DebianOn is an effort to document how to install, configure and use Debian on some specific hardware. Therefore potential buyers would know if that hardware is supported and owners would know how get the best out of that hardware.

The purpose is not to duplicate the Debian Official Documentation, but to document how to install Debian on some specific hardware.

If you need help to get Debian running on your hardware, please have a look at our user support channels where you may find specific channels (mailing list, IRC channel) dedicated to certain types of hardware.

Configuration

Display

VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 8a03 (rev 07)

This requires a later kernel than 4.19.0 (that comes with buster) to work. THe system will boot but xorg will not find any usable displays. The 5.5.0 amd64 kernel from buster-backports does work if the buster-backports version of wireless-regdb is also installed. Also the following lines should be added to /etc/environment:

LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD

Audio

Intel Corporation Device 34c8 (rev 30) -- Realtek ALC3204

This works out of the box.

Mouse

This is identified as DELL0978:00 04F3:30C3 Mouse and as ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse but it works out of the box.

Power Management

Hibernation and Suspend both work out of the box using pm-utils.

WiFi

Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 31)

This needs non-free firmware to work found in package firmware-atheros

Modem

  • None
