This is excellent news Jolicloud! The HTML5 launcher looks great and I think I can speak for everyone in saying this is what we have been waiting for! No more Netbook Remix for us!

YeY!
please tell me those gma500 problems will be sorted?

for Vaio P (510T)

cool! finally it comes to 1.0!

gma500 works fine in my eeepct91.

finally!! Kudos to the Jolicloud team :-)

Coool! Even works on my old desktop pc very well

My Samsung N150 has some serious sound issues. There comes up that crazy sound like crackling, white noise and distortion without playing any music at all. I hope it will be fixed. And any chance for supporting the Fn-keys?

Jolicloud 1.0 will be suitable with macbooks?

Cool! Congratulations for the job ;)

I’ve been using Jolycloud for 3-4 months now. It’s really fast and fun to use and now it looks like it’s gonna get that extra prettyness it deserves! Great job on such a great distro!

That’s good news. Jolicloud has been evolving the right way and proven to be really stable on my machine. Plus the 3G connection just works seamlessly. All in all, a great OS for netbooks and mobile/nomad workers like me.

Excelente noticia para mi netbook acer d250

we are excited. My samsung N110 works perfect with jolicloud.

First of all…snaps, claps and kudos to everyone at Jolicloud. You guys did a wonderful job with your (our) OS. I’ve been meaning to try Linux for a long time but never found a suitable one for my netbook until I discovered JC…the first ever Linux distro I ever installed. Now, I don’t even try anything else, quite happy with what I have now.

A question though: how long do you guys think it will take to get everyone upgraded? As I have been only using JC for the past three months or so I’m afraid I’m gonna be somewhere at the bottom of the “list”.

Congratulations to everyone at Jolicloud. Time to pop that champagne you’ve been keeping (I’m sure you have one. :P ).

what happened to transmissionbt client? I had it installed then after an update it was gone.

Do multitouch touchscreens will be supported ? That would be great for the T91MT.

It’s so nice that I want to use it in my desktop too! Hope the offline mode works as well…

Exactly on my birthday week! Thank You!

I love Jolicloud. Its a lightweight good and stable distro. And its great to customize with packages from ’synaptic’ too, if you know what youre doing ;-) Who says its just a netbook os? Im jusing it on my Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Xi3650 18.4″ laptop! And ive recently installed Jolicloud on a old Asus 15″ laptop too.. The hardware support is greater than many other distros! :-D Thank you for making this great os!

BIG THANKS, for this nice & cool OS.

People around me says my ubuntu netbook is nice. I’m don’t know what they say when they see this one.

Thanks, tanks, thanks. Congratulations for this great job!!
Work on htc Shift X9500? Touchscreen, wifi, 3G?

superb job finally an OS for netbook which I’m using quite a lot; well done to all the team; also from a tired asus 701 and also my new asus 1005

I can’t wait to try it! I have never gotten much use out of my netbook until i installed jolicloud, not it is running better than ever before.

My only fear is it won’t be as good as what I am used to….nah won’t happen.

Congratulations and thanks to everyone who worked on this; I get the feeling your work will touch alot of people for years to come.

:)

I’m so glad to hear that Jolicloud is releasing 1.0. Ever since they posted about it, I’ve been very anxious. It looks like a really good piece of software. I am also currently using Jolicloud as my default OS but along with Windows. I can’t wait until I get the update!

@riefflat : Archos 9 is not officially supported yet but you’re welcome to try.

@Acibeb : the suspend feature still needs some work on certain device.

Will the Acer 1825PTx have support for touch from the getgo? If not, have you looked into it yet?

Great news ! is the battery autonomy better, on a eeepc 1001 px ? I like this OS very much, but the autonomy was a problem on my netbook…

Amazing! Thxs a lot for this hard work Jolicloud team! And special for the new designers, it’s perfect!

How do I know for sure that I am a founding member, I am balloooza on jolicloud.

I am just wondering because I have used jolicloud for a long time, but I am unable to see the founding member thing

Yes, yes, YES!

want!

I really love jolicloud and I’m extremely looking forward to the new start page. When will not-so-early adopters get the update?

can hardly wait.

