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

Long time Jolicloud user, ecstatic about the upgrade, but wondering why the link won’t work. I don’t want to keep slamming the refresh button like a six year old, but I sure want to get a taste of 1.0!

thankyou!
finally i got it! :_D

awsome… like the new interface. ive been wating for this for almost a week… loving my netbook again.

just got 1.0, everything works lights, camera, action…Thanks Guys!

I have used a great many PC OS’s in my time from DOS 5 to W7, From Low number Slackware in the mid 90′s to modern kde and Gnome Distros.

I’m sure you have put a lot of work into your GUI but I’m hard pushed to find it! I just can’t get anything done, nothing is intuitive. There are no transferable skills from other GUI’s. No pointers or help, nothing. I like to think I’m good at this type of stuff and I can’t make head not tail of it… No help! not even info on hover, no right click menus to give pointers on what a thing is or does, or is capable of. I’m at a loss as to what I’m expected to do or how to do it…

Thanks a lot for this link and an end to all the waiting and near/painful anticipation.

I’m no terminal-jockey but I have tried my share of linuxes on my netbook (and any other machine) but none of them has been such a breeze and working right out of the box. Don’t let anyone tell you that you’re just another pretty app store!

the keyboard shortcut under preferences does not work. I would like to customize the shortcuts but it does not work

Quick question, how do I “effortlessly delete” apps? Can’t find any way to delete them.

Hi all,
Is there a way to “close” the new interface ? Not that I don’t like it, but I’d appreciate to have a nice wallpaper instead.

How can one flip from the first Dashboard page to the next and back again?
(I don’t have a touch sensitive display)

Ouff, my invitation have just come. (after a so long week)
BIG THANK.

Thanks for the upgrade! Jolicloud is number 1

[...] team ha pubblicato una lista di tips-and-tricks per far conoscere a chi sta già lavorando con la nuova versione le principali novità introdotte [...]

Congratulations! Jolicloud 1.0 is amazing and works fine on my EeePC 900.

Just one little question: where is now the check updates button? I don’t find it…

Thanks!

Got a 1.0 invite via the blog and am really impressed – I haven’t used a modern Linux distribution for ages. I have Jolicloud installed on a net-top but considering installing over my Window 7 build.

The iphone inspired interface is pretty cool. Very impressed, congrats all.

I can not download Jolicloud. I have tried from different places with different computers and it has been impossible.

The suspense is killing me already! No invite yet….arrrgghhh!

When will the 1.0 be available to download on the website.

?

Thanks for including me for the upgrade! I love the new interface, i just hope i can change the desktop background.
Its nice and very fast! Jolicloud is perfect for my compaq mini110c.

Thank you and more power to the Team!

Wow, that was easy, and it rocks! Thank you Jolicloud!

download does not work for ISO it gives this URL

http://www.vdoencode.com/90/118/6/Jolicloud-PreFinal.iso

which does nothing in IE, Firefox or Chrome, also does nothing at all in UTorrent apart from give a HTTP 403 error..

im loving the fact your restricting the amount of people who get the new version, what a way to loose people to ubuntu netbook edition (no download limits)

Like the new interface :) Surprised to find that Google Chrome app is actually Chromium.. hoping it will be possible to use the dev version of the former sometime soon..?

A bunch of every updates a day hmmm… early? what timezone?

Thank you so much Jolicloud! The new interface is clean, responsive, and gorgeous to say the least. Please fix the continuing inability of the system to resume operation after suspend/lid closure on the Acer Aspire ZA3 (Poulsbo). If you could repair this singular flaw I would never boot into windows ever again. Aside from that one flaw, the new interface is beautiful and amazing. Thanks again!

Awesome, you guys are the best!

Good work on your OS! I was juggling linux distributions for some time (Moblin, Easy-Peasy, Ubuntu) until i found Moblin which i loved. But this love it self is not so perfect. I found that my Eee PC 901 battery life is less efficient then on Win XP. I’m waiting every day for a mail from You to check out if this relationship will improve after upgrading to 1.0. :)

Hay guys, thank you all for this 1.0

Im a proud Founding Member and because of that Ive had a little issue coming with me: my computer is not that model Jolicloud thinks it is. By the time I got my invitation, LG X110 was not officially supported, so I said “MSI Wind” and walked away. Now, Id love to be able to show the correct name.

Not a big issue, as I said, but Im sure you understand. Can this be done or should I let it go?

Hi – 1.0 is very neat. I have a question. With Chromium, it’s possible to create applications shortcuts. Is there a way to save the apps created directly on the desktop? Wouldn’t this be cool?

Hi, I have a question for Jolicloud team, I’ve been selected to upgrade to 1.0 yesterday but since I’m unable to upgrade. The system knows that I can upgrade in 1.0 version but he doesn’t install it, he is blocked while upgrading is it because the servers are overloaded or something else?

Thanks for your help

I would like to add some web links to the apps launcher.
Is that possible?

