2020-12-27: Switch from nvidia to nouveau driver

apt purge *nvidia*
mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
systemctl reboot

Notes:
  • Make sure nouveau is not blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.d/
  • Hardware acceleration in chromium can be enabled via chrome://flags

    • 2020-05-03: PulseAudio does not detect all devices

    With the MCP78S chipset, ALSA correctly detects all 3 devices (shown by aplay -l) but PulseAudio only detects the HDMI output (shown by pactl list sinks). Consequently, the other devices are not available in Xfce nor in KDE/Phonon. This is not caused by the devices being in use by other processes.

    Workaround: Remove PulseAudio and use ALSA directly:
    apt purge pulseaudio pulseaudio-utils libpulsedsp

    2020-04-18: Install Widevine as Chromium component on Debian

    wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

    2019-12-07: Debian: hdparm -S 120 does not work

    /lib/udev/rules.d/85-hdparm.rules calls the script /lib/udev/hdparm, which for some reason inserts -B254 to the options defined in /etc/hdparm.conf.
    Workaround: Override de udev rule by creating /etc/udev/rules.d/85-hdparm.rules with content:
    ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="block", KERNEL=="sda", RUN+="/sbin/hdparm -S 120 /dev/sda"
