stretch netinstall + helium-dev script.

Installation was smooth, after I got a desktop by using "nomodeset". A few issues though:

• bl-welcome doesn't run automatically

• There were 2 systray power manager icons, because both fdpowermon and xfce4-power-manager were running

• Touchpad had no scroll or tap until I installed xserver-xorg-input-synaptics, and uncommented the synclient line in autostart

Is fdpowermon still needed?

Re: stretch netinstall + helium-dev script.

fdpowermon can go bye-bye in stretch. Xfce had removed "show in systray" from their power manager but returned it, we used fdpowermon so users wouldn't have to install the backport if they didn't want to.

Re: stretch netinstall + helium-dev script.

@damo thanks for the feedback.

bl-welcome doesn't run automatically

bl-welcome will need some rewriting in order to work in Stretch, so it's been temporarily removed from the install list. Please don't install or try to run it - I've no idea what damage it might cause!

Touchpad had no scroll or tap until I installed xserver-xorg-input-synaptics, and uncommented the synclient line in autostart

Ah, this sounds related to that "keyboard freeze" issue. EG around this post: https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic … 183#p45183
Maybe xserver-xorg-input-libinput wouldn't work on your hardware? Perhaps we have to go back to installing xserver-xorg-input-synaptic and xserver-xorg-input-evdev for now?

Is fdpowermon still needed?

No. Thanks for the catch - I've now removed it from the install list.

As johnraff notes, the libinput driver is used in stretch instead of synaptics and the configuration is not as easy as it is with synaptics.

You can enable scrolling & tapping with:

sudo mkdir -p /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
sudo cp /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
sudoedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf # edit options as per `man libinput`

Alternatively, `xinput` can be used but the commands are device-dependent with no way to generalise them (AFAICT):