Hi guys, four days ago I installed Jolicloud 1.0 and from then I can’t use anymore my power button to shutdown my netbook. I’m using a Lenovo IdeaPad S10e. My settings says that when I press the power button, it should shut down the netbook but nothing happens so the problem is not in the settings. Have you any idea? Despite that, I’m really enjoying it because it’s simple, fast and beacuse it increases my battery life in compare to Windows XP or Windows 7.
I hope you’ll make it even better through the time, bye! :)

jolicloud 1.0 looks like it’s running in a browser. After logon , in lover left corner i can see “waiting for http://www.i_don‘t_remember_what.com”
But it doesn’t matter jolicloud is a great os. It’s super fast even under virtualbox. I haven’t bought a netbook yet, but i heard that windows7 can be sluggish on a netbook , so i needed better os and i found it.

Well I’m off to UNR or whatever it’s called now….I’ve waited around while the ‘hype’ kept me hostage for Jolicloud all the while wondering if any of the ‘love and kisses’ was truely warrented. Let me be clear this is not Open Source in it’s true form. It’s instead an OS flavour created for marketing so it seems. Has anyone ever seem a release of an OS or SW that has been invitation only. Sure for beta’s we see that but not something that supposedly is a proper release. Further the Jolicloud’s teams applicasrtion approval smacks of the same App Store within the Apple domain. Frankly being told what i can and can’t install in a so called Open Source world is not one i will join. Understandably Jolicloud approves apps based on some finacial gain from those sites, and programs. And if they don’t at the current time you can bet that it’s factored into the value of the company for it’s eventual sale or public offering. No thanks it’s off to Ubuntu for me.

thank you, jolicloud 1.0 is the best netbook distro.

Im waiting the upgrade!!!! I want Jolicloud 1.0!!! I love Jolicloud!!! its brillant!!

Hi I love Jolicloud 1.0 apart from my tweetdeck has vanished and the only way I can get to it is the long winded route via desktop, how do I get it back with the rest of my apps, pls help

Great release, love JC 1.0.. It works great on macbook, the last issure with backlight brightness are also gone with 1.0 update, work perfect on my macbook, and chrome is blazing fast on mac.. compiz work fine with 0.9, but need to turn off, or windows redraw all over the place.. But I have a problem is mac don’t have a menu key, I can’t use it to get the old application menu, where I have teamviewer, picasa and a few other non-JC app installed, go to setting–>device–>local apps and use terminal launch app is not that efficient.. can I assign “open old application menu” to another key and how..?? Is there a way I can add my non-JC app to app menu..??

Well i followed the update link, got the message that i am rady for the update, download it, made the update, rstarted but although the update process says i already have jolicloud 1, i still got 0.9…

My jolicloud updates now do not open at all…

What went wrong?What should i do now?

When will the iso be released? With all the extra programs i installed i would rather do a fresh install.

These issues may have already been mentioned, but I can’t remember.

Netbook Model: NB205-N311W

1. OS will no longer lock upon suspend.

2. Even thought it can be misleading. I miss the approximate time until the battery dies is.

3. Last but not least, thanks for Jolicloud. I really enjoy the OS and plan on being a big supporter!

Is there any way to revert back to the Alpha 2c build, because I find the 1.0 upgrade to bring you back to the stone age. There is hardly any customization, there isn’t even an option to change the wallpaper and the fact you have to minimize an app to return to the home page is anything but user-intuitive.

Where is my upgrade email???? :) I know patience is a virtue

Sorry – I can’t hide my enormous disappointment with the interface of 1.0 – in the last launcher we had a bunch of web apps sorted by category and direct access to folders.

Now, everything appears to be lumped into one folder which is a hark back to the halycon days of DOS 1.0 which didn;t have any folder support either. I know you can access the old menu via the menu key, but that almost begs the question why you don’t have that on the desktop. It’s all very well advertising 700+ apps, but what mess would THAT make of the system?

Now I have to remember on what page any of my installed apps. Not helpful. The fact that my many web apps that I installed myself have vanished from the screen doesn’t endear me to it much either. Sorry, but Jolicloud now looks and feels really dumbed down and frankly, I’m not entirely sure I want to carry on using it. :-(

Which is the menu button?

Would really like to try version 1.0, any ETA when the rest of the users will get to try it?

I agree with Mike. The fact we can’t place apps on the launcher, save Chromium apps on the launcher is ridiculous. I defenetly prefer to use Ubuntu.

I upgraded to version 1.0 since 21 july on my venerable Eee 4G. Upgrade process was straightforward and everything works fine.
The minimalist interface reminds me the spirit of good-old Xandros, UNR, and some others netbook-oriented OS I tested before.
Not being a Linux techie, I appreciate not being obliged to open the hood to configure my device to make it work.

Overall it’s a good job. Keep on going like that, you’re on the right track.

Despite what people say, keep it simple. That’s the spirit of a netbook. If you want a highly configurable system, buy a fullsize laptop with more power. But netbook are designed to be use minimum resources and web-oriented apps.

Just installed Jolicloud express Robby two days ago and instantly in love with it :)
One problem though, now my windows 7 can not hibernate. Not a big problem but I still wonder why…

When will there be an update for everybody?

