I think that the developer of KXStudio/Carla will reply himself. But for now: what version of Mint are you using (i.e. on what Ubuntu version is it based?). Are you using the KXStudio repository? What version of Carla are you using (i.e. the git or the alpha version)? There are recent developments in Carla you might want to check, see: https://kx.studio/News/
Strange enough looking at the Carla programs in the repository I just now found out that one Carla program that I thought I had installed was not actually installed, so I did it again. Now I can open two Carla programs by means of the icons on my desktop.
Next I will see whether I can also run VST's in Carla...

So overall it's a great program!
Has LinVST some options that Carla doesn't (and does it run on a 32-bit system)?
See my post here about my experiences w/ LinVST, Carla etc. Summary for LinVST:
LinVST compilation went well on my old Mint 17.1 machine (there's also a Zip file w/ precompiled binaries for modern Debain based systems). Just remember to rename the file "Makefile-embed-6432" to "Makefile", else: no 32 bit support. You also have to install the so called multilib versions of gcc and g++ for 32 bit support.
LinVST bridged 32 bit Windows VST's work fine in a lot of DAW's but not in Qtractor, alas. The knobs of your virtual synths turn around like crazy and buttons go on and off 10.000 times a second.
LinVST bridged 64 bit VST's on the other hand work fine in Qtractor.
Dunno if LinVST runs on a 32 bit system, but it sure has some caveats for 32 bit Windows VSTS!
