Linux Mint support #4

Closed granteagon closed 8 years ago

granteagon commented 8 years ago

Is Linux Mint support possible? What would need to happen in the code to make it work? I'm willing to take a crack at in on my machine and do a pull-request if it works.

Thanks

Only reason why Mint is not support is that it's not using systemd. If they make a switch to systemd in near future I'd be willing to extend this tool to Mint as well.

Until then, if you feel like give it a try, please feel free :)

@granteagon could you please tell me which version of Mint are using?

I manged to install the driver on Mint 18 Cinnamon. Downloaded if from official website, chmod +x displaylink-driver-1.1.62.run && ./displaylink-driver-1.1.62.run. After it was done sudo systemctl start displaylink, but I am not sure if this was needed, if it did anything at all. That's it, it works now :)

In latest commit I've added support for Mint Linux (sarah, rosa, petra, olivia).

Please pull the latest version of debian-displaylink, and let me know if you still have any problems.
