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

BIOS

Entering the BIOS

Press "Esc" to enter in BIOS

BIOS Settings

  • Advanced -> Secure boot configuration -> configure Legacy Support and Secure Boot :
    Legacy Support Enable and Secure Boot Disable 5

  • Advanced -> Secure boot configuration :
    Clear Secure Boot keys

  • Advanced -> System Options -> Virtualization Technology (VTx) (necessary for avoiding errors listed by dmesg)

  • Advanced -> Built in devices -> Graphics : UMA Graphics

Kernel Update

With the default kernel (3.16) the computer has several issues. For example :

  • Graphic card is not supported, display remains at 1024 x 768
  • SDcard reader is not working
  • it is not possible to get the WiFi to work (not even after installing the non-free package firmware)

  • ...

This can be fixed installing the backports kernel :

Installing the new Kernel

nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jessie-backports.list

add:

deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main contrib non-free

then:

aptitude update
aptitude -t jessie-backports install linux-image-amd64 
apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-intel

Configuration

Display

  • UMA Graphic card is an Intel Corporation HD Graphics 520. It is not supported with original 3.16 kernel, backported kernel 4.9 is needed. With kernel 4.9, xserver-xorg-video-intel must be removed. This can't be done without modifying xserver-xorg-video-all to remove xserver-xorg-video-intel dependency. Modified version is attached. Proceed by :

dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-all_7.7+7-modified_amd64.deb
echo 'xserver-xorg-video-all hold' | dpkg --set-selections
aptitude purge xserver-xorg-video-intel
  • firmware-misc-nonfree installation solves dmesg message kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: Direct firmware load for i915/skl_dmc_ver1_26.bin failed with error -2

  • AMD Topaz XT [Radeon R7 M260/M265 / M340/M360 / M440/M445] must be enabled in BIOS by :
    • Advanced -> Built in devices -> Graphics : Hybrid Graphics
