At this point, we have invited a few thousand users to upgrade to Jolicloud 1.0. Don’t worry if you haven’t received the upgrade yet - by the end of the month, you will.
If you can’t wait to try out Jolicloud 1.0, you can click on this upgrade link where we provide a bunch of extra upgrades everyday, first-come-first-serve. They’re going fast, so make sure you get there early!
Below, we’ve got some notes and tips for you. We’ve worked hard to get Jolicloud 1.0 out, so we look forward to your feedback, either through the feedback form, or by emailing feedback at jolicloud dot com.
The Upgrade Process
Our upgrades have been designed and tested with the original Jolicloud product. If you have tweaked or hacked your Jolicloud in any way, we suggest that you upgrade with a clean install.
If your upgrade still isn’t working, or if our Upgrade Guide is unclear, please let us know. Don’t hesitate to Include screenshots, photos, or anything else that can help the support team solve your problem.
The HTML5 Launcher
Apps in the HTML5 Launcher will always be synchronized between any Jolicloud device that you use. However, any app that you’ve manually installed - that is, not through Jolicloud’s App Center - won’t be visible in the Launcher and won’t be synchronized between your other devices. To access them, you can press the menu key or click on Settings.
We’ll be continuously improving the Launcher, but we would love to hear your feedback first.
Old and Small Capacity Machines
Most computers and non-netbook laptops will work with Jolicloud. That said, we cannot support every hardware architecture in the world. If you have a Intel Z5×0 processor with a GMA 500 (Poulsbo) video chipset, Jolicloud will be slightly less fluid. Netbooks using N-series Atom chips (N270, N280, N450, N470, etc) will have the best performance. If you are a Linux kernel and drivers expert and you want to help us improve compatibility on older machines, please feel free to contact us.
Keyboard Shortcuts
Jolicloud 1.0 features new keyboard shortcuts to make your life easier.
- Windows Key - Launcher
- Alt-Tab - switches between apps
- Alt-F1 - Terminal
- Alt-F2 - Application Text Launcher
- Alt-F4 - closes the current app

The Windows and Menu Keys

If you have any more questions or comments, please feel free to let us know. Happy Joliclouding!

Upgrade link dead in under 10mins! Why the staggered roll out unless its not actually a final RC?
Jolicloud has a big fan group were all delighted with your work but no one in this fast moving environment likes to be teased or kept waiting…
A more fair title would have been 1.0 released at the end of this month. Then I wouldn’t have got as excited as a 6yr old come Christmas Day :P
