Works ok here. I have added some code to SVN to give more detail on the error you are seeing. If you could try the SVN code (or the next beta) that would be great.

I did try SVN (rev 11537). I did not see any WARNINGS in the log window any more, the plugins (like TAL Noisemaker) did not show up either. I tried -D pluginmanager but gave no clue.

Tried with SVN rev 11547. Now I get warnings for all Linux VSTs in the path. However only five of them are available in the Plugin Manager:

TAL-Filter-2
TAL-Dub-3
argotlunar
ThePilgrim
TheFunction

I looked in the code (/ardour2/branches/3.0/libs/ardour/linux_vst_info_file.cc) and it seems like the message is given if the info file is actually read, opposite to what is said in the warning.

I found the problem! I had most probably broken vstfx info files lying around. After I deleted all files in the .fst dir the plugins started working.
Thanks cth103 for pointing me in the right direction!

OK, great. If it happens again, let us know, maybe something in Ardour is generating bad info files.

I am experiencing the same issue. At the moment, I am able to consistently reproduce it under rev 11650 by simple opening Ardour. If no .fst directory is present (or it is empty), the plugins load nicely. However, if there is a .fst directory with some info files, TAL plugins load no more. Moreover, if I delete a single info file, the corresponding plugin will load again in the next session, but will also fail to load when the info file is recreated.

I attach some info files (.TAL-Dub-3.so, one for a plugin that loads normally, and .TAL-NoiseMaker.so, one for a plugin that does not). Maybe someone with LXVST knowledge could see what's the difference between them -- for me, the only one seems to be the number of lines...

Of course, running Ardour like rm ~/.fst/.* && ardour3 is a valid, although quite cumbersome workaround.

This should be fixed up in SVN 11660.
