Here is what I posted at the time, in response to TaxTime:From what firmware version are you updating?
What part is not working out for you?
*Did you succced to flash the usb with mint?
*Did you succeed to boot your computer with mint?
-Or did it fail in terminal mode, not finding your dac?
I had some problems typing the commands in terminal mode since the keys was not coresponding to the right symbols/letters but once i figured that out it worked.
Also the first time I typed the commands it failed because I did not chose the right usb input on the Okto dac, so it was not recognized when searching usb-ports for Okto product.
Also I had to use an old computer with more than one USB-A ports, since I had the USB-stick i booted from in one and hooked up the dac I was going to flash in the other one.
Well if you don't succeed I hope you get the flash tool from Okto soon.
I wish you luck!
“I had no success with it, trying to update from 1.11.
“Using the Windows update method and file, I can update the driver but the firmware itself won't update.
“Using the USB update method and software, which Okto recommends after an update failure, I couldn't even get Terminal to run in the recommended Linux Mint OS. Clicking on it just brings up the equivalent of the hourglass and then... nothing. (Google discloses that others have had an issue getting Terminal to run in Mint.)”
I later added:
“According to the instructions for the USB method, I should have been able to bring up a Terminal option by right-clicking in the white space on the Mint Desktop. That didn't work so I clicked on Terminal in the application menu. Unfortunately, that only brought up the Linux equivalent of the hourglass, which spun and spun until I was dropped back to the desktop again.
“I gave up after the third or fourth USB stick installation.
“Emailed Pavel, but he's never been quick about responding, so I await a response a few days after.”
I eventually got an email from Okto Customer Service that promised that I eventually get the update tool that was going to circulate among users. That was several months ago.
My unit operates pretty reliably and I don’t even know what 1.2 accomplishes that 1.11 doesn’t, so I am not sweating this too much.
