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. |

Legend :
= OK ; Unsupported(No Driver) ; = Error (Couldn't get it working); [?] Unknown, Not Test ; [-] Not-applicable
= Configuration Required; = Only works with a non-free driver and or firmware
Important Note
Installation tested with Jessie RC1 as per notice in guide for InstallingDebianOn/HP/EliteBook 840 G1
Configuration
Storage
main disk bay is recognized as sda
m2 slot for small SSD is recognized as sdb
- second m2 slot (unoccupied WWAN slot) was not yet tested
SW RAID was set up, following Multi HDD/SSD Partition Scheme, SSDOptimization
Audio
- ordering of the recognized cards was reversed
- options for modprobe had to be prepared
/etc/modules.d/snd-hda-intel.conf
options snd-hda-intel id=PCH index=0 options snd-hda-intel id=HDMI index=1
Touchpad
with synclient the emulation of simple tap and 3rd button was enabled
synclient TapButton1=1 synclient TapButton3=2
double tapping on the LED to (un)lock the touchpad is apparently only possible by patching the kernel 1, 2, 3
Power Management
- installed TLP from sid repositories
- acpitool (and entities in /sys) functioning ok
collection of battery stats was done following 720338
WiFi
- wireless button should work with hp_wireless module loaded, LED seems not to show real status
firmware-iwlwifi was installed
Bluetooth
Works if firmware-iwlwifi is installed
dmesg | grep -i blue
Bluetooth: Core ver 2.19 Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized Bluetooth: SCO socket layer initialized bluetooth hci0: firmware: failed to load brcm/BCM20702A0-0a5c-21f1.hcd (-2) bluetooth hci0: Direct firmware load failed with error -2 bluetooth hci0: Falling back to user helper Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: patch brcm/BCM20702A0-0a5c-21f1.hcd not found Bluetooth: BNEP (Ethernet Emulation) ver 1.3 Bluetooth: BNEP filters: protocol multicast Bluetooth: BNEP socket layer initialized
Keyboard's Hotkeys
Brightness
again inspired by InstallingDebianOn/HP/EliteBook 840 G1
/etc/acpi/actions/hp_brightness.sh
bri=$(cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness) case $1 in up) bri=`expr $bri + 50` ;; down) bri=`expr $bri - 50` ;; esac echo $bri > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
/etc/acpi/events/hp_brightness_up
event=video/brightnessup.* action=/etc/acpi/actions/hp_brightness.sh up
/etc/acpi/events/hp_brightness_down
event=video/brightnessdown.* action=/etc/acpi/actions/hp_brightness.sh down
Volume
- the fn+f8 (microphone mute) does not generate any ACPI or keyboard event, LED is always on
- volume and mute generate ACPI events
/etc/acpi/actions/hp_volume.sh
case $1 in up) amixer set Master 5+ ;; down) amixer set Master 5- ;; mute) amixer set Master toggle ;; esac
/etc/acpi/events/hp_volume_mute

event=button/volumeup.* action=/etc/acpi/actions/hp_volume.sh up
/etc/acpi/events/hp_volume_down
event=button/volumedown.* action=/etc/acpi/actions/hp_volume.sh down
Screen mode
* using netcat-openbsd a shell trigger in the user X session was implemented
~/bin/watcher_acpi.sh
socket=/var/run/acpid.socket nc -U "${socket}" | while read event do case "${event}" in video/switchmode*) ~/bin/monitor_switch.sh ;; esac done
Sleep button
- returns