Any information on whether or not the footprint of the OS itself will be reduced or remain the same as the current version? I certainly hope my favorite OS doesn’t get bloated with age.

I cannot wait. I’ve only been using Jolicloud for two weeks, and I am truly happy with it.

I bought a Dell Inspiron Mini, and replaced Windows with the Ubuntu Netbook Edition, the day I got it. I’ve been a dedicated Ubuntu user for some years, but Ubuntu didn’t recognize my display properly, so the resolution was low, and it seemed a little sluggish.

What to do? Try something else, of course. I searched around and came across Jolicloud. It looked promising, so I decided to give it a try. And lucky me. Everything - Wifi, the mobile network, sound, and high res display - worked just perfectly, right out of the box. And this wasn’t even version 1.0. I was impressed.

Now, two weeks later, I am still impressed - and truly exited about the coming release. As I said: I cannot wait!

Good work, Jolicloud Team!

THANKS, I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING HER

Another T91MT owner here wondering if you have any intention to support multi touch in the future.

Adams turn??

Just wanted to ask, since you say everything will automatically sync:

Can I turn this off? Or select only certain devices to sync together. I have Jolicloud on multiple devices and each has a different category for how a use it. (work, home, play, travel, etc.) Can I set certain ones to sync with each other, or not at all?

when the new update 1.0 it’s available to all users?

This is the most exciting linux community out there, and the software is not “groundbreaking” but since it is just right for the netbook, and the entire user base is netbook users, and since the interface is just stunning, somthing simple like good html/css and a good idea of what the os should be can go a long way.

And also it is important that the developers have a real connection to the users, and the social nature of netbooks, community, and frequent posts on many social media platforms make the perfect conditions for an amazing software community.

I got a couple Dell Latitude 2110 netbooks with the Gobi 2000 3G card. I never did get it working with Ubuntu 9 or 10. Wireless isn’t working right now, hoping to figure that out, but if we can get the Gobi card working, the 2110 and Jolicloud is the platform I want to use for our remote users. Very much looking forward to getting 1.0 installed!! I’m a longtime Linux user. Jolicloud is the best of everything..thank you!!

I have a Aspire One 751h, it has a GMA500 graphic card. I tried the pre final release recently but cannot play 720p H.264 video smoothly. Will release 1.0 resolve the issue? Thanks.

I just looked through my old email and found the invitation to jolicloud from 09/09/2009

I am curious, would that mean that I was a “founding member”

Awesome news…Jolicloud is ideal OS for netbooks. waiting to see the 1.0 rollout.

Have they added dual finger scrolling or multitouch yet?

A general idea as to when 1.0 will be widely available would be nice. New converts like myself I’m guessing will be way down on the list (and of course no one knows how long the list is !) As it stands I’m checking my email, Jolicloud update constantly. Nothing could be more frustrating then knowledge that we’re about to get something new/great/fun/exciting etc etc and yet have no idea if that arrival is today/tomorrow/next week or if indeed we’ll be waiting till Christmas. Meh the excitement will have lost it’s sweet smell by then I’d guess.

Dear Jolicloud people,

Please give us all a specific release date.

Thanks,
Stefan

By the way, I would like to write a review of version 1.0 on my website, Hansen’s MagNET, as soon as it’s released. :)

Dear Zak,

Rolled out sounds strange in my ears, when we are talking about a piece of software. There is no production time, no painting, no assembly.

Does it mean that we newcomers to Jolicloud might have to wait days, weeks, months, years?

Once again, best of luck with this great project!

All the best,
Stefan

Me and my eeepc 4G joined jolicloud with the pre-final release. When should I get the upgrade?

after playing with it all day, @Jolicloud 1.0 full HTML5 is a SUPER NEAT WORKING OS for netbooks ! Easysimple and no more Beta. Well done!!

Been trying out different netbook releases on my S10-3t, and have been using Jolicloud for a few days now. I really like Jolicloud over the others i have tested. Can anyone confirm the touch screen working in 1.0 for S10-3t. Thanks and good work Jolicloud Team.

