More Logitech support
I have just noticed logitech "unifying" mouse/keyboard battery support was added to upower october 30th as per http://cgit.freedesktop.org/upower/c...98954decd2c5a5
It might be a good addition to the keyboard/mouse section of the article ;-)
BTW, great article!

Originally posted by GreatEmerald View PostYea, that's what I meant. Should have been more clear, sorry. By "selected" and "not selected" I meant the "On" and "Off" parameters, not "Auto".
1. The boot menu showed an option to boot UEFI from the CD-ROM.
2. I selected UEFI.
3. I clicked through installation of Debian with default settings, noticing that Debian made UEFI boot partition.
4. I rebooted the computer and everything worked (except sounds, but that's another issue).
5. I upgraded the kernel to fix sound issue and to see can Debian upgrade the kernel without messing UEFI.
6. I Rebooted and the sounds worked with the new libre kernel.
Conclusion: For a normal user UEFI can be at the moment with the Gigabyte mobo/BIOS very trivial and simple.

Yeah, it is a bad company. But the mobo I bought works. And yeah, that's a bad excuse, so I don't even use it as one. But at least they didn't supply me with tons of CDs containing shit software. Only Norton virus thing.

I need to make a new rig with a mini-ITX MB and i'm undecided between the ASUS P8-H61 I http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Int...vuE&templete=2 and the GIGABYTE GA-H61N-USB3 http://www.gigabyte.com/products/pro...id=3963&dl=#sp
I'm, especially concerned with ASUS as for Audio goes....is VIA *audio* well supported out of the box by the kernels ?!?
Any bad experiences with the GIGABYTE MB that i indicate ?!?
TIA,
AJSBOriginally posted by GreatEmerald View PostYea, I never had any particular issues with Gigabyte motherboards (BIOS-based) in the past. But then if you do find an issue, they probably won't help.

If I remember correctly, I have it set "auto" and it runs non EFI boot.

+1 for GPT. It was a blast to use.

That said, you probably want GPT to be enabled. See this for more information.

There it is.
The sounds did not work out of box on Debian Wheezy. The sounds however do work in Parabola GNU/Linux (Libre Archlinux) and Trisquel Toutatis (Libre Ubuntu 12.04).
Edit: And before anyone begins to smash that cheapo mobo I say it does have everything I need because I don't do over clocking, and saw no reason to pay premium of features and bling I don't need.Last edited by moilami; 26 November 2012, 01:18 PM.
