I don’t see any of these new apps. Are they still being uploaded?

    Zak Kaufman | May 13, 2010 at 3:56 am

    They’re in the app directory now.

is there any archive software which unrar rar files?

    Cédric Duclos | June 13, 2010 at 6:17 pm

    No, for the time being.
    But thank you for the suggestion, we’ll investigate!

      Cédric Duclos | June 15, 2010 at 4:10 pm

      Actually, it’s already possible to unrar files in Nautilus (our file manager).

      Right-click on the rar file and choose ‘Extract Here’ ;)

Wow, having used Jolicloud on my Advent 4213 for the past year, I decided to have a leap and install it on my desktop, a Dell Optiplex 755.
Unbelievable, everything eworked out out of the box, only the VGA driver needed activation, and I could access my office network, domain, and shares.

Dear Developers from jolicloud,
Hello.
I’m a user from China.I love your system very much, but I can’t use it because It isn’t possible to type Chinese on Jolicloud.
I try to install scim and fcitx but failed, I also installed ibus on Jolicloud 1.0 but I can’t let it work.So I wonder how can I type Chinese in your system.

Thanks.

Hi all.
Jolicloud is nice but I steel looking for a userfriend operation system.
I like to costumize what is on the screen. I love pictures in the background. if I have to spent hours to find the way to do what I want, I think is not really good.

And what about the wine?XD
I hate fucking microsoft windows and i have no money to buy apple OS or even mac. There is only 1 program (at the moment) the iTunes what is not working. what can i do now? how can i use itunes on any linux based os without any problem.
Is it wrong if I like to use only 1 OS. on my pc which is fast and costumizable and compatible with everything and safe and virusfree and FREE..

;(
please help me..

I would like to see Listen media player in your apps. I think it would compliment the simple, straightforward approach you are working toward in Jolicloud! I am using it (Jolicloud) on my Toshiba Satellite laptop and love it so-far!!! Thanks

It’s a good operating system, but there is a problem: I can’t mount any USB drive! And I really like Jolicloud, so I hope there is a solution for this.
Thank you.
