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.

Future versions of VirtualBox may fix this problem automatically, or may need a different workaround. Install VirtualBox Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack. Create a VirtualBox instance and install Ubuntu 12.10 on it. Install some required packages for the guest additions: sudo apt-get install linux-h
