Cant get VST plugins to show on Linux....

[picklesque]

I had already installed LMMS and I installed Wine. Then I read Wine needs to be installed first. So I uninstalled LMMS and reinstalled it. But no sign of Vestige or any other Windows related stuff. What am I doing wrong?

I'm not a Linux wizard, but we'll try our best to help you.
Also, welcome to the Lmms forums picklesque.

Yes Welcome to the forum picklesque! First, For you all important links:

I dont know what distro you have, and i an not linux expert either, but i could hope that this viewtopic.php?t=1662#p7308
perhaps also is the way for you?

Let me know if it worked, if successful, then im almost appt for a sticky on this issue :)

Yep. That's why I recently, deliberately bumped up that same topic, just in case.
I found the cases too similar.

On another note, we really gotta find, some super experienced Linux users, for special cases like this.

Thanks for the tips......you all seems like a friendly bunch. I solved the issue finally figuring out how to download from the KX studio repository. A static noise happens sometime instead the sound, i think that has to do with the fact I'm running Linux through VirtualBox.

Thanks again guys

I think some Linux distro's take out certain stuff. I do not know why they do this though.

When I have a problem with lmms on openSUSE, one of the places were I ask for help is packman.

Packman are the guys and girls building multimedia packages for openSUSE.

Now why does (open)SUSE not include this stuff themselves ? Because a lot of the multimedia stuff is not opensource.
Its a license thingy.

Opensource means everybody can see the code used to write the program or operating system, like Linux.

One problem with helping Linux users is, that there are many Linux distro's.
Although under the hood they are 99% the same, there are small differences, which makes helping people more complicated.

The names of Distro's we are mostly likely to see are Ubuntu, Mint, openSUSE, Fedora and Arch.
They all need wine for vst.

@ picklesque
Why are you running it in virtual box ?

LMMS has a Linux and Windows version.
