Description

I get the error from the following line when trying to boot LMMS with two different users on the same computer (system is accessed through VNC).

Research direction

Start at src/core/VstSyncController.cpp line 79 and reproduce the reported startup failure with two users accessing LMMS through VNC. Record the exact error and compare single-user and multi-user behavior; done means LMMS boots successfully for both users without the reported failure.