This has to be one of the easiest Linux distros I’ve ever used. I’ve been on Linux for 10 years now, the look and feel of Jolicloud blows the competition out of the water. Linux Mint for example, great distro but not keen on the artwork.

Works fine on my desktop computer. I really wish the Jolicloud team every success. You’ve made Linux accessible to the masses, even my Grandmother!!

Will Jolicloud 1.0 support touch on the HP TM2 laptop?

My username on Jolicloud is “myusername” and I’ve been using Jolicloud since August 14, 2009. Am I considered a “Founding Member”?

I really like Jolicloud and have been using it for a few months now. I agree that it makes my netbook far more usable.

I have to say though, I’ve just updated to the 1.0 release and I really don’t much like the new interface. I can see that it might work well on a touch screen enabled device, but for a mouse driven netbook it’s a pain to use. I have about 12 pages of apps and I now can’t easily find anything… yes I know there is a search bar at the top of the screen, but that’s just annoying having to type things to find an app. So far, I much preferred the previous Netbook Remix style of UI, since at least I could categorise my apps so i know where they were.

I’m happy to be convinced that this new UI is a better idea, but so far I’m a bit underwhelmed. I also fail to see the point of having a product in beta all the way up until a final release (I was running the Robby Pre Release Candidate) and then find that it has a drastic UI change at release… to me, that defeats the whole point of having a beta program.

I’ll go back and play in the hope that it grows on me.

I can see how it might be a good UI if you don’t have too many apps… I think I just need to get rid of all the apps I don’t use much. But I can’t even find a way to do that… how DO you remove existing apps? It doesn’t seem intuitive to me.

Chris

Hey there,

I have clicked “updates all” for the upgrade to 1.0. It has install and update. But after it finish update, it doesn’t ask for a restart. So i check again for update and it says i’m up to date and i restart manually.

After I restart, my jolicloud is still not 1.0 and update for 1.0 is gone. Any help on this matter?

Why I can’t update to 1.0 on my Acer 532h? I refreshed 500 times, but i don’t see the update!!!

Hmm. I am a founding member and still have no update. Looks like I will just have to be patient and wait! Hopefully it gets pushed out to everyone soon.

I have 3 OS on my netbook, including Jolicloud of course, will i have to reinstall Jolicloud from scratch, or will the new Version 1.0 need to be installed as a new OS and therefore involve reinstalling all 3 OS’ again?

By meaning of cloud. . . the webapps won’t be stored on my system anymore? Or it’ll be in one machine?

Come on Jolicloud!!! We all will go on vacation without the update to 1.0 :((( Please work faster :d Thank you!

hey joli team..where is my update…i been longing to update my jolicloud 10 days since…please…

Hi I am looking forward to the 1.0 update. I really like jolicloud running on my Lenovo ideapad s10 but my wifi is botched and i have to be wired to a router line to browse the net. I hope the wifi works when i upgrade to 1.0!!
Pretty Please!!??

I must say that i love the design of the interface, this is definitely one thing that will make this sell! :) There is just one big flaw in the design that makes it all fall.. the systemtray in the top right corner.. it looks horrible! The font of the clock, the battery and wifi icon, it looks like a mess and screws up all the design! You really need to fix this. (or add option to change these icons or hide them)
other than that it looks great!

Any chance for a jolicloud invite?

Webcam still not working for eeepc 701 in 1.0
Root seems to have taken control of plug in USB drive and removed user permissions. Probably no biggy but frustrating none the less when pre-release was so smooth to operate out of the box.

Looking forward to the upgrade to ver. 1.0! I recently installed the pre-final and was glad to see that all of the hardware works without having to enter the terminal and apt-get install stuff or sudo sh anything. With Meego I had to do a lot of compiling to get the wireless working and to be able to play different multimedia files. Good work jolicloud team!!!

Now please roll out the upgrade so I can have the most optimized for netbook OS! :-)

Is there any ETA when it will be available to all users? I just heard about Jolicloud today and installed it on my netbook - really impressed with the out of box performance and I’m anxious about the upgrade. I’m unable to create an account at the moment though (server errors using facebook connect and traditional signup)

Congrats on the launch!

