Package: alsa-firmware-loaders Version: 1.0.27-3 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
A dist-upgrade on 2014-04-17 replaced the old version 1.0.27-2 with: Package: alsa-firmware-loaders Version: 1.0.27-3 When running hdsploader (as I do on bootup), it failed to find /usr/share/alsa/firmware/hdsploader/digiface_firmware_rev11.bin I looked into that directory and found no hdsploader directory, just: root@audentity:/usr/share/alsa/firmware# ls -alR .: total 196 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 9 2011 COPIED_FROM_lib-firmware-hdsploader_INTO_THIS_MANUALLY_CREATED_firmware_DIRECTORY -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 97652 Oct 17 2007 digiface_firmware.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 97652 Oct 17 2007 digiface_firmware_rev11.bin I seem to recall having to manually create this directory back in Sept 2011 (see the blank file I left as a marker), as it was similarly looking for firmware there. I don't know whether or not it used to look elsewhere for firmware, or whether the firmware was deleted by the DU. So I created the required directory, and all works fine as usual: root@audentity:/usr/share/alsa/firmware# mkdir hdsploader root@audentity:/usr/share/alsa/firmware# cp -a digiface_firmware_rev11.bin hdsploader root@audentity:/usr/share/alsa/firmware# ls -alR .: total 196 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 9 2011 COPIED_FROM_lib-firmware-hdsploader_INTO_THIS_MANUALLY_CREATED_firmware_DIRECTORY -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 97652 Oct 17 2007 digiface_firmware.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 97652 Oct 17 2007 digiface_firmware_rev11.bin drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 18 12:54 hdsploader ./hdsploader: total 96 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 97652 Oct 17 2007 digiface_firmware_rev11.bin I'm guessing that RME Multiface users may have to copy a different file, perhaps like this...? root@audentity:/usr/share/alsa/firmware# cp -a multiface_firmware_rev11.bin hdsploader This is obviously a kludge fix, but it works for now until the package is fixed. Thanks for this brilliant package without which my studio would be silent! -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.14-0.slh.2-aptosid-amd64 (SMP w/6 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages alsa-firmware-loaders depends on: ii fxload 0.0.20081013-1 ii libasound2 1.0.27.2-3 ii libc6 2.18-4 ii udev 204-8 alsa-firmware-loaders recommends no packages. alsa-firmware-loaders suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
