Hi there.
I am still maintaining the (inoffical) Ubuntu Alsa Upgrade Script over at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1046137
Perhaps somebody can give me a hint on some installation problems I am running into:
1. Quite some people reporting that /proc/asound/version is still showing the "original" revision after running the upgrade-script instead of 1.0.22.1.
What could be the issue? What is setting /proc/asound/version?
2. I also introduced a kind of restore function. What it does is basically reinstalling all the required Ubuntu packages from the repo to overwrite the (by my script) upgraded files again. a. My first problem was that I was only able to get the original modules activated when running the module assistant. ( module-assistant -f -t -q a-i alsa-source ) Just a re-installation of kernel packages and alsa-packages didn't work. b. When redoing the Alsa Upgrade after the restore (by my script) , I still see in /proc/asound the old Alsa version.
Looks again a bit like I am having slight problems with the module handling
FYI:
Below I run after the "make install" of the driver package
The way the .ko files are handled is that they are copied to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/sound/
#####################
cd ${ALSASRCDIR}/${DRIVER}/
find ./ -name ''*.ko'' > /tmp/alsa_modules
header "Copy modules to target directories..." if [ "`uname -a| grep "2.6.24"`" != "" ] ; then tar -cv -T /tmp/alsa_modules -f /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ubuntu/sound/alsa-driver/${DRIVER}.tar cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ubuntu/sound/alsa-driver else tar -cv -T /tmp/alsa_modules -f /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/sound/${DRIVER}.tar cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/sound/ fi #Extract new modules, overwriting old ones tar -xvf ${DRIVER}.tar rm *.tar
depmod -a
##############################
I obviously lack some kind of understanding how all this works.
Perhaps somebody can show me directions how to tackle the subject.
