dCore-xenial

[Jason W]

Ubuntu Xenial is the next LTS release planned for April 21.  We have dCore-xenial working well at least on my setup, it what I use now.  There were some significant systemd related changes that affected Xorg and also the naming of ethernet devices.  Debian has provided a package to deal with this called xserver-xorg-legacy to let us run Xorg when we have not booted with systemd.  This will also benefit the next dCore Debian based release as it is already in Debian Unstable now.  xserver-xorg-legacy is now part of xorg-base and will be imported with any of the usual xorg packges, it does not exist in older dCore ports so they will work as usual.  Also, a udev file adjustment on our end has allowed us to continue to use the tried and true eth0, eth1 network device naming when systemd now insists on using names based on the MAC address and no longer issues eth0, eth1, etc device naming.  Staying with what works for us and backwards compatibility at least for now is the thing to do I think.

The kernel has been upgraded to 4.2.9, and all standard modules are in place.

Please download and test, my full desktop is working for me, bring up any issues you find.

I'm trying to build a usb install using: sce-import dCore-usbinstall I get it to complete and then I get a lot of Segment Faults. I am running this currently on a VMWare VM with 8GB of ram and 2 cores.

I have not been able to get the USB to drive to work yet.

My goal is to have a usb dcore install with a TSE/SCE folder so I can load modules on boot.

Thanks

I just updated the dCore-xenial base libraries, uplaoded to release candidates and also added dCore-xenial DEBINX update to the cron job that was missing.  The DEBINX updating should be good now.  Please download the latest dCore-xenaial.gz and re-import any SCEs and try again.  Thank you.

Fixed the issue!

There was a bug preventing the fetching of the latest Packages data to create DEBINX on our server with dCore-xenial, is fixed now.  If you encountered the menus asking which deb to download during an import session, it was because of this and should be good.
