If a search is done in the software center for lmms, it is not in Sound/Video. When installed it must be run from terminal (or attached to panel w/ a launcher) I believe this developed in the upgrade to Natty. In Maverick the software center listed it in the proper category, and installed lmms in the Sound/Video portion of the Application button. This program is an excellent substitute for commercial drum sequencers, and would benefit many Ubuntu future users to find it listed clearly in the appropriate section.

I figured out the whole problem with this... and someone may have already known the problem, but here is the solution...
/usr/share/
is missing the lmms.desktop file
If someone has the same problem have them open the terminal type
gksu gedit
then add this
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=LMMS
Comment=Drum sequencer with multiple plugin and midi capabilities
Exec=lmms
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=
Icon=lmms
and save as
lmms.desktop
Whoever is moderating this, please get this file where it needs to go if it is possible. Thanks
