Aspire One D150 runs Joli Os very good, no problems, put on the list please ;)
I am running Joli OS on my Dell Studio 1558 perfectly .. blazing fast! Add it to the list to let others know!
Thanks!
Jake, what is the video card inside your Dell Studio 15 (1558)?
UMID's mbook M1 can not find wireless network driver!
MSI Wind U230 is this device compatible
As this is Ubuntu based, is there a way to install the restricted drivers for wireless or video cards?
Julius, it's always worth to try! Let us know how it goes :)
Tim, any Ubuntu instructions should work since Joli OS is based on Ubuntu as you said. Note you can get in touch with our developers.
Joli OS worked perfectly out-of-the-box on my Dell Latitude D510. WiFi connected on the first try, and it's now a new machine. Love it.
Please add ipad n ipad2!
Thanks Steve, the Dell Latitude D510 has been added.
Joel, it's not possible to install Joli OS on an iPad. That said, Safari for iPad is supported as an experimental HTML5 port. Just go to my.jolicloud.com
Dell Latitude D810 - Working perfectly
Except for a problem with my video, but it happens to many Linux distros, so I know it's not Joli's fault. :)
Thanks Paulo!
I would like to help anyone who has the same problem I have (with the X600 video not saving resolution changes on boot) so anyone just e-mail-me paulobral@facebook.com I will be glad to help.
Toshiba Satellite Pro L450-13Q works perfectly :)
Thanks! It has been added with the Satellite Pro L300 :)

Hi there!
Andy, check this topic.
John, what's the graphic card?
Bradley, thanks, it has been added :)
NVIDIA GeForce4 440 GoGL
Ok, it seems not supported yet. A future update should solve the issue.
Acer Aspire 5050 works very good.
AMD Turion 64x2, Mobile Technology TL-52 160 GHz
ATI Radeon Xpress Series / 639MB
Problems with:
1. webcam, in Cheese is unclear and in red color. Skype doesn't se it. Some guys sad that to up-date the kernel. Not solved yet. I receive to many different advices.
2. Speakers: Even after I set in proprieties, the sound runs in laptop at the same time with the headphones. The mic in laptop is not working. Solution: I cut the sound in laptop and I let only in headphone.
3. Samsung SCX-4100 (printer, scanner, xerox), I need to fix manual the printer and I solved, But much more problems to fix the scanner. Solved in final form here: http://www.bchemnet.com/suldr/ (The Samsung Unified Linux Drive Repository)
I discover the webcam model: 0c45:6260 Microdia PC Camera (SN9C201 + OV7670ISP)
Not solved yet. I work at it. I will be back when it's solved.
The problem found in Terminal is "gspca-2.13.5.tar.gz"
just installed it on my Gateway LT2802U netbook and it works NEAR flawlessly: screen resolution (and i'm guessing graphics driver in general, as youtube videos don't lag and nor does scrolling), battery measure, sound (speakers AND headphones work, and the speakers do turn off when you plug in the headphones), keyboard works, sleeping/waking up, microphone, and pretty much most noticeable things
what DOESNT work, however, are: some function keys (including mute and volume control), touchpad multigesture (even though scrolling works, but like zooming and stuff doesn't work)
Thanks for your feedback Niema!
(OS) works on Acer Aspire One, just can't get my USB connected printer to print. It shows it as "installed" HP Deskjet D-1600 series, but will not print. I did the [alt] + [F1] and right click/paste the sudo thing that installed the cups and what ever else it put in there for enabling printing, and still nothing after reboot. Any suggestions? (OS) is useless to me if I can't print my course syllabus. Thanks.
Hi,
Did you install the Printing Add-on from the App Center?
Thinkpad X120e. Not detecting my monitor, so I can't adjust resolution. Resolution doesn't seem sharp enough. How can I change this? Everything else works perfectly!
Running awesome on my Samsung NC10-KA05 over here. Have problems with installing it on a Acer Aspire M1300 (graphics won't display/so can't get trough the install) but will try to find a work around. (tips are welcome!)
Sven, did you check the Local Settings folder on your launcher. There's a shortcut to the Monitors settings.
Juliet, what's the graphic card of your Acer Aspire M1300?
Does not work on Acer Aspire 5536g , ATI mobility Radeon 4500 series ... any one can help me out ???
Can't get the wifi to work on my HP Mini 1100-1192eo. What shall I do?
Jolicloud is a great operating system for netbooks! It ROFL-stomps Google's FAILbook, and the best part of it is: it's Linux! =D But unfortunately, I find Joli OS 1.2 is kinda sluggish and choppy with my Intel Atom N455 single core processor on my ASUS Eee PC 1001PXD. It's definitely not my ASUS that is the problem, but I think it has to do with how Joli OS uses my computer's resources. It doesn't like me when I try to use Chromium with 10+ tabs open, and online games are a bit laggy.
Hats off to the forum moderators who tend to all of our questions! Many thanks.
Joli OS does not run correctly on an Elonex Webbook, please see this issue which makes it unusable, currently (request 5557).

