Sorry to bump an old thread but I hit this same problem with DSSI plug-ins failing to launch their GUIs in Qtractor and other hosts. As there was no apparent fix I went on a mission to find one:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 6#p1397476
On my system(s) it was a name resolution issue. I just had to add one line in /etc/hosts for the current host name and IP address and every plug-in worked like a charm.
]]>thanx Cap but it's actually the dssi plugins that are saying no gui in Rosegarden or Qtractor.
hum, latest version o fsthost shouuld have fixed this. haven't used vst in a while, but i will
]]>yo Cap, you found a fix yet Bro?
try
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dssi-vst-git/
and
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fsth … lang=pt_BR
(change PCKBULD of fsthost to get the latest version)
linux-vst I have only one plugin suite, so it could be upstream problem. there are no GUIs
no error messages, the window of the plugin opens but only the frame
DSSI plugins with GUIs. No GUIs are opening
error messages in qtractor trying to open 3 dssi plugins and one vst plugin with dssi-vst:

I have no clue where to begin to search for the problem.
So before I post any output I would like to know if anybody with a updated Arch can confirm this or if this is a problem with my sistem.
Thanks
