Please help with plugin locations

Hi,

I think, I made a little mistake when "installing" the LSP plugins. I copied them with root privileges into /usr/lib/vst

Code: Select all

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  2618608 Apr  4 19:32 JuceOPL.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   539736 Apr 27 08:20 Kars-vst.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  6149712 Apr  4 19:32 KlangFalter.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    35040 Jun 17  2017 Larynx-vst.so
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root     4096 Apr 29 22:02 lsp-plugins
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root    10440 Apr 29 22:03 lsp-plugins-vst-comp-delay-mono.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root    10440 Apr 29 22:03 lsp-plugins-vst-comp-delay-stereo.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root    10440 Apr 29 22:03 lsp-plugins-vst-comp-delay-x2-stereo.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root    10440 Apr 29 22:03 lsp-plugins-vst-compressor-lr.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root    10440 Apr 29 22:03 lsp-plugins-vst-compressor-mono.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root    10440 Apr 29 22:03 lsp-plugins-vst-compressor-ms.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root    10440 Apr 29 22:03 lsp-plugins-vst-compressor-stereo.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  3101464 Apr 29 22:01 lsp-plugins-vst-core-1.1.1-x86_64.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root    10440 Apr 29 22:03 lsp-plugins-vst-dyna-processor-lr.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root    10440 Apr 29 22:03 lsp-plugins-vst-dyna-processor-mono.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root    10440 Apr 29 22:03 lsp-plugins-vst-dyna-processor-ms.so

They have different rights (-rwxr-xr-x vs -rw-r--r-- ) now compared to the vsts I have installed automatically and not by hand. Can this be a problem and can I safely delete them again with root rights? I would copy them into /home/user/.vst then.

I read this other thread where some programs (qtractor, etc.) only run with root and then my alarm bells rang

Probably will be fine but you can

Code: Select all

sudo rm /usr/lib/vst/*lsp-plugins-vst*

to get rid of them. Just put them in your home .vst directory, easier to update as well.

If you want to put them in /usr/ then you should use /usr/local/, that's your safe play area.

Thank you, I'll delete it.