So I am a new user to Jolicloud but cannont believe how amazing it is! and I am just on the .9 version. I was curious, did I possibly somehow miss the update? Or is it still being rolled out?

Works fine on my Lenovo R61. But I have problems with my Atheros WLan Card. The connection isn´t stable and get lost all the time. Will it fixed in the 1.0 release?

bye

I have the “update available” icon in the OS for a couple of days now, but every time i try to log in and update i get the error message: “oops, our server is temporarily down…”
Since i don’t see any other complaints of the same nature, i assumed it may be either due to my location (i leave in Israel) or maybe i’m doing something wrong in the log in process (been trying to log in with FB connect).
Realy looking forward to the 1.0 version. If only i could get the update…

why can’t you guys just give the update to everyone at once?

Raymond: There’s no official date yet. Please be patient with it.

Now the only thing left is your mirrors to work. I am getting timeout errors when I am trying to download Jolicloud Express.

So will Amarok work with 1.0…it doesn’t with the pre-release beta. I’d also like to see a clearer distinction between web apps and local apps and a clearer view of what’s installed rather then having to look thru the App Dir…..and can we see a clear privacy policy as it is Jolicloud collects a great deal of data

Hey!!! Just got the update and I love it. What a great interface. Your last blog post mentioned support for Fujitsu Serial Touchscreens. My update doesn’t support it yet, but will it still be in the near future?

i just install jolicloud prefinal today.
can i upgrade to version 1.0 with
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade?

This is the best netbook OS I have ever tried, very well done developer guys n gals, a credit to you all, keep up the good work, seriously brilliant concept.

I honestly do not understand this policy upgrade. Discriminate against some people than others is quite far from the spirit “Linux.” It was not better to create a group “beta tester” and come out with version 1.0 the same day for everyone?

Hi,
Is it possible to download directly Jolicloud 1.0 right now (without having to upgrade) since i am selected for upgrade?

Sry, but that sucks! I am leaving tonight for two weeks and I can’t get the upgrade! Now, I am using only this OS :( Thank you Jolicloud :(

hello :)
i updated jolicloud (i think to 1.0) the update size was 76mb
and after a restart i didnt see the new splash screen and my desktop was gone
i was needed to reanble the launcher to the startup manager and it is the old one
also how can i install wifi drivers ?? because i have sony vaio vgn-fs115m and i dont have any wifi :(
if its isn’t the place to post it please send me a link ,thank you !

My problem :
- wireless with wl or b43
- ethernet with sky2

About the cloud, do you plan to have a virtual HDD available(as in icloud)? I think this is what is missing…apart from that it’s a great OS and I think it will make things difficult for Google and its OS.
Thanks very much to all of you the jolicloud team and keep the good work.

Guys guys guys … what happened to the NOTEBOOK mode? I have updated my jolicloud to 1.0, but to be honest i dont like the interface … where are my installed applications like Picasa or Teamviewer?? I cant even find them … I also like the desktop interface of 0.9 where i have a full screen photo ….

no puedo actualizar a Jolicloud 1.0 parece q todo marcha bien cuando actualizo pero no pasa nada, sigo con la misma interfaz, el mensaje me dice que si esta actualizado pero no aparece el splash screen de la nueva version y la interfaz sigue siendo la anterior.

Can’t wait to get the update, I’ve been using Jolicloud for about a year or so now and I love it!

Can I get a upgrade please?

i read everywhere about the upgrade… but it seems that only a selected group can upgrade…
why can’t you just release it like everyone else…
it’ annoying to check the upgrade page more than 20times a day and only see the message that no upgrades are available.
i think i’m going to uninstall it and install an OS that’s available and finished…

i’m not selected to upgrade to 1.0
why??????????????????

I hop a new version will allo MS windows like chinese input method, and more support on chinese language
Great job done guy

Is there any way to add some of the “legacy apps” to the main application screen? I end up using terminal a lot, as well as gedit for editing text files. I know i can drill down to find them, but i’d definitely prefer to have them on my home screen. (The same is true for a few apps that I run over WINE….in JC.09 I was able to directly link them to my desktop).

Otherwise, it seems that the “seamless-ness” of desk apps and webapps has kind of gone away.

