shows up in my LMMS. But it seems to have caused some other problems. For example, the 'scratch01.ogg' and 'windchimes.ogg' samples (and some others, but I won't list them all) no longer make a sound when added, or clicked. I can still add them to a beatmaker, and, when I press play, the green light to the left of volume still flashes, but they no longer make a sound. LMMS also seems to completely cut down intermittently now, whereas I had no problems before.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but I still have the same issue.

Interestingly, when I reinstall, even before installing the 'lmms-vst-full:i386' files from the software manager (which I just found and I guess I should have just done In the first place!), VeSTige still seems to be there. I wonder if I have somehow installed another version of LMMS elsewhere, which is interacting with the new version and crashing?

On the aforementioned website it does say

“NOTE: the irie/lmms PPA will install lmms version 0.4.13!”

Furthermore, it was instructions for ubuntu, so I'm wondering if I have also installed some ubuntu related files that are interacting negatively as well.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

i have one idea, but that is completely unrelated to your linux issues.
Current release of lmms (1.1.3) has a peculiarity (bug) around muted beat&bass-tracks in song-editor.
If you have any muted beat&bass-tracks[, could you try to unmute those,just to make sure that it is not this dumb bug, once more :p

Otherwise im afraid you need to wait for a serious linux wizard, im pure windows, im afraid :/

Hi there.

Thanks for the reply

I don't think it is that. Could I just double check what you are saying? So if I open up a new LMMS file, and go to song editor, you are asking is the green light switched off next to beat/bassline editor? The thing is, this happens even when I am starting from scratch, so I guess it must be something else?

Thanks for trying anyway; I will make sure to remember that bug in case it gets me in the future.

i definitely expect that this issue is gone in new release :)
It looks like its a linux thing then :/
