    They’re in the app directory now.


[...] Além disso: os cases do OpenPandora chegaram, então é hora do trabalho. A Dell lança mais um netbook, o Latitude 2110, e mais uma vez Ubuntu é opção de SO. Atualizações, com mais aplicações, no Jolicloud. [...]

      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.

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.

i have jolicloud installed in three laptops already, all non-supported actually: a Sony, an IBM Thinkpad G40, and an MSI. Only the g40 has wifi problems mostly because there are no wifi drivers for the pci card it carries. It would be terrific if this would be addressed with a specific driver that works for the card (Broadcom Edup)

Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your content seem to be running off the screen in Firefox. I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know. The design look great though! Hope you get the problem fixed soon. Cheers
