Hercules DJ Console RMX and Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat

I just got my Hercules DJ console RMX to work on my Asus Eee Pc with Ubuntu netbook edition 10.10 with help from Progressif.

Using a terminal, follow these instructions:

1. First, update your package cache:
   

   sudo apt-get update

2. Then, install DKMS by running:
   

   sudo apt-get install dkms

3. Get this .deb package from Progressif with wget:
   

   wget http://if.tehif.eu/hdjmod/hdjmod-dkms_1.28_all.deb

4. And final step, installing hdjmod-dkms for Ubuntu to recognize your DJ console:
   

   dpkg -i hdjmod-dkms_1.28_all.deb

And you're done. Now you should have support to your Hercules DJ Console RMX.

Extra points: Setup Mixxx dj software to use your dj console.

I use Mixxx on Ubuntu with my RMX. Here's how

1. Install Mixxx
   

   sudo apt-get install mixxx

2. Make sure you've plugged in your Hercules DJ Console RMX (Might work for other Hercules controllers as well. I don't know.
3. Setup Mixx to use RMX as sound output. Start Mixxx by either selecting it from the application menu or Alt-F2 and write mixxx
   

   Go to Options > Preferences (CTRL-P) > Sound Hardware

   Your RMX should be in the list. Select it.
   
4. While still in preferences, expand MIDI controllers, Select your RMX and check the "Enabled" checkbox

Now you should have a working DJ setup with Ubuntu 10.10, Mixxx 1.8 (at this time) and able to use Hercules DJ console RMX.
