Nice!

Is it just me or are the permissions of Modartt's 7z files really messed up?! I had to mess with the permissions of the standalone, linuxVST and LV2 to get them to run at all on my system, now that that is sorted out this is looking really good! Nice to have a 2 Channel version now without hacking the linuxVST soname.

I think I've the same issue:
lilv_world_load_bundle(): error: Error reading file:///home/derick/.lv2/Pianoteq4STAGE.lv2/manifest.ttl

Anyone know how to get Ardour to recognise this? I installed the lv2 plugin, into the lv2 folder but i don't see it showing up. I did have a permissions issue with the VST version before on Ubuntu and had to change the permissions (can't remember how, i was given instructions on Ardour IRC). The time i was having that problem though, even though it wasn't showing up in the plugin manager, if i refreshed the plugin manager it said it couldn't find it or something to that effect. I'm not getting any such message from Ardour this time and it's not showing up in the plugin manager, only the VST version which is already install on AV Linux.

Run ardour from a terminal and watch for the first messages printed.

As others have said before, some hosts have issues with lv2 plugins with spaces in the filename (in 2013, really?).
If that is the issue you have with ardour, remove the spaces and edit manifest.ttl 'binary' tag as well.

This is what showed up -

Error opening file /usr/lib/lv2/Pianoteq 4.lv2/manifest.ttl (Permission denied)
lilv_world_load_bundle(): error: Error reading file:///usr/lib/lv2/Pianoteq 4.lv2/manifest.ttl

How do i change permissions? I should take note of it this time

Code: Select all

cd /usr/lib/lv2

To remove the space:

Code: Select all

sudo mv Pianoteq\ 4.lv2 Pianoteq4.lv2

To check permissions:

Code: Select all

ls -lR

Code: Select all

cd /usr/lib/lv2

To remove the space:

Code: Select all

sudo mv Pianoteq\ 4.lv2 Pianoteq4.lv2

To check permissions:

Code: Select all

ls -lR

-rwx------ 1 root root 1603 Apr 11 10:12 manifest.ttl
-rwx------ 1 root root 45347 Apr 11 10:12 Pianoteq 4 (5 channels).ttl
-rwx------ 1 root root 28173244 Apr 11 10:12 Pianoteq 4.so
-rwx------ 1 root root 44845 Apr 11 10:12 Pianoteq 4.ttl

How do i change permissions for that folder?

You need to be root (or use sudo if you have that). Do this:
cd to folder
chmod 644 *.ttl
chmod 755 *.so

space in the file name does not matter.