Hi!
I was using jolicloud pre-final in a medion akoya E1217.
When i tried to update to 1.0, my pc crashed and jolicloud stopped working.
I’ve reinstaled and reupdated few times, but my pc always crashed :/
I don’t know why is happening this.

Sorry about my bad english :(

Awesome OS. Now a lot different from UNE, with its own personality.

Congratulations and thanks!

Is there a way to turn my screen resolution up higher than 1024 x 600 thats listed? I’m using a NB205-N311W with Jolicloud 1.0.

Thanks

hi..where i can get it? download doesnt work,bit torrent doesn’t work either

My menu button doesnt work, it just toggles browser and desktop. any ideas!!!!!!

So far so good! 1.0 is very interesting and runs well. Upgraded on both of my netbooks, one is an HP Mini 1030NR, the other is an ASUS 1000HE.
Here’ my question. On the HP Mini I have no symbols in the upper right hand corner to close/minimise/maximise any windows. On the ASUS the symbols appear. I tried different themes but it makes no difference.

I’m leaving in France and I want to know the timezone for the extra upgrades, at what time the day start.
Since 4 days I try every hour but no luck!
Thanks in advance and congratulation with this program.

My asus eee pc 701 runs slow flash videos from internet (even full loaded). CPU goes to 95/100% usage, with chromium or firefox is the same. With old Jolicloud version I didn’t have this problem. Any idea?

Hi guys,
I’ ve been impressed by your work so far, the hardware detection, intuitivity, etc …
However i got a few problems on my netbook, (touchpad being funny, some troubles to get to the home screen, system lag, keyboard shortcuts not working etc …) and i read that a bunch of those will be sorted out in the 1.0.
Would you have a rough idea about when I’ ll be able to upgrade ?
Or can I do it manually ?
Cheers !

In the “folders tab” or whatever you call it, “documents, music, pictures and videos” appear. I have a usb drive and an sd card installed. They don’t appear but videos do, which I don’t have in Nautilus. How can I mirror what’s “underneath” this new GUI.

Is touch going to work on Jolicloud 1.0 with the Asus T91MT?

I’m trying Jolicloud on my desktop. It’s very very slow and not responsive and can’t detect my Samsung LCD 37″ screen. The picture is trimmed from the conrners.
CPU: AMD Phenom II X 3
Graphic Card : ATI HD 4300

Perfect on my acer aspire one, it took a few hours to get used to it but after that… fantastic, couldn’t fream of better features.

Thanks a bunch.

Merci a tous et continuez de vous surpasser…

Hi !
In version 1.0(html 5) it is possible to create a shortcut to my Jolicloud page?

can you play games in jolicloud? like counterstrike?

Hy!
The Jolicloud is the best OS for my netbook! Fantastic! Creative! Intuitiv! :-)
But ..
I can’t upgrade to 1.0. WHY?

Bye!

my wired network isn’t working
i’m using HP mini 5102

pls help

So when are you going to update the website with the 1.0 Version?
it’s totaly crap to “hype” it like that, “you have to be fast, we only let download it for a few people a day…” Bullshit! just add a download link and everyone is happy…

I’m not going to wait much longer for JC 1.0… your fault!

@ Alaa
Jolicloud is optimised for notebooks. It’ s for that reason it doesn’ t provide ATI drivers, doesn’ t detect your screen etc …
You should stick to desktop distributions, which are more suited for your configuration. :)

I’ve been in and out of the update site, however, the same message continues to be displayed “oops! done for the day…” Would be nice to be able to process the update.

Yes, I really want 1.0 upgrade too. The upgrade site always says the same message and I can’t have the 1.0.
Please, if an admin is reading my message, can you send me a link to upgrade !

Would really like to get the upgrade. I have a Crystal HD card in my netbook and I understand that 1.0 has support for it.

Thanks!

AMAZING!!! I see about 3 out of every 5 comments complaining about this, that or the other. If you complainers really believe its bad, not working as YOU believe it should then please feel free to utilize the other free or even paid OS’s out there OR You could even compile your own from freely available open source. I cannot do any better than what these people have done. I have neither the time or resources to undertake such a work. Only reason why I even checked this out id because I was curious to what it was when I seen a link posted on a friends page. Not for me, not yet. Perhaps in a year or so it may be. So, Complain as you like BUT this is still free and 99.9% of you could not do any better than to say “ill be going back to UNR or whatever you ran before this” ungrateful minions. I’m sure the creators have skillfully made a place to post about problems your having so they can collaborate and fix common problems before fixing someones tiny problem on a no name brand machine, although it might be related to another, it might need a completely different fix. Given the amount of people working on this, it may be a while before ALL of your problems are addressed and fixed. With NO cost to you of course BUT given the creators limitations, I wouldn’t doubt it if they started charging for support, I know I would and would rake in a million before the first week ;) just issuing basic fixes for chronic complainers and whiners….”its free yet it wont do what i want, wah wah wah!!!!!

