Bodhi Linux 3 0 0 Road Map FAQ and Donation Drive Updates

Bodhi Linux 3 0 0 Road Map FAQ and Donation Drive Updates The Here and Now - What is going on with Bodhi 2.x.y In September of last year I posted a notice that the Bodhi 2.x.y update release cycle would be moving to releases three times a year. Then I went and made a liar out of myself when we didnt have a 2.5.0 release in January. For the sake of clarity I would like to let folks know that Bodhi 2.4.0 will be the last set of updated discs in our 2.x.y release cycle. That being said - our 2.x.y software repositories will keep seeing their normal software updates through the summer of 2014. After this point the 2.x.y release will be moved into "security updates only" mode. Meaning the only changes to software in the 2.x.y repos at that point will be to patch security vulnerabilities. 2.x.y will continue getting security updates until 2017 when Ubuntu 12.04 reaches its end of life. The Future - Plans for Bodhi 3.x.y Our plan for major releases has always been every two years ju...

Bodhi on MK802 and other ARM Updates

Bodhi on MK802 and other ARM Updates MK802: Today I am happy to announce our first public Bodhi images for the MK802 Android stick: This image comes with a 3.0 kernel and it has OpenGL support for MK802 GPU enabled out of the box. You can find a download link for the MK802 on the ARMHF page of the Bodhi website. The default user name is armhf  and the password is bodhilinux . This default user has sudo enabled for installing software and ssh is on by default. To use this release simply DD the provided .img file to a micro SD card, insert it into your MK802 and power it up. This image has a 1080p script.bin by default, meaning if you are trying to use this image on a screen that only supports 720p resolution you will need to replace the script.bin on the first partition of the image with the one found here. Since this is our first image for this ARM chipset I have no doubt that it will contain some rough edges. For certain the MK802s built in wireless and OpenGL are f...

Bodhi Linux 1 2 1 and other Updates

Bodhi Linux 1 2 1 and other Updates At little over a month ago the Bodhi team and I released our second update release. We were unaware at the time that the version of GCC used to compile the kernel on this release had an issue that caused an issue for some users when compiling and inserting extra kernel modules (such as the nvidia drivers and Virtual Box). This update release today contains a kernel in which this issue has been resolved. If you already installed Bodhi 1.2.0 (or an earlier release) and your system is working fine (odds are it is, this issue was only affecting some users) there is no reason to install this new release. It is simply a bug fix release so the ISO image has the updated kernel by default. You can find the new ISO image in high speed torrent download here or via direct download here. Speaking of the nVidia driver - we know that jockey-gtk did not play nicely with Bodhi because we do not force kernel updates as Ubuntu does. Because of this we developed our ow...
