After making the link to MySql lib I added it to the backup (.filetool.lst)
There was one instance of a Segmentation Fault which has not repeated despite several crashes since. There has been instances of failure to write to an xml file in home directory which looks to me like the cause of the startup crash, but still trying to narrow the fault down.
Meanwhile, Alsa needs to be removed as a dependency as OSS + alsa-plugins succeeded for my configuration where Alsa consistently failed to configure the correct sound card.
Installed coreplus to a dedicated SSD within a media center with an Nvidia 560ti video card driving a Samsung 48inch 1080P monitor using nvidia-glx, nvidia-settings and Xorg7.5 My big issue was that Alsa consistently assigned the Nvidia HD Audio via HDMI as the primary sound card, which it is not. The primary PCIe Sound card although detected in config setup would never be used despite blacklisting HDA-NVidia etc etc.. So gave up.
used OSS instead with these extensions successfully:
OSS.tcz
ossxmix.tcz
alsa-pluginstcz
OSS_alsa.tcz
tried using OSS_alsa.tcz inplace of alsa-plugins without any success, as it turns out we need both.
Sure is nice to see core running on the big screen at HD quality
My next issue is my entire library of HD video is on many TB's worth of raided drives without a driver lol what next?