Get educated in building linux OS’s from scratch, take the time to build your own OS, and provide your own tech support. Whut? it crashed? Trace it down and rebuild until it dont. By then your equipment will be outdated and youll be ready for the retirement home. Good Luck!!

Looks wonderful. Well done.

Two tiny issues:
how can I stop that little drum noise when it’s at the logon prompt? I disabled all sounds with no effect.

The upgrade to 1.0 edited my grub setup so now it boots straight into Jolicloud with no time to choose another OS. I can fix it but would prefer not to.
That’s the only things, it’s a big improvement.

Hey my wireless keyboard that I use when i hook my netboot to the tv doesn’t have a menu key.

Any other way to get at the menu. Right click would be nice:)

>>>
Cannot start VPN connection ‘VPN

There was a problem launching the authentication dialog for VPN connection type ‘org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.pptp’. Contact your system administrator.

WOW…..

*sniff* I thought it’d check at precisely midnight but apparently the upgrades where already gone then. Checked at 1 a.m. too :/
I’m really not good at waiting ;)

Jolicloud 1.0 looks awesome! I just updated to it – hehe :D
Has anyone else experienced this though? Or better yet- know how to fix it? Whenever I try to browse through the apps I want to add it keeps flicking back to the application menu of my already installed apps.
What’s up with that? I’m not clicking on anything and suddenly it jumps!

I install most of my apps through apt-get, and have added several custom items to the existing menu (scripts, etc). Will the new launcher recognize all of these? Can apt-get installs and custom scripts be added to the new launcher?

When can we expect the 1.0 .iso? I am waiting for it’s release. If the servers cannot cope with it why don’t you release it via torrent or something?

just curious when the 1.0 update will happen. i reinstalled jolicloud on my netbook about a month ago. would that move me back in line as far as the upgrades go? is the plan still to release 1.0 across the board before July is through?

That being said the pre-robby release is amazing, you guys have really, really, really, done a wonderful job. Kudos!

Hi,

I have been a Jolicloud user for the past few months. This is my first netbook and just wanted to get rid of windows for good… that is when I found out that my Acer Aspire One has a poulsbo module from hell that prevents some open source OS to work properly. After trying several linux distros I stumbled upon Jolicloud, which is a great OS all in all. Intuitive, easy to use, fast and reliable. I think you guys have made an excellent job in developing it.

I have to accept though, that it is annoying and a little cruel not being able to update to 1.0 right away. I, myself have been waiting for it for a couple of weeks already. It is frustrating for many users because of the emotional part of the whole Jolicloud experience, i.e. being special just because you use Jolicloud, finally not being dependent on microsoft/apple, getting the best possible performance out of your computer and having an OS that just works (and beautifully).

I think this was a small misstep from the team and perhaps, as some posters said before, it would have been better to handle it as a RC for some users only and say that the final stable version would be available in whatever time the team considers all the bugs and glitches would be sorted out; however, on the rational side think about this:

Jolicloud is an open source OS and, as such, you are not paying a dime for what you get. There is a considerable amount of work put into it from the members of the team who make it possible and this is why it is a great system, otherwise you would not be here whining and complaining about the update.

So thanks Jolicloud team for working so damn hard and please let us have the update so we can go back to our passionate love affair!! =D

Hi,

After upgrading to 1.0 last week, I was disapointed with the non possibility to place apps on the launcher. I decided to use an other distro, But today, I’m back to Jolicloud. It’s fun, lovely and fast.

The upgrade didn’t work for me on my HP Mini 110. The upgrade stalled after about 10 minutes, and didn’t progress over the next 3 hours. I closed the update window, and rebooted. I have information that I’m on 1.0 when I log on, but I have the old interface, and the update screen is just a blank grey screen. Help. I’ve never had a problem with Jolicloud before. It’s just worked!

I installed Jolicloud on my grandparents’ computer. They had pretty much given up on Windows due to admin issues (patch, Av updates etc etc). Ubuntu did not have full hardware support on their PC (wireless was very flaky). They were pretty much at the mercy of the local IT support companies and have been spending huge sums on repairs. Now with Jolicloud, thats changed – for better! The OS is easy to use and PC is stable. They are very happy.

Thank you work the wonderful work. Jolicloud is the “People’s Linux”!

Same problem as eamonireland above. Update process stalled for about 2 hours “unable to get data”. Any thoughts ?

Great job, guys! Was worth the waiting for! I have eeepc 1101ha(poulsbo) and msi 670(nvidia) -yes not a netbook!- perfectly upgraded synced and running JC 1.0 as of today. I have resolved the issue about placing links or local apps on launcher by placing them on the panel as they are or in a drawer. Thanks a million!

Any ETA on when the 1.0 will be pushed out? I would really like to upgrade to the new version. It looks great!

thnks for the upgrade,
anyway..it would be nice it we can put the legacy app into the main home screen.

and, i also find it difficult to uninstall legacy app, since synaptic can not running. i had to stop the html launcher first before able to run synaptic and remove old apps

You said it would be out by the end of the month. FAIL

i upgraded to 1.0 and after the reboot all I get is “oops, we’re done for today.” >>> Please upgrade my account ! thx

End of the month + no 1.0 invite = hurry up already!

