# Notes on using Debian GNU/Linux on a Dell Venue 8 Pro 5855
|
||
|
|
||
|
The following notes assume GNOME is used.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This is known to work with Debian Testing at the time of writing, other versions are unknown.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## What Works
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Display
|
||
|
- Touch
|
||
|
- USB
|
||
|
- Battery
|
||
|
- Audio*
|
||
|
- Bluetooth
|
||
|
- LTE
|
||
|
|
||
|
Untested: NFC
|
||
|
|
||
|
Unsolved: Camera
|
||
|
|
||
|
\*requires installing the firmware
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Fixes
|
||
|
|
||
|
To get a button to close windows:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout 'minimize,maximize,close,appmenu'
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Without this, one might get stuck because windows cannot be closed. (Why is there no button for closing windows by default?)
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Required Packages
|
||
|
|
||
|
To get sound working, install the required firmware: `firmware-intel-sound`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Don't forget to reboot after installing it.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Other things that might be useful
|
||
|
|
||
|
Create `.config/environment.d/envvars.conf` and as content use `MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1`
