Comment 12 for bug 1182604

@Who Thanks for your interest in making LMMS better. Getting an SRU into Ubuntu is not an easy task.
There are issues with the current branch in 14.04 that can be very detrimental.

  The issue with VST plugins working on 64 bit is somewhat complicated as it is bound up in the packaging. You can easily compile LMMS from source and having working VST plugins. However, I have not had the time to track down the issue fully. If you are interested in helping, I'd appreciate it. If you are not interested in helping, then this will be resolved when I (or the Debian packager upstream) fixes this. However, Debian is behind Ubuntu in the version of LMMS they have available. The packager for Debian is not extremely involved with LMMS.

  I have multiple projects I am working on, and I do want LMMS to be the best it can be, however I am not a developer for LMMS. I am a user, like you, that wanted LMMS to be able to run without needing to start it from a terminal. So I decided to figure out how to make this happen. However the VST issue turned out to be more problematic than a simple line in the control file. We may need to separate out all the dependencies and pair them according to which arch we are building for.

Since you are a user, and this is GNU/Linux you have the freedom to fix bugs as much as I do :)
