tube won't load firewire modules

[mrmjb]

I'm testing AVLinux tube in live mode like I did before installing AVLinux 4.  When I tested 4 everything worked as long as the firewire soundcard was plugged in and on when booting.  With tube I'm hitting a brickwall

Jack won't run using firewire; I'm getting the "cannot load driver module firewire" message.  I had this same problem some years ago when trying UbuntuStudio and I sorted the problem although I've lost the commands I used.

I've tried everything suggested here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FireWire

Here's some output

tester@tester:~$ lsmod | grep 'firewire\|1394'
firewire_ohci          21530  0
firewire_core          34629  1 firewire_ohci
crc_itu_t               1015  1 firewire_core

I then did

tester@tester:~$ modprobe raw1394
bash: modprobe: command not found

and

tester@tester:~$ sudo modprobe raw1394
FATAL: Module raw1394 not found.


When I do

sudo modprobe firewire-ohci


I get nothing back.

Is there anything else I need to try.

I would like to upgrade to tube but I'm reluctant to wipe my working AVLInux4 install before I know that tube will work

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

That's correct.  The firewire modules are loaded.  raw1394 was part of the legacy firewire stack, and has been removed from the kernel as of v2.6.35.  Also, 'sudo' isn't there in AVLinux either, that's an Ubuntu thing. (You can enable sudo in AVLinux if you want to but that's a different subject.) You'll either need to use 'gksu', the root terminal in the accessories menu, or 'su' to change to root in your terminal.

On the legacy firewire stack, I needed to plug my firewire device in before booting.  On the new firewire stack, it seems to be the opposite (at least it did when audio support on the new firewire stack was still experimental).  Try fully booting your computer before plugging in your firewire device.

For more troubleshooting, use these commands:

Code:

ffado-diag
ffado-test ListDevices
ffado-test Discover

If ListDevices and Discover show your firewire device, the next place to look would be your Jack settings.
