    • Left-click on the gnome-panel's sound button and select "Sound Preferences...". On the "Input" tab uncheck "Mute" and increase the "Input Volume" to 100%.

Didn't work

Untested

  • Special Keys
    • Change Display Settings (F6)
  • Bluetooth - Turns on at startup but functionality was not tested.

Disabling Bluetooth

By default Bluetooth Radio is enabled at startup which drains battery life. If you never use Bluetooth and want it disabled append...

service bluetooth stop

...to /etc/init.d/rc.local
