[LAU] problem accessing vst gui

[Crypto]

Hi Susanne,

I am not familar with Ardourvst, but I have found that vsthost which is based 
on DSSI-VST has been the best way for me so far to get my VST to run. And 
newer versions of wine have not changed that. On my debian-based distribution 
I can easyly update wine and (which occurs rarely) DSSI-VST.

Do You need Ardourvst as a host for running VSTs (only)? If so You might have 
greater success in getting Your VSTs to run if You use DSSI-VST.

Have You had a look at websites that tell if a particular VST (Your VSTs) runs 
on linux, and with which VST host?

Regards,
Crypto.
