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

Configuration

Storage

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

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-

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
