Ubuntu 12.04 Vestige missing? VST support not installing?

Having trouble with LMMS? Ask about it here.
Has anyone else experienced Vestige is missing? Has a fix for this (or other way to use vst) been figured out? Are developers working on it? My settings already point to the folder that contains VSTs.

I apologize if this is the umpteenth time someone has posted about this. I just can't seem to find a clear answer that I understand. I've googled rigorously and searched these forums, trying my best to follow various instructions for fixing issues that SEEM to be the same as mine, but not sure. Nothing I tried to follow along with worked for me.

there are 2 topics on these boards that appear to be related:
A: http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/lmms/ ... cise#p1440
B: https://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/lmms ... ?f=7&t=567

tried following along with both threads, but feel like i'm either A: misunderstanding something in the details, or B: not experiencing quite the same issue?

thread A: the solution in the last reply of that link had me very hopeful, but when i extracted the oneiric vst package (at least the one i think i was supposed to download/extract) and copied its lmms folder's contents into my system's lib64/lmms folder, no success whatsoever.

thread B: not fully following, maybe i'm not savvy enough? scared if its requiring me to uninstall wine because i have other important programs in there, and not sure it even fixes my particular lmms issue.
I have the same problem!!
I did not entirely understand the two other posts (links) and I am sorry for that I do not have time to test them both right now.

What I find strange is that I am pretty sure VeSTige worked the first months after I had updated to Ubuntu 12.04, and then it just went missing. (I use Windows for creating music so cannot really remember if I ever have used VeSTige on 12.04). I think maybe an update killed it. Discovered it around july, 2012.
I had the same problem. It seems the lmms-vst Precise package is broken for some reason (https://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/lmms ... =526#p1546). Installing the Oneiric packages worked for me yesterday, including VST, midi controller, etc.

It seems it was already reported here: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.p ... tid=640435

You can find the packages here:

Download lmms-common, lmms and lmms-vst for Oneiric and they should work on Precise.
