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.

{i} = Configuration Required; X-( = Only works with a non-free driver and or firmware

Important Note

{X} The system has two SO-DIMM slots, and and SSD slot. There are motherboard mounted headers and included cabling for a 2.5" SATA drive. However, the 2.5" drive just sits loose in the bottom of the housing without mechanical support, which seems quite un-robust (motion likely to damage exposed motherboard}. Would not recommend for any application that may see the PC moved, unless using SSD. Maybe possible to 3D print frame for drive bay.

{X} Cannot get multiple monitors to display - only the same view is cloned on each screen, stretched to fit.

Configuration

Display

Unable to get two monitors to work independantly, only a single display is detected via lspci/xrandr. Unsure if this is driver or hardware related.

Audio

Audio play back works via barrel-jack plugs on front. HDMI not tested, but kernel log show audio is detected.

Power Management

Suspend/Hibernate under XFCE causes system lockup, requiring a power-cycle to reset. The reason for this is unclear, however upgrading to a backports kernel (5.7.0.0) seems to fix the problem.

WiFi

The onboard wifi was detected, however the following error occurs during boot. The intel wifi (firmware-iwlwifi/stable,stable,now 20190114-2 all [installed]) was installed, which results in the below output. This was fixed by copying in new firmware from the linux kernel's firmware git repository, into the firmware folder
