Re: Debian on Dell 13-5378 (Inspiron 13 5000 i5) - wifi howt
Got his PM, the publicly interesting part I am answering here:
In the end, I followed wizard10000's suggestion (actually mentioned by Head_on_a_Stick for the 1st time) to try out debian stretch (testing).
I am not 100% convinced it will become my system now, and had little time recently to test it further, but it seems to be running well so far.
This is really helpful:
It stops when trying to install packages with known bugs, on the CLI apt-get as well as in synaptic, very comfortable.
Debian Testing comes with kernel4.8 so for me no need to compile my own kernel.
Other than that, the above thread contains many interesting aspects, but I think this is the summary - or not?
Use the USB port on the RIGHT side of the keyboard, that is USB2, see http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?p=633775#p633775Hello there,
I came across your thread because I just purchased Inspiron 13. ...
However, I must say, reading your posts, I am little lost when you talk about compiling latest kernel, trying various options to get debian working.
Can you please put some step by step information to get debian install to full working desktop for this particular laptop?

P.S.: When you find out, how to switch on the right mouse button below the touchpad, please tell me
Re: Debian on Dell 13-5378 (Inspiron 13 5000 i5) - wifi howt
Update:
I had to disable "secure boot" and Enable "Legacy boot" from the bios settings (pressing F2 on Dell machine) in order to boot from usb. (hope that helps someone).
I checked the "uname -a" the linux distro I had on USB has kernel 4.6.0 something.
even right button below touchpad works out of the box. wireless card, Touch screen works. That is all I have tested so far.
Thanks.

I actually succeeded without "Legacy BIOS"

Okay, chromium's broke but I want the rest of the upgrades. No easy way to do that with apt, so I fire up synaptic, tell it to mark all upgrades then under Custom Filters, select "Marked Changes", go over to the right pane, deselect chromium for installation and run the upgrade.

serious bugs of gcc-6 (6.2.1-5 → 6.3.0-5) <Outstanding>
b1 - #814978 - gcc-6(+gcc-5): gnat paths are wrong due to ada-gcc-name.diff
Summary:
gcc-6(1 bug)
Are you sure you want to install/upgrade the above packages? [Y/n/?/...]
So I tried synaptic.
I cannot get your procedure working. I have tried this:
- synaptic
- mark all upgrades
- Marked Changes
- rightClick on 'gcc-6' ... Unmark
- Mark additional required changes? (packagekit, packagekit-tools) ... Mark
- Apply
(Actually, synaptic could be improved: If 'apt-listbugs' is installed (or if it gets stuck, waiting for a user response), then it should automatically open the details tab - to show all such messages. Otherwise - how to know?)
I can just not unselect 'gcc-6' in synaptic. What to do?
EDIT:
Ah, now that was easy. Just pressing 'p' in 'apt upgrade' ... solved it all. Forget synaptic.
At some moment I should probably 'unpin' - right?
Re: Debian on Dell 13-5378 (Inspiron 13 5000 i5) - wifi howt
This I still not have solved.
Anyone with ideas? How to enable the right mouse button?

4K screen on Debian Dell 13-5378 (Inspiron 13 5000 i5)
Got a 4K screen working on Windows, on a Dell 13-5378 (Inspiron 13 5000 i5).
3840 pixels × 2160 (via HDMI, only 30Hz because 60Hz would need DisplayPort).
Now same hardware, with Debian stretch testing
... I only get a max resolution of 2048 x 1152
My Debian & machine is this:
There is more info about this same machine in this thread.
What to do now? I had the same problem = max resolution of 2048 x 1152 with an older Laptop - that Intel 3000 card just cannot render more pixels. However, this new one has an Intel 620, and as mentioned, I got the full 4K working on Windows. Beautiful. Not gonna live on Windows much longer though - so please help me on Debian now. Thanks.
Thanks a lot!
