Laptop Base configuration

[gusva]

Hi developers i use Debian in Laptop a long time ago. Now i use in Dell Inspiron 7472.

I want the instalation in out of the box, but not yet. Nividia need some configuration with blumblebee and hibernation not work, i not see a EFI boot in standart instalation.

I need search laptop packages in apt, you can do a base instalation with this features to laptops?

thanks

There are no developers here. This is a user forum.

The practice and philosophy of Debian is to produce a totally free distribution. Nvidia is proprietary software --- it is not free. It is available to people who add the non-free Repository.

Have you tried the unofficial disk that contains some firmware? https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unof ... -firmware/

What is the hardware on the laptop?

Can you boot Debian at all with it, and install inxi, and give us a harware report with "inxi -Fxz"? If you can't boot, try booting a Live session of MX LInux, which includes inxi already, update the hardware ID database with

Code: Select all

sudo update-pcids && sudo update-usbids

(requires you be connected to the Net, just skip the update if you don't have a connection--the sudo password on Live is "demo")
and give the result of the inxi command.

i not see a EFI boot in standart instalation.

Debian stretch should support UEFI installation but Secure Boot needs to be disabled.

Did you boot the installer in UEFI mode?

EDIT: to install the laptop packages use

Code: Select all

# apt install task-laptop