1.0 is more of a dog, it slows down my computer, kind of like windows. Plus interface is hard to understand.

I like 0.9, is there a way to roll back to the good days?

fantastic job you guys (threw me for a while, trying to find comp’ pref’s, until i found the keyboard shortcuts on the firefox start page :)
once more….. a BIG thank you, to all concerned
jeff

Just got the update to 1.0 so some first impressions.
- New launcher is nice, but like others have said, would like to add my own apps and links to this
- Would be good to have a shortcut link to terminal, e.g. on the main bar at the top of the launcher
- I feel like you should be able to flip between launcher screens by clicking and dragging the grey area across (like you do on a ipod/iphone)

Good work on this release overall though! I’m looking forward to 1.1 with a bit more customisability

I’ve spent the last hour playing with the new interface and have to say I’m very disappointed. Hopefully this is just because I haven’t worked out how to use it!
- can’t find a way to add a local app (eg terminal) to the main panel
- can’t find a way to categorize the main panel to make it look more like 0.9
- cant find a way to navigate to system preferences without many key presses
- dont have a menu key on my dell e4200 so no idea what is on the menu revealed from this button
- cant find a way to have my own background
- basically, I can’t see how to make any customisations except by adding or removing programs from the single main screen

I really hope I’ve got the wrong end of the stick since Jolicloud seemed the best netbook interface I had seen to date.

I love the look overall, but there is noticeable interface lag when opening folders and such. This was not an issue in the pre-final. Hopefully this is improved. Overall good work though.

Updating is a joke, too much lag.

Create an .iso torrent we all can download for 1.0. Why should any of us have to deal with the updating bullshit?

Next time consider making things finished within the release before releasing it. No background customization? No way to add an app not on the list to the main panel? These should be added ASAP!

Thanks for the upgrade. Loved the new interface already (albeit too restrictive, I think. Well, it runs atop browser afterall). It is nice that now I can rearrange the app menu as I want, saves me a lot of click than navigating through categories like in the old launcher.
One little question, is there any way to pause the update (or download) process?

And for you people who dont have the menu key on your keyboard, you can always add the “Main Menu” applet on your panel to access the old application menu. And to add old apps which is not shown on the launcher, you can add the “application launcher” applet on your panel. It might not look as beautiful as the one in the launcher, but its still quickly (and easily) accessible, right? :)

Thanks once again. Keep up the good work guys :)

Hey, I prefer the pre-final, is there an easy way to downgrade now?

I upgraded to 1.0 yesterday evening, not without troubles (My Jolicloud app started behaving weird, adding multiple jolicloud-deamon processes), but “advanced user” apt-get way worked.

I had some mixed feeling from the beginning (where the hell are the categories in the launcher etc.), but adding Gnome menu to panel and playing with new interface for an hour or so made it. Now I’m as happy with new version as I was with pre-final, especially since all the tweaks I did before (replacing gnome-power-manager with self-configured laptop-mode-tools, adding some additional keyboard shortcuts to fix the Fn problems etc.) work after upgrade as well.

I believe you still need to work hard on customization (launcher themes would be awesome) and configuration, since the distro should be OOTB positive experience (simple things, as 3s break in Grub instead of making user change it themselves, or adding fast switcher between app screens in launcher).

And still: add more apps! Especially in the sport and lifestyle areas. Especially, for me: add some runners portals (there is only one for now, and I’m actually using another one).

Still, Jolicloud is overwhelming already. It’s simple great. It works, it gives the nice feel, it looks cool. I’m looking so much forward to next upgrades. Just keep listening to the good ideas and stick to your vision, there will be no better netbook/tablet linux distro around. Good luck!

Just made the upgrade, and it is really nice. My only problem is that Transmission will no longer run and ther is no other torrent client in the apps list. Will transmission be available for 1.0 in the near future?

I am very sorry to say this, but while Jolicloud Pre-Final was the most elegant OS I’ve ever put my hands on, the new 1.0 seems like an interface disaster. Pre-Final was in fact working very smoothly, and from 1.0 I expected only that Keyboard Shortcuts will be fixed. Well, they are not fixed, and all I’ve got now is a very clumsy multi-page dashboard with gigantic icons (come on, this is netbook, they should be small and neat!) and with very limited customizability (your average user is not 5 years old, really…). Accessing local apps and local folders is pain as well (compared with Pre-Final).

Jolicloud is free, so I appreciate the developers’ effort and I thank you for it (no irony here), but I really cannot understand what justified this new approach. I am off to UNR. Best of luck. Hope in Jolicloud 2.0 you will take a step “back” to Pre-Final look-and-feel.

Goodbye jolicloud …

the pre-final was fine, I liked to work with that distro.

