Thank you for your answer - boy that's one fast uber-procrastinator ;) - about that LV2 GUI thing, when I load such a plugin - I'm using qtractor 0.4.9 on a rt 2.6.33 kernel/KDE 4.4 with no xruns, everything is a-OK - say CALF compressor, a black window with some GUI appears, and then closes quickly, every time, and I'm left with the vanilla cursors interface, witch BTW works very good, thank you very much ; But i'd really like to see those nifty fancy interfaces, if only to sell GNU/Linux to my blind friends..?
It's been like this ever since I installed my first LV2 plugin. In fact I never saw any other interface than the cursor one, even for the other plugins... EDIT My bad, I tried the CALF Monosynth (DSSI) and got a nice interface via the "edit" button... Still got the black window that fades out... Eerie Oo
Also, I can't see any preset..? I'm sure some plugins ship with presets, I see the files pass by as I install some, I want to hear the presets, where are the presets ?! EDIT Well I can see the presets now, never mind. /:
I noticed that in the prefs, no paths are defined, yet when I "add plugin" in a track many are displayed... I only install mandriva packages...
So I tried adding the paths, it's all about /usr/lib/calf, /usr/lib/dssi, etc, but that did not change anything, still a long list of plugins that all work good for what I tested, but w/o any preset or GUI.
About that fading GUI thing, is this something that you guys experienced before, should I experiment with X settings, disable compositing, that sort of thing ? Obviously I have all the libs required to display those windows, but where could it vanishes ?
