Note: Myhrman says it should work with most toneports too but neither of us have one to test it out.
First open your Terminal
Applications> Accessories> Terminal
You will need to get Subversion
sudo apt-get install subversionThen you will need to get the source
svn co https://line6linux.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/line6linux
Change to the directory
cd line6linux/driver/trunk
Time to build from the source but first make sure you have the latest build and headers
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install linux-headers
(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
Now shutdown and restart with the guitar port (or toneport) connected and you should beable to see it in your
System> Preferences> Sound
Only use the OSS drivers for native OS support and to prevent feedback while using Jack Keep the “Monitor” channel muted.
hey thanks dudes this works great!!!

I found out the hard way that the new versions of Ubuntu have the TonePort GX included. If you run the install, your sound will work until you reboot. Check your Hardware Tab in Sound Properties FIRST.
But for older versions, yes, this guide is the trick.

@Jake :
For this kind of general question you’d better ask on ubuntu.com forums ! Or even in the documentation, you’ll find interesting things.
Anyway, when you have to type in a password, nothing is displayed for security reasons, but what you type is still taken into account.
Simply type your password and [Enter] !

I have ubuntu 10.10 and followed this guide. However I cannot see my UX1 in hardware. I then noticed what jake said: I found out the hard way that the new versions of Ubuntu have the TonePort GX included. If you run the install, your sound will work until you reboot. Check your Hardware Tab in Sound Properties FIRST.
Obviously I didn’t look first, I just assumed that it wouldn’t work so I started looking for how to’s on the web. Anyway, I can’t see my UX1 as it is after I followed the guide. Anyone know how to fix it?

hi, have tried the line6-driver on ubuntu 10.10, but as soon as I have made the changes in audacity --> recorddevice = line6 --> and start the record, the system crashes - no network no mouse or any other thing is running - can it be, that this driver is not running with ubuntu 10.10 ?
best regards
hans

Thank you so much for this!!! You are my new hero. Your install instructions worked great and now I can record music without resorting to windows.

The driver installation went well, but i’m looking for playback software to use… like gearbox, or guitar rig. How would I get those to work in linux mint?

I also didn’t see Jake’s comment until much too late. After having installed the drivers per the instructions (which went just fine) and rebooting the toneport did not appear in my hardware devices (only my mobo, my audigy2 and the internal sound device which I guess is audio equivalent to the loopback interface for networking?). I’m not sure if the guitarport was there before I installed these drivers, but it definitely is not there now. So what to do next?

I installed Line6 GX on Ubuntu. It works fine for listening to the music, however as soon as I plug in the bass, it works too but the volume is not equal on each side, the right side is far more audible than the left. Also, as soon as I play along music ( such as with Youtube ), the bass starts making ‘scratchy’ noises through the headphone. I tried adjusting the sound preferences without any luck.
Help would be appreciated !
Thanks again !
