Hi All,
Just wanted to let everyone know how installation of Ubuntu 16.04.2 HWE goes when issuing command:
During install it says that package maui-desktop depends on xserver-xorg (which is replaced by xserver-xorg-hwe-16.04), so it would be good to update the dependency of package maui-desktop. But after the installation is finished, the package maui-desktop is not broken, so it seems to be OK.
Kernel module of ndiswrapper is not buildable with kernel 4.8 because we are still at version 1.59 - we need version 1.60 from Debian in order to be able to build it, so all folks who use ndiswrapper for wi-fi SHOULD NOT install the HWE until ndiswrapper is upgraded.
Bumblebee from the bumblebee testing ppa is broken after installation of HWE, so I've downgraded it (together with bumblebee-nvidia and all primus packages) to the standard Ubuntu versions and switching to the Nvidia card works without problems. The only thing is, that during the downgrade I've kept all config files from the testing version (the ones it prompts from /etc/bumblebee). Also all virtualgl packages can be safely removed (they are in local section in synaptic after removing the Bumblebee testing ppa).
I'm using the modesetting driver instead of the intel one, so package xserver-xorg-video-intel-hwe-16.04 was not installed during the HWE installation - all that use the modesetting driver should ensure that it is not installed, or remove it after the HWE installation.
And that's it - after reboot all works fine.