But 1.0 ….

horrible, can’t find words

Ok one question I used beta for several weeks on a toshiiba netbook. Everything worked great sound unlike UNR, then out of no where it crashed. I reinstalled, crashed again. Finally had enough went back to Ubuntu, can anyone assure me that the final version might actually work? Sound doesn’t work under UNR, of course with only one speaker who cares about sound but still it’s nice to know you have it if you want it.

Thanks

Oh please reply email I am terrible about checking these boards.

I upgraded to Jolicloud 1.0 yesterday.
I love it, it’s very nice. But, it’s buggy sometimes, icons gray out, can’t press menu buttons… Seems like it’s “offline” but it’s not.

Anyhow, i love HTML5, and I have made it possible to change the launcher’s background to an image or color. I made this as an Chrome/Chromium Extension. Here’s a screenshot: http://i32.tinypic.com/c5o47.png
It just loads a custom CSS, very simple.

Sometimes the UI is slow when running many applications, uses almost 50% RAM, boots up in 40 sec (press on-button until icons shows up) on Acer Aspire One A110 (512Mb Ram yeah..)

Also, when clicking You on the Stream page.. I would like it to show my “profile”, not just the items i liked. Nothing big, heh.

I will improve the extension, making background customizable, and maybe add more options.

DJazzy

GOOOOOOoooooooooooooDDD OS but i dont know can I run dis OS on my netbook if I havnt internet connectino…?????

The pre was so much easier to use than 1.0. This is not intuitive at all. The placement of everything is now so messy. Before, no menu button was needed, all the choices were on the desktop immediately. Go back to how it was! Will continue trying it, but may well say goodbye.

Hy! The 1.0 Jolicloud like for me, but the boot time is horror!
Pre 30 sec
1.0 130 sec!!!!
(Dell Mini 1012)

Sorry I wrote false number.
The boot time:
Pre 30 sec
1.0 60-70 sec.
Other problem: I switch my Mini to sleep mode, but after 1-2 minute I cannot switch ON the computer.
I like the 1.0, because this OS can use vga card (GMA500) of my Dell Mini.

Maybe helpful

I went to the far left top
right clicked (you need to be at the right spot) till I got a “ADD TO PANEL” and selected it.

A window pops up.
I scrolled down and picked “MAIN MENU” and “MENU BAR”

And now I have access to apps, places, and system like in 0.9. only in a drop down in the upper left side, its not too bad.

I think the openoffice impress app is broken because when I open it, it opens the writer (word processor). Removed it and install again several times, still the same..

Well done team. best ever.

Hello there. I have a bit of a problem here. I’ve just upgraded to JC 1.0 and nothing seems to work properly. I didn’t wait on the email like I was supposed to, I guess… My bad. Anyway, what happened was that while reading the upgrade guide I stumbled upon an “advanced” way to upgrade, via terminal. So I did it, hassle-free. But after I rebooted, I was propted to login to my account, then redirected to a page in JC’s website that said something about a shortage of upgrades for the day. Now I can’t get my netbook to work anymore, because of that. I’ve found my own ways, like Alt+F2 to run programs, but that’s it. I want my JC back! Can anyone help me???

The upgrade process is confuseing!
After upgrade I am once more forced to upgrade ( by the orange sign). But than nothing happens ! That “second upgrade” is hanging.
Whats that ?

I like it, no problem with the upgrade.

I’m missing google chrome because chromium has some bugs !
Google chrome dissapeared with the upgrade.

Hello.
After updaing to Jolicloud 1.0, i got some problems with locale in file manager: all cyrillic chars in filenames and file contents now displayed as “?”.
How can i fix this problem, if it can be fixed?

So thanks to the good guys at Support, I got the JC 1.0 up and running. And I must say I love it! I’d like to have more options to personalize the menus, but that’s it. Everything simply works. Six months ago I was a W7 user, then Ubuntu then JC. And there’s no coming back. I’m carrying around my Live USB pendrive to spread the word. Thanks JC!

I have Jolicloud set up on 16GB USB drive, but I want to know if there is away to save the settings or the changes I made before shutdown.

Hum, loved the pre-release, still not 100% sure of 1.0, but that may be the way I’m using it.

Having installed a few apps from the app directory (eg openoffice calc and evernote) I now find that I can’t get them to run- the apps appear greyed out in the window. My copy of songbird installed pre upgrade is the same, whereas facebook and openoffice word (also pre update) work fine.

Jolicloud has prompted me to sync apps a few times, which I have done, always to no avail.

Will I have to sync every time I want to use these programs? (indeed, will I ever get to use them?!)

I love the OS generally, but this upgrade is proving a little disheartening.

I hate it! Goodbye Jolicloud …

JC 1.0: I like it, I use it, but – go back to pre-final design!

I don’t like the new Jolicloud 1.0.
My lenovo s10 fan kept running at full blast
the whole time that I was using it, which never
happens in Windows 7 Ultimate which I predominantly
use.

Some of the features seem rather pointless as well.
Such as the activity stream features. Nobody
cares what programs I’ve installed or am using.
Why is this even a feature?

Overall I feel the previous version worked a
lot better, IMO.

Please please please let us go back to the prebeta design!. It run much better than this. My asus 1201ha is running much more slowly and I really want to have my regular desktop back.

