HOW TO: Get Line6 Guitar Port to work!

[Symantic11]

Hey hows it going, I'm wondering if you ever found a solution to your problem? I ask because I happen to be in some what of a similar problem, I'm completely new at this and I'm having the hardest time getting the Guitar-Port to work in 9.04 (jaunty)

I've pretty much tried many different times and ways to get this thing to work yet I have not been successful, this is my new error msg I'm hopping maybe you can help me???

I was following the last step from the instructions on

http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-ins...ux1-or-gx.html


last instructions were

(Note: You will atlest have version 2.6.27.14. To check your version in terminal type uname -r)
Now that is updated and you are in the trunk directory

make

sudo make install

*** the error msg I got***


/home/eleven/line6linux/driver/trunk/audio.c:30: error: implicit declaration of function ‘snd_card_create’

make[2]: *** [/home/eleven/line6linux/driver/trunk/audio.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [_module_/home/eleven/line6linux/driver/trunk] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.28-19-generic'
make: *** [default] Error 2

Thanks for you time

Hi there, I'm kind of having the same problems installing the drivers..

something seems to go wrong in the last instruction, sudo make install.

Before I even tried the software center, this indicated the driver was installed, but my soundcard was not listed in the sound settings menu.

So I uninstalled the driver using the software center and tried the instructions here:


Can anybody help? I'd like to know what's going wrong

Hi. I had the same problem with make install. It's looking to copy the driverdocs.pdf file from the sources directory, but it's not in that directory. I found it here: http://www.tanzband-scream.at/line6/driverdocs.pdf, and copied it to the line6usb directory. Then, I re-ran make install, and things proceeded. Good luck!

[MentatGhola]

and copied it to the line6usb directory.

As far as I can tell there is no line6usb directory. Only a file called line6usb.spec, which is literally the usb line6 device experimental driver for linux.

[MentatGhola]

I got an error 2 similar to Synaptic11's.

[princeofnam]

has anyone tried this only to get a really distorted sound to come through? i once had a clean sound once but now it's really messed up.

[princeofnam]

i'm also told to use OSS frequently in Sound Preferences but I see no options in Ubuntu 11.10.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this working in Ubuntu 12.04? I'm having the same issue with the errors.

I just tried it in Hardy Heron (old version 8.04 from 2008) and it didn't work on that either. Got the same errors.
