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:
- 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?
- 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 modulehandling
Hi,
I do not know the actual cause. But some drivers in ubuntu are put to /lib/modules/kernel_version/ubuntu, the backports package used to put there alsa drivers too. Installing drivers from git required removing them from the ubuntu directory, or somehow forcing depmod -a to skip the directory. I do not remember the details, but you might have a look at that.
Regards,
Pavel.
