Patch for Hercules kernel mod broken by Linux 2.6.31

[cadeirn]

OK, I missed that that patch is only for 2.3.32, and it truly works with that kernel. Sorry.

Good news, karmik users! I've applied the patch to the sources contained in the hercules .deb files, and built a new deb, based on the original one, which is now compatible with karmik. Simply download and install this one and you'll be all right.
Here it is:
http://drop.io/olx0f64/asset/hdjmod-dkm ... ik-all-deb

Used the above .deb on Lucid 10.04 with a Hercules MP3 console and it loads OK. Just trying to get Mixxx too run !

[Msieur Piero]

Does anyone has more concrete results, with the iltony driver (I mean someone who succed in launching both mixxx and the hercules driver) on Ubuntu Lucid Lynx?
I have bad memories with iltony drivers, wich was impossible to install properly on my laptop. Only the pizzapanther's driver works for me, so if somebody else succed in making hercules djs works with mixxx on Lucid, Give a shout!!!
Thanks everyone!

Hey all,
After a lot of fiddling, i finally managed to get my dj mp3 e2 working.

Some of the patches provided here do not seem to apply to the latest drivers downloaded from hercules support
http://ts.hercules.com/eng/index.php?pg=view_files&gid=2&fid=28&pid=215&cid=1

I created two patches, one for kernel 2.6.31+ (mentioned here before) and another for getting the new MP3E2 version working.
also mentioned on http://www.mixxx.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=910&start=10

here you go

Also, i made a .deb with the two patches applied, for the lazy amongst us
http://rapidshare.com/files/399771071/h ... d.deb.html
Sorry about the rapidshare, feel free to upload it elsewhere.

Any questions please PM me

Cheers, and lots of thanks to the mixxx hacking community

Ok i used Gabo instructions and made a deb that works.
http://www.interstellar-tech.com/ocapp/cms/hdjmod-dkms_1.28_karmic.deb

Let me know if others have success with it.

Actually for me it doesn't seem to work because I have a Hercules DJ Control MP3 e2. Does anyone know how to get that working on Ubuntu 9.10?

Hello & Thank you!

Im happy owner of Hercules MK2 and after two days and sunny nights I got it working. Take time mess around Ubuntu 10.04 and kernel 2.6.32-23 with all good suggestions from different mailing lists and this your deb packet is only one which actually works. Then finally i got MIXXX working using your hdjmod-dkms.deb packet.

Happy Mixing: Erska

Hi,I'm an ancient Italian DJ(amatorial level) and I'm trying to use the Hercules dj console Mk2 under ubuntu 10.04(with mixxx)without any success since about 3 months.My english and my experience in linux informatic language aren't good enough to make me able to resolve this problem by myself....So here I am,to ask for someone to help me if it's possible.
I bought the Mk2 Hercules console on e-bay and fortunately I've not spent a lot but anyway I would not be forced to resell it.
If there is someone that can give me an answer,please remember that I need detailed explanation like step by step.
Thank you so much. Peter.

....Sorry I forgot: I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 with kernel 2.6.34-020634-generic.Thanks again... Peter

You absolute superstar! We'd been having no end of difficulty getting our shiny new RMX to work with Lucid Linx.
This package sorted it out perfectly.

Thank you very much for sharing it.

Hi
Could anyone give me clear, step by step instructions of how to get my DJ Console MK2 to work with Mixxx. I've tried installing the drivers from hercules and have followed all the posts re kernels and patches etc but I'm utterly confused so would be grateful to some one to hold my hand and take me through. At the moment, when I load Mixxx it is not identifying any Midi devices as being present, but it does list the DJ console as an output.
Any assistance gratefully received.
Regards
C