I have been using JC since early beta and am very happy and very few issues. Have used on desktop and MSI Wind NB. I am in Philippines and am using Smart GPRS USB dongle for my connection. I got lucky and discomered that it will work with the T-Mobile mobile brodband selection. The issue I have not solved yet is how to get network stats as the Smart Bro software will not work with JC, Windows only. As I wite this my dongle is on top of a twenty foot bamboo with a USB extender cable which I am using to aquire enough signal. I got up at 03:00 so I could get enough bandwidth to download 1.0 update but have little indication of how long I will take and what si happening. Internet here seems to be rather limited and generally in day time very slow.

I’m so glad to have been with Jolicloud since Alpha!

Upgraded my Eee 900–upgrade got stuck near the end, could not do a clean shutdown, had to power cycle.

Rebooted into 1.0, but I do not like the results–many of my apps are gone, power management does not work, and Chromium is not saving settings. Is there a way I can re-install to see if this is the result of an incomplete install rather than Jolicloud evolving in a direction I don’t like?

First off, just upgraded today and love it. Awesome job, everything works great (acer aspire one d250).

Just have 2 questions: is there a way (or going to be a way) to customize the program listing, and how can I find programs I’ve installed with apt? I want to be able to organize my apps (work, internet, education, etc., kinda like the old ui), and add my locally-installed programs in with the apps.

Thanks. :)

Yesterday I upgraded to Jolicloud 1.0. I had been looking forward to this like a seven year old boy.

I have written a little article with my first impressions on my blog, hoping that other Jolicloud fans - and the Jolicloud team - will read it.

You can find my thoughts on Jolicloud 1.0 here:

All the best,
Stefan

After the upgrade, how can i use me netbook offline? I must be on-line but i don’t want!!!!!
Please help me…before JC os was perfect or me!

I have Toshiba L500-IRE & it doesn’t work

Amazing Job, Guys!! I’ve been using Ubuntu for a long time, but, definitively, your work in the boot splash and GUI is elegant and beautyful, and the system is so easy to use that I felt in love instantly!! I’m using it right now!! Keep the good work!!

Hi i like jolicloud it is a very nice os as they say it but can it replace windows for eg totally and dose it provide the cpacity to make use of the high end hardware and runs the heavy software like the adobe suite and 3d max maya and can it provide the ability for programmers to built software on it or is it just good for social netwoking

any chance the nokia n810 will run this? maemo is awful.

Some one help me my netbook (msi x320) freeze when sleep mode not respond everything.

Can I run this on a Mac whit Windows XP and MacOSX10.6.4

have been waiting for something like this , am gonna download it right away

Running HP Pavilion dv7, no sound, wondering if there is a fix available. Everything else runs beautifully.

Is there any chance that I could use this on my old tablet PC? It has the typical wacom-style touch screen which is no longer fashionable and very few linux distros actually support this mode.
Please say YES as it would be so useful to revive some of the millions of older tablet PC’s that are out there !
Thanks for all the great work!

Mike.

Excelente la tengo a la nube laburando en una mini 110 1020 la de hp y vuela

Jolicloud is working fine on my Fujitsu Siemens Pi 1505 laptop (not a netbook)

Everything is working!
There is not a single thing not working!

Please add Fujitsu Siemens Pi 1505 to the supported list.

hi That is a very interesting edu blog. I think edu stands for quality posts (=

AMAZING!

hey, is anyone else having sound issues on a Hp mini 1035nr? I know it works because i hear it on the start up, then I turn it on and up once I hit the home screen and nothing. Oh and it works perfectly every time I reinstall the OS which has been five times. :p

Jolicloud 1.0 est bien installé tout seul sur mon EEEPC 701SD, il fonctionne bien , merci. Mais à ce stade, je ne peux telecharger les up-grades et les mises à jour, faute de place sur le disque dur sdcarte de 4GO installé et on me demande de libérer de la place pour telecharger. Comme seul Jolicloud occupe tout le disque je ne sais quels fichiers de Jolicloud je pourrais effacer ou bien copier-coller sur l’autre carte SD de 8GO existant dans netbook
Merci de me donner une solution.
Salut à vous
