(from Forum user fore17) Sometimes, and it may happen, you install an application and all goes OK, but you cannot find it in the menu. First: notify developers in the forum. As far as I know there isn't a GUI for this. These steps have worked for me at least with GTK applications. I have not tested this but I guess it should work with KDE apps as well.

Apt-get is a very powerful command-line utility for downloading, installing, and uninstalling packages. It is very easy to use (though perhaps not as friendly as Synaptic Package Manager) and very convenient for scripting. Updating the Repositories Before you install anything using apt-get, it's a good idea to run:

bodhi_behind_the_name

2011-11-20T09:39:14+00:00

Bodhi is a Sanskrit/Pāli word which is usually translated into English as “enlightenment”. Thus it is an appropriate name for a Linux distribution utilising the Enlightenment desktop. The Sanskrit word bodhi is derived from the root budh- which means “to become aware, to awake, to come to know/understand”, from which is also derived the word Buddha “the enlightened one”.

This refers to: Installing from a CD drive? The installation instructions say a USB drive is needed for installation. But only fairly modern computers have a BIOS that allows this. One of the main attractions of Bodhi is for use on old PCs so some info on installing from a CD/DVD would be helpful (assuming that is possible).

. Since Firefox is not installed by default in Bodhi Linux it is not pre-configured to use the apturl protocol that allows installation of software from the Bodhi Add Software Site. Somewhat “recent” versions of Firefox have allowed a simple configuration of apturl. Firefox would provide a pop-up window when you clicked an apt link that would allow you to navigate to and select /usr/bin/apturl and that resolved the issue.

If you run Bodhi on a GMA500, you probably have a netbook, most likely with a webcam. For a graphics solution that works with webcams have a look here: Vaapi works as well (for all these other devices where they used the GMA500), but is slightly less stable than the PSB drivers (). However, the PSB drivers do not have as good 3D support. Basically, what you get with PSB is screen rotation,…

So, if you've made the mistake of installing Windows after Bodhi, you might discover that the GRUB bootloader is missing and you cannot enter Bodhi, but you end up in Windows after a boot. This happened to me today... why oh, why did I install Windows? Here are the steps I took to get GRUB back and get back into Bodhi: 1. Search the web high and low for a fix... 2. Reboot the computer with your Bodhi live cd. 3. Open a terminal and type the following:

(from Forum user fore17) Sometimes, and it may happen, you install an application and everything goes OK except you cannot find it in the menu. First, you should notify developers in the forum. As far as I know there isn't a GUI for this but these steps have worked for me with GTK applications.

Meta Packages in Debian based distributions, such as Bodhi, Ubuntu, Mint etc are basically a deb file, in which the Control File has within it a number of different dependencies, which dpkg / apt will try to download and install. The Bodhi AppCenter offers a few of these Meta-Packages, the primary ones being Pratibha and Nikilha. An example of one of the lesser meta-packages would be bodhi-web-dev with a selection of web-development software.

nm_autoconnect

2011-05-11T14:00:35+00:00

How can I connect automatically to my preferred network? There is a bug in NetworkManager that prevents it from saving configuration changes when you edit the connection to mark “connect automatically” and “available for all users”. There is a workaround: First make sure that the keyfile plugin is loaded; /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf should look like this:

2012-01-02T01:38:59+00:00

Why do I have to enter a password to unlock the Network Manager Keyring? Even though you have configured Bodhi (at installation time) for auto-login, the Network Manager still asks you for your password at every boot to unlock the mysterious “keyring”. You can eliminate this hassle easily.

To enable it in Bodhi do the following: First things first, install notify-osd: sudo apt-get install notify-osd Next we need to edit a single file to make sure notify-osd always starts up (by default it will only start in Gnome). To do this run the following:

You don't have to configure it; it's an X11 program. Just install it and your NumLock will be on next time you boot.

When plugged in for the first time, they act like a flash storage and start installing the driver from there. If the driver is already installed, the storage device vanishes and a new device, such as an USB modem, shows up. This is called the “ZeroCD” feature.

Perhaps others with similar hardware will describe their experiences also.
