Bug Summary

Some VSTs (in particular, Genny and YM2612) will not display a GUI.

Steps to reproduce

1. Download Genny
2. Add VeSTige instrument
3. Open Genny.dll (or Genny_x64.dll, identical behavior)

Expected behavior

A GUI should show up

Actual behavior

No such GUI shows up

Screenshot

LMMS version used

LMMS v1.2.0.527 on Linux Mint, built from master branch... a while ago. Will update and see if anything changes.

Additional notes

I noticed several errors from WineD3D saying that some things aren't supported on my GPU. I recognize that my GPU is very, very old. Is there a way to tell Wine from LMMS to use software rendering, since VSTs are not usually something that are very graphics-heavy?

Also, this post was edited because I botched formatting the first time. Sorry about that.

Can't reproduce on Windows 10. This might be a Wine or system thing - can a Linux person take a look? (For what it's worth, these plugins don't exit cleanly but crash instead, but I expect that's unrelated.)

[rdrpenguin04]

This is definitely a Wine-related issue, probably a graphics issue in particular. I'm seeing if there's a potential way to make it not affect users as much.

I get a gui with YM2612 on LinuxMint 17.3
Version 1.2.1 (Linux/x86_64, Qt 5.9.7, GCC 4.8.4)
wine-1.6.2

[rdrpenguin04]

Like I say, it could very well be a graphics card issue. Can somebody try getting GUIs with maybe drivers uninstalled or something other setting changed?

@rdrpenguin04 i have a mint boot, ill get Genny and test tomorrow.

[rdrpenguin04]

In fact, running LMMS with LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 made Genny work. Now, is there a way to make LMMS enable that by default?

[0xf0xx0]

is there a setting for that in the .lmmsrc?

[rdrpenguin04]

Is there documentation somewhere on that? I'm not sure.

[PhysSong]

is there a setting for that in the .lmmsrc?

It's the .lmmsrc.xml in your home directory, a hidden file that stores LMMS settings. And no, it doesn't have any entries for LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE.

[PhysSong]

Anyway, it's better to have a troubleshooting guide or a programmatic way to work around this kind of issue.

[rdrpenguin04]

Could I suggest a feature for LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE being added? That could be a good workaround for anyone else having similar problems.

[rdrpenguin04]

Of course, some setting would be nice, and that setting could probably be pretty easily passed to wine depending on how it's being invoked.
