An unofficial Debian Installer for Pinebook Pro
#39

@wasgurd: There are a couple of rough edges (nobody has yet reported working bluetooth and I see frequent memory leaks with panfrost+gnome-shell) but with a couple of tweaks it is working very well for me as the main OS for my PBP. Personally I am happier with the rough edges with this installer over the rough edges in the default @Mrfixit2001  image (Debian Stretch) but that's not so say the mrfixit didn't do a great job... so depending on your taste you might prefer the default image and that's perfectly fine! I'd suggest ordering a couple of A1 (or better) SD cards and experimenting with the various bits of software that are available. 

Dear @danielt,

I've been using Debian over 10 years and want to make PBP as my daily driver. The default system, unfortunately, hasn't LUKS and based on Deb 9.0 while I prefer to use the testing. You have done really good job to adopt mainstream Debian to PBP, thank you!



My PBP has arrived yesterday and here's my short report:

- I didn't see how to set up root pass and host name during the installation.

- FN keys for regulate display's brightness doesn't work until I've added to /etc/udev/hwdb.d/10-usb-kbd.hwdb

evdev:input:b0003v258Ap001E*
KEYBOARD_KEY_700a5=brightnessdown
KEYBOARD_KEY_700a6=brightnessup
KEYBOARD_KEY_70066=sleep

I believe it could be added to the installer to reduce number of post-install tweaks.

- If I plug in 3,5 audio jack, the laptop's speakers doesn't disable.

- Suspend works weird. When I close the laptop's lid, it is going to suspend in 50 % cases. Then, when I open the lid, there was no automatically wake up.
I can't find a pattern to describe how it works. I used to push some keys and then, with 30 sec -1 min delay the laptop is going to woke up.

- Annoying quiet noise from the speakers
