Ardour / Plugin GUIs

Hi, I am using Ubuntu Studio 12.10 and am seeing the plugins (LV2 compressor and others) with minimal guis and sometime there are no graphs etc. is it because of the desktop environment or is there any configuration that i need to enable or tweak?

abhayadevs: if this it the Ubuntu build of ardour - they broke it. use the binary bundle from ardour.org if you want to avoid this sort of idiocy.

Yes, i am using the one came with the distro. yeah, i will try installing the binaries…

thanks for the support…
