• how can I activate ableton? Keep getting errors when trying to do so

• If anyone is watching this in 2020 i made a video showing off Ableton Live 10 on Zorin OS! @_uwY

• Unfortunately, you're not going to get good results. Once you start adding new tracks and MIDI tracks it's going to bog down. Most production vsts are tailored for Windows or Mac.

• Would I be able to install Ableton Live on a chromebook running Linux?

• I hope reason is more stable

• link

• Can someone help me? Im getting a launch pad mini and I have an Intel Compute Stick with Ubuntu and I have no idea how to install the software to get it to work, please help anyone

• This works but can't authorize license

• if you want used live ableton on gnu linux used bitwig…it's a native for this system and work perfect. Bitwig is not open source but commercial program….

• i didnt found the file named "setup.msi" after installing…can you help me please??

• Thanks! followed this and had success! I run UbuntuStudio 16.04 and for me Wine supported only Ableton 32-bit version. It does crash a lot and there are many issues but it runs! I prefer LMMS now but there is a nice selection of electronic sounds. I do not recommend buying Ableton to use on Linux, use the trial version.

• If you want to run Ableton Live 9 on Linux, please also consider telling Ableton by adding your +1 on https://www.softwareonlinux.com/programs/191-ableton-live-9

• Hi, I would like to know if I can do the same thing on Kali?

• I installed Linux/ Ubuntu unity on a Chromebook. Reached the step where Ableton Live is downloading then an error appeared: "Error in FS_Check
  The followinf file is located in a noexec mounted filesystem
  It may prevent Wine from working"…. What does this mean and how can I fix it. Anybody??

• I found out on how to install ableton WITHOUT playonlinux. All you have to do is get the Setup.msi file and put it somewhere. Then you install wine if you dont have it but when you try to right click on the setup file and click open with wine it gives you something like you need a windows 7 or higher os so you press the home button and search for wine and when you do that you click on window os or something like that its on the bottom and you scroll up to find windows 7 or 8 and click on it and click apply and ok. Then now you should be able to right click on the setup file and click open with wine and install it. Its not loading up ill find out on how to install it without wine crashing .-.

• My Problem is before it installs it writes that the version is only supported on windows 7, Windows 8 or higher. Can you help me?

• what is the name odf the tune

• Khmm 36 msec is pretty high bro…it should be around 10msec with those settings (44.1kHz, 256 samples buffer)

• Carlsen66,

  I've watched both of your videos for installing Ableton. However, I can't even make it past the first installation process, I get an error, "POL_Wine" crash everytime I try and install something. Or, if I try and make a virtual drive before hand, 64bit, and install the shell needed, it will install but won't launch or allow me to make a shortcut. This is very very frustrating.

• Thanks for your post!

  But what version of Ubuntu are you using, is it 32 or 64-bit?

  I have NO success in following this tutorial using Linux Mint 17, 64-bit.
  The WINE seams only want to simulate Windows XP when adding Ableton Live 9, so the install crashes since it requires Windows 7 or greater.
  I will not switch to Windows, but I'm ready to switch Linux-distribution to get this running.
