[SOLVED] Can't get linvst to work on Mint 20

Post by kirjis »

I was using linvst with great success on Mint 18.3 for a couple of years, but after I got my new laptop, I just can't get it to work at all. Carla runs my WinVST's (v. 2 and 3) happily.
I've installed and purged and reinstalled Wine and .wine many times and use only two plugins to test (one 64 bit and other 32 bit). I have the multiarch libs installed. I've tried linvst 3.0 and 2.8 from DEB package and tarball. I'm using now linvstmanager to help in testing, but the result is the same. No joy. I'm very puzzled.

The error I'm getting is this one (and the similar one for 64 bit):
002b:err:module:__wine_process_init failed to load L"Z:\\usr\\bin\\lin-vst-servertrack32.exe.so", error c000012f

Has anyone got a working Mint 20 linvst installation? What am I missing?

One way to get that error is apparently due to a corrupt exe file https://askubuntu.com/questions/1215103 ... s-init-fai

If you havn't already, try installing the LinVst zip from https://github.com/osxmidi/LinVst/releases

The usual thing, copy the lin-vst-serverxxxxxx files to /usr/bin and then linvst.so gets renamed to the vst dll's name (where the vst file is located) via linvstconvert or maybe manually.

Thanks, I've already tried all that before, but I tried it again anyway -- still the same result.

As far as I know the LinVst binary files are not corrupt.

Is your wineprefix 64 bit?

Have you installed any dll overrides?

If something is corrupt in your wineprefix then you might get that error.

----------

Error 0xc000012f means “Bad image” denoting that the program’s executable or one of the supporting modules are corrupt. Or there is probably a DLL mismatch and especially seen in programs that use Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributables.

In developer’s terms, 0xC000012F means STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_NOT_MZ, which means the specified image file did not have the correct format. It did not have an initial MZ. It’s possible that the runtime libraries versions are mismatched. For example, the 64-bit version of a DLL may have been accidentally copied to C:\Windows\SysWOW64 directory which is meant to store 32-bit modules.

Yes, and I also have 32-bit libs installed.

No, nothing.

I have tried to remove .wine, install Wine and run winecfg for a fresh prefix. Nope.

I tried the LinVst Debian Buster version on Manjaro and I got the same error that you got.

I've put a Manjaro version on the LinVst 3.0 release page, try that.

That Manjaro version works perfectly, thank you! So Debian version problems, huh? :?

Hey, just saying that after this change, I have working VST2 and VST3 plugins, even plugins that didn't work in my last install (Mint 18.3). Good times!

Hello again ubuntuuser,

I tried a newer version of linvst (3.15), and again get the same error than before. I can get vst2 to work with the 3.0 Manjaro version, as before, and that's fine, but I can't seem to find a working vst3 package now. LinVst3-2.15.zip downloaded from github does not work. I managed to lose the earlier install of linvst3 in the process of dicking around.

Would you also have a "Manjaro build" for linvst3 available?

I don't have access to Manjaro at the moment.

I've put up some Debian-Stretch builds which should work.

The problem seems to be some incompatibility between different distro's Wine builds.

Thank you again, the Stretch version works nicely.

Late to the party here, but yabridge might be worth trying out as well.

It converts windows dlls to .so files. It's worked well for most things I have tried so far.

Thanks, I must try that one as well. Though linvst is working pretty well right now (except that some plugins have sluggish UI). Right now I'm having trouble with lv2vst, which used to work just perfectly before. Sigh. Now _every_ plugin just crashes Reaper and dumps core. Luckily there are not that many lv2 plugins that I use actively with Reaper.
