Consider supporting Linux for Synthesizer V Studio 2

Xubuntu seems like a weird choice, unless you’re on weak hardware. consider bluefin or aurora from universal blue for stability and modern packages. but that’s just a suggestion, feel free to browse around :grin:

I’m running into this issue now. I’ve manage to install and start and login, but now I can’t download any voices: all I get are white boxes. anything else I could try to diagnose and fix this?

Do you have a pop-up blocker running?

Or some tight anti-virus settings?

no, I’m on linux, why would I have an antivirus :grin:

jokes aside, no, the login is successful, after all.

I’ve managed to get it running: what fixed it for me was installed dotnet40 inside my wine prefix.

but the app runs like absolute ass, so I’m not sure if I’ll be buying it after the trial ends. the VM performance was leagues ahead, so I’ll trial it there, as well.

I’ve gone ahead and made a video tutorial for installing SynthV2 on Linux:

For me it involved a few steps that were not described here in the forum, but I’m hoping that this would be the ultimate guide for it, so you could just follow it and be ready to go in 15-20 mins, to help out anyone who stumbles across this thread.

brilliant! very detailed! might be useful to set up a place for the script and config examples!

I got this working on Bazzite, thanks in part to mitori’s video motivating me to give this another attempt. It seems like the browser redirect for MIME types does not work for flatpak browsers. At least for me, I was only able to get this working with a native browser, which suggests to me there is something about flatpak container isolation that prevents shell scripts from being executed as a MIME type.

I had another related issue where my wine prefixes were not respecting my Deskop Environment’s default browser (so I could not target a native browser). I had to uninstall all my flatpak browsers and reboot to get Synthesizer V Studio 2 Pro to launch my native browser.

Also, it seems like the DXVK version for the wine prefix needs to be 2.7.1. My bottles defaulted to 2.7 and I was getting a white screen for the webview 2 components.

Hey. I’m having an issue with when the browser tries to log in. It’s not letting me open up a .sh file.

typically you do not want your browser to open/execute a shell file :slight_smile: so you likely need to set permissions (and i’d suggest as restrictive as possible) to enable only that shell file to be opened by the browser.

I’m using firefox. How could I do this?

sorry, i don’t use firefox due to it’s, ahem, security, so i’m unable to advise precise methods.

what browser did you use?

Why are you using an internet browser to open a .sh file? It’s a file, so you gotta use a file browser.

Basically, the method by which the video directs people to be able to log into synth V 2 requires the use of a .sh file ran on the browser.

Can you provide a video on how to do this?

I’m still running into the same problem: The address wasn’t understood

“Firefox doesn’t know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (https) isn’t associated with any program or is not allowed in this context.

You might need to install other software to open this address.”

Can somebody please show me their browser settings when doing this? Possibly even their kubuntu settings?

my video (posted above) actually goes over the process of downgrading the webview.

I don’t know how to help you with your script/browser issue, though… I would try to register a mime type for x-scheme-handler/dreamtonics-svstudio2. the easiest way to do that (on gnome) is to have a .desktop file for an application (you can make a shortcut using bottles itself) and appending “MimeType=x-scheme-handler/dreamtonics-svstudio2;” to it to the [Dekstop Entry] section. if that doesn’t work, you should be looking into creating a mimetype redirection for your browser in your distro of choice online

I’m on KDE plasma, unfortunately for this. How do you go about making a mimetype for KDE plasma? (I’m scared of touching that sort of thing)

I wouldn’t know how to do that on KDE, I’m sorry, you should google that. but don’t be scared because you really can’t break anything: you just need to create a “shortcut” that KDE would be able to read and add to your app list.
