Today I am happy to let everyone know that I have published what I consider to be a "beta" quality image:Bodhi for Pi: http://bodhilinux.com/downloads_mobile.phpThe download comes in the form of a compressed .IMG file, which can be extracted and...

HOWTO: Create and use .IMG files from the CLI

Posted on 14:09 by Unknown
Now that Bodhi's second stable release for the desktop is settling down, I am going to be putting a bit of focus on our ARM releases for the next couple of weeks. ARM images typically are provided in the form of .IMG files. Using a downloaded .IMG file is fairly simple. You can write it to a drive of your choice with a single command:sudo dd if=myfile.img of=/path/to/drive bs=1MOne thing worth noting though is that /path/to/drive should not include any partition number. An example path would be something like:/dev/sdbNote that writing large images...

Bodhi Linux 2.0.0 Release Candidate

Posted on 13:51 by Unknown
A little over six weeks ago I posted about the first Bodhi Linux 2.0.0 public image. We have had three other builds release since then and today I would like to announce the availability of build 5 for download. I am stamping this build as our "release candidate" meaning that is is a stable working environment and something extremely close to this release will become our "stable"/final 2.0.0 release by the end of this month.What is missing from this release still? Of note our AppCenter is still in the process of being transitioned over to work...

HOWTO: Make your QT Applications Blend In

Posted on 14:15 by Unknown
Since Bodhi Linux includes GTK applications by default, you will find they have a fairly neutral tone that blends fairly well with the rest of the system. Beyond this Enlightenment has a built in tool for changing the look of GTK applications.What is a person to do though when they install VLC or some other QT application for the first time and it looks like this:First off - don't panic! It is a fairly simple/quick fix to get your QT applications...

Is Blizzard banning Linux Users?

Posted on 06:43 by Unknown
While some companies like Valve are working on porting their software to run natively on Linux, it appears some other large companies are going to the extreme to prevent users from running their software on free operating systems.The company I am talking about? None other than Blizzard Games. Late last month users started reporting on the Wine APPDB page for Diablo 3 that their user accounts where getting banned simply for running their games using Wine! So this is me providing a fair warning to everyone else out there running Diablo 3 via Wine...
