This laptop has an HDMI port switch to external screen works out of the box, just plug an HDMI cable or adapter and the system will find the new screen. If you have dual-boot with Windows 8, you may need to repeat this operation every time after Windows is started. WARNING: remember to replace /dev/sdX with the device Debian is actually installed on!
Inside Debian, make sure grub-efi-amd64 is installed and the efivars module is loaded, then run as root the following commands in a console: # grub-install /dev/sdX Should this be the case for you, right after system start-up press F9 to enter the Boot menu and there select the debian entry to start Debian.
The installation process should end without errors.Īfter having installed successfully Debian, GRUB may not be the default Boot Manager. In my case, the boot menu opened by pressing F9 right after system start up did not show a USB entry, thus I had to start Windows and press Shift while selecting Restart: in this way I managed to select the USB memory as device from which to restart the system. Then you need to start the system from the USB memory. Since the laptop has no internal optical disc readers, prepare a USB memory stick with a Debian hybrid CD or DVD image. In the System Configuration tab, select Boot Options entry and disable Secure Boot. Right after switching-on the computer, press F10 to enter the setup utility.
This laptop comes with Windows 8 pre-installed, so you have to disable Secure Boot before being able to install Debian.

The purpose is not to duplicate the Debian Official Documentation, but to document how to install 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. DebianOn is an effort to document how to install, configure and use Debian on some specific hardware.
