Patch for Hercules kernel mod broken by Linux 2.6.31

[thomi]

hey all

i upgraded from ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10 and also updated the hdj kernel modul from:
https://launchpad.net/~rojtberg/+archive/hdjmod

but same output as in above post:
Setting up hdjmod-dkms (1.28+patched+bzr13~oneiric1) ...
Loading new hdjmod-1.28 DKMS files...
Error! No valid dkms.conf in dkms_source_tree or dkms_binaries_only.
/usr/src/hdjmod-1.28.dkms.tar.gz is not a valid DKMS tarball.
dpkg: error processing hdjmod-dkms (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 7
Errors were encountered while processing:
hdjmod-dkms
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

have informed Pavel Rojtberg, who created the above ppa with the hdjmod.. hope he can solve it soon.. cause i need my dj console mk2 working asap ...

nice day

Good morning

btw.. i'm on v3 kernel..

Linux poseidon 3.0.0-13-generic #21-Ubuntu SMP Mon Oct 17 20:18:51 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

maybe can be a problem with v3 kernel?

hey hey hey... GOT IT

i investigated some hours to find out, whats the problem...

i grabbed the source code from the ppa with bzr:
bzr branch lp:~rojtberg/+junk/hdjmod

so i get the newest code...

then i copied the sourcode to /usr/src:
/home/thomi/temp/pavel/hdjmod/hdjmod-1.28.dkms/dkms_source_tree
to
/usr/src/hdjmod-1.28

So a listing of /usr/src/hdjmod-1.28 shows this:
http://i.imgur.com/8xgrn.png

Then i run following commands:
1. sudo dkms add -m hdjmod -v 1.28
2. sudo dkms build -m hdjmod -v 1.28
3. sudo dkms install -m hdjmod -v 1.28

Following is the output of above three commands:

Hey Mixxx DJ's

Good news.. I got feedback from the hdjmod-dkms developer and the ppa package for oneiric with kernel 3.x is repaired..

Right now i updated to kernel 3.0.0.13, added Pavel Rojtberg's PPA, installed hdjmod-dkms and my Hercules DJ Console MK2 works perfect ..

See my steps:

1. add Pavel Rojtberg's PPA
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rojtberg/hdjmod

2. update package list/cache
sudo apt-get update

3. install hdjmod-dkms package
sudo apt-get install hdjmod-dkms

Ubuntu 10.04 update

For convenience of Mixxx users, I builded an automated, kernel-update-proof version of hdjmod-dkms_1.28_all.deb, named hdjmod-dkms_dottornik_1.28_all.deb
Extract the attached tarball, try the package and report any problem!
Works for me on Ubuntu Lucid 10.04
I think also works on others Linux debian OSes and with others hercules controllers like steel and mk4

enjoy your console !!!!
Excuse me for my bad english.....

[lightrush]

Has anybody tried running your Hercules on Linux 3.2.0?

[dreamer]

I think also works on others Linux debian OSes

I am always highly doubtful of this. I'd rather see a proper debian build. If anyone has one (or has success on debian sid), please let me know

Extract the tarball and install the deb package inside

The tarball does not even contain a deb package. Contents of the tarball that I downloaded:

debian-binary (text file with version number?)
data.tar.gz
control.tar.gz

[dirkgently]

I just compiled and inserted the hdjmod module, running debian wheezy/sid and kernel 3.2.8. I had to make some very minor changes to the source and have no idea if it works with the hardware - I built the driver to check before buying.

Edit/update: got the hardware today and it works after some more messing around. I used the source from Pavel Rojtbergs PPA at https://code.launchpad.net/~rojtberg/+junk/hdjmod

Well, on avl5.03, i'm stucked over there:

By the way, mixxx 1.10 + avl5.0.3 = the ultimate combination. Works great on my old pc.

Hey,

i have read and tried a lot - doesnt work:

Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid)
Linux 3.0.0-14-generic
Hercules Dj Control mp3 e2

This is my snipped debug log of mixxx after i started mixxx and tried to set up this midi device configuration:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/912984/


Without debug mode, mixxx crashes..


Also, i have tried the following kernel:

3.0.0-13
2.6.38-10
2.6.38-13
2.6.35-32
