Install of element-linux64-0.46.6.tar.gz crashes when I add a sound file to Audio File Player. I am launching Element from the appimage executable. Are there installation steps other than extracting from the tar that I'm missing? |

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the prompt response.
I tried downloading the Windows version of element and so far it works
as expected i.e., the Audio File Player doesn't crash when I load a
file. The look and feel of the linux version is also quite different in
that all the GUI elements seem dim. I am currently trying to build
Element from source but meson is unable to find the boost directory.
This seems to be a problem that was fixed in 2017 but has reappeared.
Stephen

No problem.
I don't have a good explanation for that. Linux UI code is the same as the Windows code, no difference in colors.
You system might have a built-in Boost that is too old. see https://mesonbuild.com/Dependencies.html#boost |

Trying to load the free Valhalla plugins (Windows VSTs) causes the Linux Element plugin scan to crash. I've tried placing the Valhalla .dll files in multiple paths and tried running Element with sudo but the scan always crashes in Win10 WSL2/Ubuntu 20.04.02 LTS while working fine in the Windows version of Element. Should I not expect Element (Linux) to load any Windows or Mac VST's from within Linux? Is the Linux version of Element only expected to run Linux native plugins? Should any VST work if this were in a native Linux installation (non-WSL) or do Windows plugins always have to be run from within a Windows host? It sure would be nice to have a cross platform VST/VST3 host using virtualization magic to run any VST/VST3 for any platform on any OS, (specifically Linux).
