Bug Description

Binary package hint: midisport-firmware

The package installs the following sets of udev rules:
/lib/udev/rules.d/42-midisport-firmware.rules
/etc/udev/rules.d/42-midisport-firmware.rules

The 2 files are different and the /etc rules file did not succeed in uploading the firmware to my MidiSport 2x2. The /lib rules file did succeed.

I fixed my box by copying the /lib version to the /etc location.

My initial thought was that the /usr/local/share/usb/maudio location referenced in the original /etc/udev/rules.d version did not exist - but there are both /usr/share and /usr/local/share maudio directories, so the problem must lie somewhere else in the scripts.

I was using M-Audio Oxygen Keyboard in udev v237, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

According to lots of the changes in udev since v136,
the rules configuration of this package (from sourceforge) is out of date.

The newest fix I can find is in following repo:
https://github.com/oeai/m-audio-usb-midi-fw/

I have to change all the rules 'SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device"' to 'SUBSYSTEM=="usb"' before installing it,
However, it finally works for my keyboard.

Hope this helps.

By the way, the midisport-firmware rule file lies in /etc/udev/rules.d/42-midisport-firmware.rules still works.

I'm running Ubuntu MATE 18.04.2 in VirtualBox 6, and have my MidiSport UNO routed to the VM. This package isn't working for me.

It doesn't install anything in /etc/udev/rules.d, although it does in /lib/udev/rules.d.

I tried copying the /lib/udev/rules.d/42-midisport-firmware.rules to the corresponding /etc location and rebooting, and the device shows up as "MidiSport 1x1" in ALSA utilities, but attempting to send data to a synthesizer via the interface does not work.
