I am using LMMS, through an appimage file. I installed Carla from an official opensuse source.
The good news when I start LMMS, Calra does shows up in LMMS.
When I try to add a VST ( a windows .dll ) into Carla, I am getting an error about a invalid elf header.
This VST works through Vestige in LMMS, so I know on my system wine is not the problem.
( both LMMS and Carla do not need wine to run on Linux, but they do need it if you want to load (window) vst)
Because I have some experience with LMMS and Carla, I might know what wrong.
Carla not compiled with wine support.
I did find my old topic about this: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthre...ighlight=carla
But then I was still on leap, right now I am on Tumbleweed. :)
I will probably have to compile Carla myself.
Questions:
How hard is to compile on the obs ? Is it much different from compiling on you're own pc?
Do I need to install git on the obs? Like I would need to on my own pc?
I remember something about a git clone command, to copy the source code.
Were I got confused the last time, I can't install wine on the obs ?
On you own pc, you install wine and then also all the dev files, does it work like this on the obs?
I am not sure if I am up to it, but since I probably have to compile it myself anyway, it would be nice if I can spare others some work.
Can somebody confirm, that wine is the problem, with this Carla version ?
Looking at the dependencies from within YAST, wine is not listed.
This worries me, but I am also confused about something:
Next text is copied pasted from YAST:
Carla is an audio plugin host, with support for many audio drivers and plugin formats. It features automation of parameters via MIDI CC and full OSC control. It currently supports LADSPA, DSSI, LV2, VST2/3 and AU plugin formats, plus GIG, SF2 and SFZ sounds banks. It futher supports bridging Window plugins using Wine.
With that text, it seem odd to me, they did not compile it with wine support ? :\
Looking in YAST, I could not find an email address.
How to proceed ? Who to contact?
I did already in Carla go into the settings, and enabled experimental features.
One reason why I would like to use carla, some VST that do not work through Vestige, might work through Carla.
Carla should also be able to load Linux VST, something Vestige can't.
An example: https://amsynth.github.io/
Amsynth is available, through the official repositories.
Some days I wonder if I should not just change distro to KX studio, then LMMS and Carla should work out of the box.
But I like openSUSE too much. :)
A while ago, on the Linux musicians forum, I found a post of an opensuse user, who was about the start repositories, for LMMS and Carla.
Does anybody know the status of that ?
I did offer to help, but have not heard anything about it since.
One small advantage I have, I know how to contact the LMMS devs, and the Carla dev.
A bit off topic, an LMMS tip.
Download the appimage file, from the official LMMS site. https://lmms.io/download#linux
Then make the file executable, and start LMMS.
Then go into setting and disable plugin embed.
This solves an issue, were the LMMS gui sometimes goes on a strike.
I can confirm this solution works for us on suse, but also for people on mint and ubuntu.
The LMMS devs already know about this.
Do not get LMMS from any were else, on the LMMS forums we already had one user on windows, getting his pc infected with a virus, because he got LMMS from a "friend".
You can get LMMS from the official repositories, but I do not know the status of that version.
In the past already had so much issues with that version, I very happy the LMMS devs gave us an appimage version.
If you do use the LMMS version from the official repositories, turning off plugin embed is still a good idea.