Is there a way to re-order the quick launch icons so I can have the ones I use more on the first page?

I think this would be great for users who want an easy set up and everything done for them. I like it and may continue to use it but not as my main OS. I may revert back to Ubuntu Remix as it is very similar to the release before the upgrade. Im not to happy with the 1.0 release because I liked the added apps I had installed and also the fact I could customize my own fave folder were now I have to scroll through 5 pages to get to Mozilla lol. Never mind eh, thanks for your efforts Im sure alot of people will love the ease of this OS.

Jolicloud: Linux Betriebssystem für das Netbook…

Jolicloud ist ein Linux-Betriebssystem, das eigens für die Anwendung auf dem Netbook optimiert wurde und das Eintauchen in die neue Welt (oder Cloud) der Social Communities noch einfacher macht. Neulich habe ich Jolicloud schon einmal in meinem Ar…

I’ve just upgraded to 1.0 on my Eee PC 701 – it’s really unstable – the main interface keeps crashing entirely, needing a reboot. This has happened about 3 times in the 4 or so hours I’ve used the new system for. Also, it’s refusing to install new apps – it keeps syncing them, but they never become usable. Am I the only one having this problem?

Also, the way the apps are arranged now is kinda odd – some on one page (that isn’t full), and some on the other. Can this be customisable in the near future please?

Otherwise, the new OS looks promising, even if it has eaten nearly all of my hard drive! I’m planning on doing a clean install when the 1.0 installer comes out, in the hope I’ll have more than 300 MB left.

Loved the previous releases of Jolicloud. However, I am running an acer aspire one D250 and have zero sound. The little drum cadence sounds on start up. After I log in the master volume is set to mute. I turn off mute, max the volume and nothing. Right now this is the only thing that really bothers me. And the drab new home screen. Other than that the functionality seems to spot on.

I just installed jolicloud on my hp mini but now the sound isn’t working. what should i do?

Shift+Esc brings up the task manager. Once you log out of Jolicloud (which is just the my.jolicloud.com web page) you can end most of the processes using the task manager, except of course chromium, which is just a web browser.
Pressing Ctrl+N will open a new tab with an address bar and you can surf the web all you want.

It IS interesting how they get a web page to interact with the hardware, like the file explorer.

I never used Joilicloud before 1.0 so I won’t be one of the ones whining about the changes. I think it looks great, and despite what you’ve said before I got it working just fine on my work desktop.

Love it, keep up the good work

My SD or any other SD doesn´t appear anywhere.
I formatted in NTFS, FAT, FAT 32 and nothing happened.
In the pre-final and previous versions I didn´t have that problem, and now I feel stuck and sad.
Maybe you can give me some tips.

Thanks!

Just heard about Jolicloud, got excited, installing it ….. but … got stuck at the “Okay, I’m online!”

I am behind a corporate firewall, We dont have transparent proxies, what are my options?

I really liked the pre-release interface, but this version is… underwhelming. It is bland and boring, unintuitive, difficult to navigate, and near impossible to configure. Can’t you allow for a way to use the old interface? It was MUCH better.

Extremely disappointed with 1.0: if I wanted an interface that looked like an iPhone or an iPad, I would have bought one of those. Why can’t we have the interface of 0.9? Far more intuitive. As soon as I find a different distro that works on my netbook, I’m gone.

Congratulations.

I really like 1.0 interface, i do. Since 0.9 looked more like standard gnome menu with some features and drop of gloss, new one is far more convenient. But there are some features i would suggest for future releases:
1) If jolicloud was made for netbooks it would be good to show detailed internet connection activity – right now i’m using very expensive internet connection so i want to know how many information is transferred through wi-fi or so. You can do some pretty tables and buttons to satisfy those needs, im sure ;)

2) Despite all changes in interface, there are still some residual artefacts of standard Gnome, and the worst is Nautilus. Damn, i cant work with that piece of crap on my Samsung n110, especially using touchpad – it’s some kind of torture working with large lists of files and those wicked menus.

Nautilus in current Jolicloud looks like extremely hairy legs dressed in mini-skirt.

3) Also, i appreciate that you following “netbook” concept so estimately 70% of applications offered to install are web-based. But, c’mon, i’m sure there are lots of simple games available for linux platform that dont need persistent internet connection. Of course netbooks were made for surfing, but they are still laptops, with processors, memory and graphic processors(even integrated, who cares) so it would be better to use it on it’s best and to find compromise between web applications and native.

4) MORE INTEGRATION. With web applications i mean. It looks odd when i open, for example, Meebo and some links in it are opened in new appearing chrome window – u better keep application in one place. And in month or so i think it’s time to offer some services more integration with jolicloud, fortunately it’s no more some kind of “geek project” =)

I have “foundating member” badge that will always keep me close to jolicloud(it’s my only OS on laptop), so good luck to you =)

Does anyone know how to hack the non-functioning Keyboard shortcuts ? I have a Dell mini and want to use the old style menu instead of the iPad interface desperately. My Dell Mini does not have the windows era menu button.

