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
For the root prompt, hostname and Fn keys, there is sudo instead of root password (so if you want a root password you can use sudo to run passwd) but I should probably add a prompt to set the hostname (currently it inherits the hostname used by the system we install from) and make those keys work.
I've not had the same level of problems with suspend you are seeing and I certainly usually get an automatic wake up. I have occasionally had the long delay waking it up and I think that happens if I open the lid within seconds of closing it. The biggest problem with suspend is that is using suspend to idle so the power draw is a little on the high side (there is a useful level of power saving... but not enough to allow the PBP to be suspended overnight without eating battery).
