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.

Important Note

This article is about the Gigabyte Z77-DS3H Desktop Motherboard and Debian Wheezy running on it, GRUB with MBR booting. Did a targeted install.

Configuration

Display

Audio

  • Audio didn't work initially and I was encountering errors while booting. No sound output was available and just the standard devices were visible.Installed ALSA's upstream version from ALSA's homepage and used the alsa-compile script.

Ethernet

The board has a built in Atheros AR8161 Gigabit Ethernet controller which didn't work out of the box. Had to download the ALX Driver from The Linux Foundation's Networking workgroup. This driver was in the upstream stable kernel by the time I needed to install it so chanses are that when you are reading this the Atheros AR8161 will be supported out of the box already!

Compilation is pretty straight forward: 

sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-generic linux-headers-`uname -r`

Unpack and compile the driver with make: 

tar -xjf compat-wireless-3.6.8-1-snpc.tar.bz2
sudo su
cd compat-wireless-3.6.8-1-snpc
./scripts/driver-select alx
make
make install

Add kernel module: 

modprobe alx

You can now check to see if the card is detected: 

ifconfig -a

Mouse

Power Management

  • Not tested (will do)
