Hello all, We've been tracking a really odd problem with fxload with regards to loading firmware into a few midisport devices. It's a problem that has been going on for many ubuntu releases and seems to effect many other reported bugs; so during this break we had a bit of an investigation to see if we can get it solved once and for all. At first we thought it was a problem with fxload, it seemed to be trying to use /proc/bus/usb/ even though it's deprecated and no longer installed. Turns out that fxload was just taking the location from udev in a environment variable $DEVICE; investigation in that code then pointed back to the kernel it's self: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311481 We've reached the limits on the kind of investigation we can do on this problem. Although I know that it seems to effect fedora users just as much as ubuntu users. The problem is that the "solution" that's being propagated is to install the proc/bus/usb support package. So the problem "goes away" and no one is filling proper bugs. But I'd like to see if the problem can be fixed totally. I've made a modified version of fxload which uses $DEVNAME (which points to the right place) so people with the midisport problem can fix it in a less bass-ackwards way. Let me know if there's anything that can be fixed, or if $DEVICE is deprecated too. Tested it with Kernel 2.6.27-7-generic.
