Midisport 2x2

Looks like hotplug of my midisport 2x2 isn't working. When I plug into the USB port and...

Found old Debian Bug#574180 (midisport-firmware: udev rule is not working for midisport 2x2) and this smells like that, but the work around to modify /etc/udev/rules.d/42-midisport-firmware.rules doesn't work for me:

...change:
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", DEVPATH=="/*.0", ENV{PRODUCT}=="763/1001/*", RUN+="/sbin/fxload -s /usr/share/usb/maudio/MidiSportLoader.ihx -I /usr/share/usb/maudio/MidiSport2x2.ihx"

...to:
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", DEVPATH=="/*.0", ENV{PRODUCT}=="763/1001/*", RUN+="/sbin/fxload -s /usr/share/usb/maudio/MidiSportLoader.ihx -I /usr/share/usb/maudio/MidiSport2x2.ihx -D $env{DEVNAME}"


I can manually load the firmware and initialize the midisport if I know the device path for the usb device (from lsusb):

/sbin/fxload -s /usr/share/usb/maudio/MidiSportLoader.ihx -I /usr/share/usb/maudio/MidiSport2x2.ihx -D /dev/bus/usb/005/002

...pmidi:
rickbol@showhorse:~$ pmidi -l
 Port     Client name                       Port name
 14:0     Midi Through                      Midi Through Port-0
 20:0     MidiSport 2x2                     MidiSport 2x2 MIDI 1
 20:1     MidiSport 2x2                     MidiSport 2x2 MIDI 2

Any recommendations on how to get udev support working properly?

Thx,

Rick

 Looks like there's a few posts. do a search of the posts on this forum.

I don't have much luck with the search on this forum. I searched "midisport" and "midiman" and come up empty.

I did manage to come up with a modification to /etc/udev/rules.d/42-midisport-firmware.rules that seems to work for me:

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ENV{PRODUCT}=="763/1001/*", RUN+="/sbin/fxload -s /usr/share/usb/maudio/MidiSportLoader.ihx -I /usr/share/usb/maudio/MidiSport2x2.ihx -D $env{DEVNAME}"

The problem, as you've mostly figured out, is with /etc/udev/rules.d/42-midisport-firmware.rules.  You can fix the problem by editing the file, as you did, or deleting that file altogether.  There's already a correct udev rule in /lib/udev/rules.d/42-midisport-firmware.rules which will work properly if the incorrect file in /etc/udev/rules.d is removed.  Apparently Debian moved the rule at some point and the old rule file was never deleted.  This was discussed in another thread on here somewhere previously, and will be fixed in AVLinux 6.0.

Of course. since you've got it working, you can leave it alone and all will be well.
