Unbuntu is part of the Linux OS family. I believe you are going to have to use another OS so you can install the Firebox drivers correctly.

I dont understand your message, sorry :)

I know that ubuntu is a part of linux family but there is no linux dirver on firebox CD. is there any web link to download linux driver ?

Thanks

no, there are only windows xp drivers and mac drivers.

what the previous guy said to do was use a different OS(operating system)
such as windows to be able to load up the firebox drivers for use.

I use my firebox on windows xp clearly but I want to use with ubuntu studio but I cant find a way to use . If you can offer any advise to use firebox on ubuntu studio I'll be happy.

Thanks

hi,
it's very clear: you can't use your firebox with ubuntu studio because you can use it only running a windows or mac os

Check out FreeBoB (http://freebob.sourceforge.net/index.php/List_of_Supported_Devices) (for help check out the Ubuntu forums (http://ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=21441832)).

[BrN]

Thank for your message rhy7s, :)

I checked ubuntu forum but I didnt find a knowledge clearly about using firebox on ubuntu, In this reason, I tried to ask that forum however I understand that nobody knows how to use firebox on ubuntu.

Thanks presonus firebox forum :)

I've got my firebox to work under ubuntustudio....;)
you have to compile a couple of very simple scripts I've found here:

http://www.nabble.com/-linux-audio-user---dev-raw1394-permissions.-Using-firewire-interface-Focusrite-Saffire-t2835971.html

then, if you're boring to write down this at every log on, then compile like this:

sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules

find this :

# IEEE1394 (firewire) devices
# Please note that raw1394 gives unrestricted, raw access to every single
# device on the bus and those devices may do anything as root on your system.
# Yes, I know it also happens to be the only way to rewind your video camera,
# but it's not going to be group "video", okay?
KERNEL=="raw1394", GROUP="disk"
KERNEL=="dv1394*", GROUP="video"
KERNEL=="video1394*", GROUP="video"

and change it to

KERNEL=="raw1394", GROUP="audio"

close and save and your presonus box light will turn blue as you start jackd...
it's easier than you think at first sight, dont worry.

thanx to my friend sengoku from ubuntu forum:)

1.: The firebox works OK with Linux - no presonus-drivers are needed...

2.: There are some drawback and caution must be applied:

The Qjackctl-Panel cannot handle the Firebox, after you made sure to be in Group disk you can connect the Firebox and then:

run this in a conlose-window:

/usr/bin/jackd -R -t1000 -dfreebob -r96000 -p256 -n3

now you can start Ardour and use the connections of the FB in it - in Ubuntustudio 32bit this works not stable enough, If you run Ubuntstudio 64 or 64Studio the box works very well :-)

If you have the chance to set this in your BIOS, you should set your Firewire-Port to a single IRQ (9 or 10 are perfect...).
