The live cd has a user name of "bodhi" with no password. If you need help beyond that please create a thread in the request support section.

FYI, the netbook/tablet layout prevents showing the Install icon. Use one of the other layouts for installation, then you can choose netbook/tablet after installation when setting up the "permanent" configuration.

Can't you scroll up your screen using the touchpad? That way the bottom part of your desktop would be visible and usable.

I could not figure out how to do that - every attempt seemed to just trigger the apps menu from that big bar across the bottom of the netbook desktop - easier to reboot the ISO thumb drive and pick some other style than netbook.

Thanks anyway - behind me now

Excited to read there's a new release; not pleased with Ubuntu's newest product. So, hoping to return to Bodhi, must ask if the problems I encountered with nVidia and console (xterm) were corrected?

[Jeff]

nvidia 173 drivers have issues, but current drivers work (for 6000 series and newer).

Never recall anyone reporting xterm issues, but lots of threads going on round here.

Hi all.
Sorry for asking such an obvious question (searched and found no answer on this forum), but what Ubuntu version is the latest Bodhi release (meaning the one from this topic) based on?
Also, what is Bodhi's release cycle? Does it follow Ubuntu, like Mint does, or does it follow LTS releases only or something third?

[Jeff Schallenberg]

@veggen:

Welcome to Bodhi!

Bodhi is built on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, and follows Ubuntu's LTS upgrade cycle. Point releases are issued as required for Enlightenment upgrades. Kernel updates are announced, and can be installed from the Bodhi repositories.

For more information:

[veggen]

Alrighty. Thanks for the info!

[EDIT]
I've just noticed your signature. Does it mean you have Bodhi on Asus eeePC 701? I also have one of those and would very much be interested in trying Bodhi on it. What are your experiences? What works and what not? Especially the current release.

Sorry if this is too much off-topic. I'm not going to ask for more details than the brief "works or not" overview.

Thanks.

[Jeff]

veggen - Please see the hardware wiki page from Asus modules here. If you have any further questions please create a new thread.

Welcome to the boards.

That's good to read!

I was incorrect using "xterm". Here's what I was referencing: http://tinyurl.com/3cbzfkv

Guys...
I have tested de 0.1 version, and there was the drawer module.
But I can't find this module on version 1.0 and 1.1.
It don't apper even in the repositories por install.
I got the 1.1 version with bare installation.
What I doing wrong?

[]'s

[Jeff]

Drawer module has never been compiled in Bodhi. According to the E devs I have spoken with it is no longer maintained and should not be used any longer.

~Jeff

[bressix]

Sad news...
The best module IMHO.
But OK... goes on without it.

Thanks Jeff

Please, forgive me, if I am stating the obvious, but kernal 2.6.39-2 is, also, in Add Software .

I updated the kernel back when Bodhilinux got its upgrade. What a mistake! The new kernel won't even boot. Unfortunately, it is the default in grub. Traditionally, if I wished to alter the default boot I simply edited menu.lst. Bodhi apparently doesn't have menu.lst anywhere except in an example user/share/doc/memtest86+/examples/grub-menu.lst. Grrrrr. Am I to spend the foreseeable future baby sitting the boot procedure on this machine? I think I'd rather re-install (or go to another os entirely). Or is there some secret method by which I can coax Bodhi to boot to a usable kernel?

[Timmy]

Just uninstall the kernel that doesn't work, from Synaptic.

EDIT: issuing the command sudo update-grub from the kernel that works _might_ help too, not sure though.

Nevermind.
