Hey Gabo

Excellent.. i'm happy....

I think the steps with the patch must also be done.. cause i have tried your solution without the patch steps and it won't work.. then make also the patch steps and now it works... some error/warnings on "sudo make" but it works...

By the way, until today i had no response from Hercules Support... waiting... for a new driver that fixex the problem with Kernel 2.6.31...

well, patch just replaces the lines, which u can do it manually, as long as u make it correctly!

edit:
example:
u need to delete these lines:

Code: Select all

   card = snd_card_new(index[idx], card_id/*id[idx]*/, THIS_MODULE, 0);
   if (card == NULL) {
      snd_printk(KERN_WARNING "snd_hdj_chip_create(): cannot create card instance %d\n", idx);
      return -ENOMEM;
   }

and replace them with:

Code: Select all

   err = snd_card_create(index[idx], card_id/*id[idx]*/, THIS_MODULE, 0, &card);
        if (err < 0) {
          snd_printk(KERN_WARNING "snd_hdj_chip_create(): cannot create card instance %d\n", idx);
          return err;
        }

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:

EDIT:
Could you please add this link to the top of the discussion? I think it would be useful.

Thanks iltony.

Can someone please confirm that the .deb works for them?

Hi and Good Morning

Now i get a response from Hercules Support (german):

Wir möchten Sie Informieren dass Hercules nur für die Softwares und
Treiber die wir auch mit den Konsolen anbieten Sopport leisten kann.

That means in english:
Hercules does only support Drivers from Hecules.

????????

I answered, that the Hardware and the Linux Driver are offered from Hercules, so, why they don't support???

I will try to get out more Information, or even the Sourcecode..

bye and have a good day

For me the .deb doesn't work...
It's a bit sad, because when i run mixxx.
The MK2 audio device seems to be recognise but... that's all! I can't use anything but the joystick o_O

Hope it helps

[iltony]

If the deb installs correctly, then it should work. Please type in a terminal

Code: Select all

lsmod | grep hdj_mod

and tell me your output.
Another suggestion I'd mention is, when you run mixxx, have you tried going into menu Options > Preferences > MIDI Controllers > Hercules DJ Control MK2 MIDI 1 > Activate?

[Msieur Piero]

Sorry, the deb didnt install correctly, in fact...
It said something like : hdjmod dkms is missing

But i succed in making the hercules dj mk2 work with the previous solution (edit device.c, sudo make, sudo make install...)
So, the result of an

Code: Select all

lsmod | gred hdj_mod

might be obsolete
Sorry...

Concerning the options/preferences... manip... It's nor the first time i'm using mixxx nor the first time i'm using this device with mixxx.
That was, furtermore, the way i succed in making the joystick work :$

[iltony]

Dear Piero, about your package issue, please give a "sudo rm -R /var/lib/dkms/hdjmod/" and then try to install the deb again. Mixed manual and automatic installation might be problematic. Warning: if you apported manual changes in that directory, please back it up, just in case.

[Msieur Piero]

Always the same issue :

dpkg : erreur de traitement de hdjmod-dkms (--install) :
le sous-processus script post-installation installé a retourné une erreur de sortie d'état 10
Des erreurs ont été rencontrées pendant l'exécution:
hdjmod-dkms

Sorry, that was that the shell shows during my new try...
If it can help

EDIT : In spite of the apparently failing install, it works... Weird...
Moreover, each time i tried a sudo apt-get upgrade/update/install, the hdjmod-dkms package is shown as partially installed, and tries to finish installation each time i install or remove another package...
