Ubuntu 12.10 x64 + LMMS 0.4.14-rc1 with VST Support May work with other versions: sudo apt-get remove lmms sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa sudo apt-add-repository ppa:kxstudio-team/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install wine sudo apt-get install lmms Solution?  Install the new version of Wine and the KXStudio version of LMMS. This will prompt for all the usual Wine stuff (MSCore Fonts, etc). When the first VST plugin is loaded, it may say "Preparing wine configuration, please wait".  Just wait for it to finish and VST should work.

Problems with other methods I've found: Some mirrors of 0.4.14-rc1 don't include the VST plugin binaries Some methods seem to install an incompatible version of Wine -Tres

Future versions of VirtualBox may fix this problem automatically, or may need a different workaround. Install VirtualBox Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack.
