mplinuxman is still installable from the ubuntu software center (version 1.4, it says). But it doesn't run out of the box because it looks for the old /proc/bus/usb system. Luckily the source code planned ahead The command line that works for me is:
sudo USB_DEVFS_PATH=/dev/bus/usb mplinuxman
Without the "sudo", there's an "error writing to bulk endpoint". Probably one can tweak USB permissions somewhere to avoid the sudo, but I don't care enough to investigate.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
yes, i found the same thing after trying several things ten years later :)
comparing "ltrace mpman" and the man of lsusb revealed the path problem in usb file system.
of course, i never found your message before resolving the problem myself :(, i had my deal of c code reading and trying to extract the relevant non gui code to another language as the oaf i am.
anyway, ln -s did the trick. i put the messge for the archeologists who will try to make an mpman work in 2030 :))))
