Bluetooth

Configure Bluetooth by following instructions found in the Bluetooth article.

Laptop sound on TV with HDMI cable

Pavucontrol

Emerge the media-sound/pavucontrol utility if laptop has a sound output problem with HDMI cable, it helps to configure sound through HDMI cable.

Kernel configuration

Example of kernel configuration

To build own kernel configuration it is helpful to get output with console: lspci -nn (lsusb) and lspci -k. You can use any bootable Linux LiveCD for that. There is [vendor id:device id] (for example, see lspci -nn above, 00:16.0 Communication controller [0780]: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset HECI Controller [8086:3b64]) and kernel driver (for example, see lspci -kk above, Kernel driver in use: mei_me ) information. It is easy to find which kernel modules need to be set with [vendor id:device id] and kernel driver. Use search in Internet or kernel documentation.

Troubleshooting

Graphics card. Problem with 100% brightness after reboot

How to install graphics driver described (see, Gen5) in the Intel article.

Laptop does not remember brightness, after rebooting it sets brightness to 100%

Workaround

Install xbacklight (for xf86-video-intel only):

root #emerge --ask x11-apps/xbacklight

or acpilight (Modern replacement which uses kernel interfaces)

root #emerge --ask sys-power/acpilight

Create udev rule to save brightness

FILE /etc/udev/rules.d/91-backlight.rulesudev event to save brightness
# Storing brightness
ACTION=="change", SUBSYSTEM=="backlight", RUN+="/bin/sh /etc/backlight.sh"

Create scripts to save and restore actual brightness:

FILE /etc/backlight.shScript to save brightness
#!/bin/sh
#It saves actual backlight percentage to /etc/backlight
brightness=`cat /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/actual_brightness`
brightness_max=`cat /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/max_brightness`
brightness_out=$(((100000/brightness_max*brightness+500)/1000))
echo $brightness_out > /etc/backlight

This script need to be added to startup, for example /bin/sh /home/user/Scripts/brightness.sh, run it as user:

FILE /home/user/Scripts/brightness.shScript to restore brightness on startup
#!/bin/sh
brightness=`cat /etc/backlight`
xbacklight -set $brightness

Apply udev 91-backlight.rules with:

root #udevadm control -R

Read-only SD-Card

It found that sometimes SD-card with non-locked switch recognized as read-only after it inserted [1]

Workaround

Install [Hdparm]]. Use console commands to remove read-only attribute before mounting sd-card partition:

root #emerge --ask hdparm
root #hdparm -r 0 /dev/mmcblk0
root #hdparm -r 0 /dev/mmcblk0p1

For example, the following script remounts a SD-card as read-write (rw). You need to correct mount_options and xuser (user name) to adapt the script for your needs. It needs to run script after sd-card mounted. udisks-glue can be used to start this script automatically.

FILE sdcard-mount-fixChanging sdcard mount from RO to RW
#!/bin/sh
export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
sdcard=`mount | grep mmcblk0p1`
if ! grep -q mmcblk0p1 <<< "$sdcard" ;then
	exit 0
fi
if grep -q rw <<< "$sdcard" ;then
	exit 0
fi
logger -i "$sdcard"
logger -i "Fixing that sdcard mounted as read-only"	
cd /dev/disk/by-uuid/
for entry in *
do
  linktext=`readlink $entry` 
  if  /bin/grep -q mmcblk0p1 <<< "$linktext" ;then
		hdparm -r 0 /dev/mmcblk0 2&>1 >/dev/null
		hdparm -r 0 /dev/mmcblk0p1 2&>1 >/dev/null
		xuser="tester"
		mount_options="nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=100,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec,flush,uhelper=udisks2"
		mount -o remount,rw,$mount_options /dev/mmcblk0p1 /run/media/$xuser/$entry
		mountresult=`mount | grep mmcblk0p1`
		logger -i "sdcard mounted as $mountresult"
  fi 
done

VAIO key (Vendor key) does not work

VAIO key has keycode 360. X does not support keycodes are greater than 255.

Workaround 1

It needs to remap VAIO key to make it works with XFCE (probably Gnome, KDE) to bind it in order to start script or application with VAIO key.

Create /etc/udev/hwdb.d/61-keyboard-local.hwdb:

FILE /etc/udev/hwdb.d/61-keyboard-local.hwdbEvent creation for VAIO key
# sony-laptop driver
keyboard:name:Sony Vaio Keys:dmi:bvn*:bvr*:bd*:svnSony*:pn*
 KEYBOARD_KEY_3b=prog4                                  # VAIO

Apply it with:

root #udevadm hwdb --update
root #udevadm control --reload

Then reboot the PC.

Workaround 2

Other method is to edit include/uapi/linux/input-event-codes.h kernel file. It needs to change KEY_VENDOR keycode from 360 (0x168) to keycode with value less than 255.

Example, swiping KEY_CHAT and KEY_VENDOR:

Create /usr/src/linux/input-event-codes.h.patch:

FILE /usr/src/linux/input-event-codes.h.patchKEY_VENDOR patch