It seems very Ironic that I need a windows key to switch out of an iPad emulator into a Linux menu, LOL.

Love Jolicloud. Thanks for the great work on it. I would like to be able to customize the Launchpad with my own apps. In this respect, I enjoyed the pre-release better. I hope you’ll fix this with the next update.

Thanks

Hi, JoliCloud is great. Please reconsider giving us the option to switch back to the old interface. The new interface is only useful using tablets or touchscreen PCs. I think you are going to see alot of previously happy Jolicloud users switch away. You’ve worked so hard on JoliCloud and put in too much effort for that to happen. Thank you.

Hi!

I have 2 dell mini 10 (for my kids to use)

I just installed a fresh JC on one, still getting used to the interface. I just can’t figure out how to change the interface’s language! I selected spanish language during install, but the interface is in english. The apps are in spanish though…

On the other, I had 0.9. I did the update, but I still have the 0.9 interface…

Any help will be appreciated.

I have a netbook that wasn’t listed on the list of supported netbooks, but it works flawlessly. How do I report on that?

alt+f1 for terminal?….. Why not Ctrl+Alt+T?

I have loaded Jolicloud on my HP TC1100. I am getting the following error:

(EE) NVIDIA(0) Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module!
(EE) NVIDIA(0) ***Aborting***
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a useable configuration.

I need help on resolving. Please!!!

I love JC_OS; it was really simple to install and use for me . . . but

But when I was jollier I read this: ((sorry by Google Traslate))

“” . . . Since it is already open to the public, it’s time to see how things have been done. We will create us an account, and launch the Live CD to test. In addition, we will monitor the traffic it generates.

The first thing we asked when it finishes booting Jolicloud is that we connect to the Internet to log on to the computer. Once you log prepared and see what and how data sent to the server:

The user name and password are sent in an HTTP POST request clear. “SSL?” Why?

After our credentials have traveled readable by world, we are within our computer, our applications locally, and plenty of shortcuts to online services (Dropbox, Gmail, Facebook, Twitter …). We will download our first application, it will be VLC:

The request is again clear, indicating the application and the action to take. . . . “”

In my Asus1201ha equipped with processor Z520, 1280×720 mkv movies run slow. Probe with mplayer without success. Please help, Jolicloud is fantastic.

New version looks great and is fast …. but ….

Help..

whilst updating I have lost the orange update icon! How can I re-instate it on the menu bar?

Just tried out Jolicloud 1.0 with my emachines emd350 and I say it rocks!, but sadly the battery life is meager , does the update/install run behind a proxy?

I find the stream a waste of space IMO.
I don’t want to follow another of people I don’t know to see what apps they’ve got.

Tengo una HP mini 110-3026LA.No detecta sonido.Tambien compre una HP mini 110-1026 donde el sonido se escucha muy bien.Jolicloud es un SO muy bueno a pesar de las criticas negativas.

halo guys!Jolicloud rocks,yet still,things need to be done(according to me,of course)!First of all,because i use stuff like Empathy,i’d like to put at least a shortcut to desktop,i also would like to be a shortcut to desktop for my files,becausethere’s lot of stuff to do,before accesing them(drives/Jolicloud/files).You might as well considering Tv sites who broadcast outside Us and England(such as WWtv,or something like thart).I said all that,because i’d like to stick on my Joliclloud!

I installed under VirtualBox successfully, but I don’t know where & how to setup my proxy, so that I can not connect to internet.
Any frields can help on this?

I got stuck with a cloud and three blinking dots — no launcher. Solution: F5.

Personally, I keep bad cholesterol low through avoiding to eat so much crap and doing some regular exercise. Enjoying soccer, running, what have you.

Hi,

i enjoy JC very much, thank you. I have a question to which I was not able to find answer on the internet. I would like to have Calculator, File Manager, Text Editor and some other local apps on the main dashboard. I can’t find a way to move them from Local Apps to the dashboard.

At the same time, the VLC and Vim got installed on the dashboard, although both seem to be local apps. Is there a way to trick JC into installing (or re-installing) Calculator and Textpad/pico/whatever) to the dashboard?

If there needs to be some manual tweaking done, please point me to the right place, I can handle that.

Thanks.

Yuri O.

How do I hide icons for things like add-ons? I would like to at least have drag and drop folder support so I could group icons like these in one folder to get them out of the way.

I really enjoyed %BLOGTITLE%. For example, as well as being used in combination with therapeutic massage, can also be put together with acupuncture to bring concerning healing faster.

No sign of any “legacy” option under the “this device” anymore?

When I minimize an application or web window, it shows that it minimizes towards the bottom left of the screen, except I have no way of finding it again. Could you help me, please?

I read this just a couple of minutes ago and thought I’d pass it along although it is not definitely that relevant. How do you define success?

I am not going to comment rather I have a question regarding Joli OS. In my assembled PC I have installed Joli OS along side with window XP . It’s a nice and very light open distro no doubt.Now a days when I run Joli OS it shwos the message …..