Hi, Jolicloud dev team! I just installed Jolicloud on my Dell Optiplex GX280. I am using a Linksys by Cisco AE1000 Wireless-N adapter, which can offer connection speeds of up to 300Mbps in theory on the 2.4GHz or the 5GHz bands. It must be installed on Windows with the included setup software, but I wiped my Windows partition and wrote over it with Jolicloud. I could try using another adapter, but I sure would like to see my 300Mbps connection speed again! Anything you can do to help?
Eric, you can contact the Ubuntu community since Joli OS is based on Ubuntu (10.04 LTS right now) and/or contact the manufacturer of your device.
Zo, I think it's an issue related to the very specific card of your computer.
Wait for a new release or try to manually install the proper drivers.
is jolicloud compatable with a Compaq mini cq 10-500
thanks
installed it on a dual boot, works fine
Asus K52Jr is working perfectly with Joli OS dual booting windows 7.
It will probably work with other K52 series asus laptops
I have installed Joli OS on Nokia Booklet 3g and everything works out of the box except BLUETOOTH. The bluetooth icon is clearly visible and i can turn on/off the device but the BLUETOOTH SERVICE is not running. Thanks for your help.
Does not detect wireless networks on acer aspire 3690.
Thank you for any help!
@Eric Lee Sternot and @Jolicloud team:
I found the answer to my problem. It is kind of roundabout, but the solution to getting the Linksys by Cisco AE1000 Wireless-N Adapter to work in Joli OS (Ubuntu 10.04) is here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1630358
One thing I would like to see, though, is support for the wireless adapter built into the ASUS U56E-BBL5 laptop. It might be worthwhile to check out this link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11576409. I will report back once I have tested whether this potential solution works.
Nope. My ASUS U56E-BBL5 still won't connect to the Internet -- either with a tested patch cable connected to the Ethernet port on the laptop or with the built-in wireless card -- to log into Joli OS. I should note that I have Windows 7 set up as my primary operating system. Joli OS lives on either another partition or "frugally" with 64-bit Windows 7, however the automatic installer from the Jolicloud site sets it up. I don't have my lappy in front of me right now, so I can't check the partitions in the Disk Management snap-in of Windows 7's Microsoft Management Console.
I had previously installed Joli OS (Ubuntu 10.04) by itself on my Dell Optiplex GX280 Small Mini-Tower. I could connect to the Internet with the Ethernet cable and, later, after modifying the driver files of my Linksys by Cisco AE1000 Wireless-N adapter as per the instructions here.
Maybe Joli OS just won't work with this laptop. :( Any ideas?
On a separate note, I successfully installed Joli OS by itself on my uncle's Gateway SX2800-01r desktop. I recently wiped that drive and replaced it with an SSD, on which I installed 64-bit Windows 7. How could I modify the bootloader menu to make the PC boot up to Windows 7 by default instead of booting to Joli OS by default? I'm guessing I'd have to perform such an operation by accessing BCDedit.
Eric, in order to make Win7 the default OS, perform these steps:
Run msconfig, click on the "Boot" tab, click on the line in the box that says Win7 to highlight it, click on the "Set as default", voila!! Now, when you restart, Win7 will be the highlighted OS and if you let the timer end Win7 will commence. Hope this helps man, holler...
Well, I'll be damned! I didn't know Windows had a graphical method of performing a change to the boot order. I kind of figured I'd have to edit a configuration file with BCDedit, kind of like how one edits the GRUBv1 menu.lst configuration file. Thanks, zo zamora!
Unfortunately, I don't know if I'll get much of an opportunity to test that out with Joli OS, since it doesn't work on my laptop. I might try it on my ol' Dell desktop, though, when I get a chance.
Glad to hear it worked for ya :) I actually found this "fix" by accident when I was forcing my 64bit OS to use all available/installed memory...go figure :D

Hi there,
I have a Samsung NP - NC110 netbook, i installed Joli and, although the NC110 is listed above, I’m having trouble with it finding my Wi-Fi card, as far as i can tell it’s an Intel Wi-Fi card but it won’t pick it up what so ever.
The Wi-Fi card was working fine when running win 7, stopped when i installed Joli os ( booted with windows and a separate installation all together (( without windows )) ) and it just won’t work, any help will be greatly appreciated! Email me @ jackcunningham1992@hotmail.co.uk Thanks
I have problems with my Samsung NC0-KA05DE. :-( I have a black display with white/blue stripes after the restart after installation.
Sorry, Samsung NC10-KA05DE.
I have an HP Pavillion Dv6z-1100 with a Mobility Radeon HD 4500/5100 Series video card. When I boot from cd or usb, half the windows don't come up properly, and there is no mouse pointer. If I run the installer from boot, all windows are solid grey with no options. Are there any boot options to change display driver to get the installer working, so I can get a proper video driver installed?
Found a workaround. I edited the boot time parameters for the "try without installing" option and added nomodeset to get into the desktop. I was able to get the installer to run, then after reboot into the hard drive installation, I installed the fglrx driver.
Acer Aspire 5740G seems to be fine, Joli 1.2, wifi works, wired connection too, screen ok, touchpad ok. app´s loading ok, installed with dual boot Ubuntu 11.10 also access to shared folders seems to be ok, installation process was easy.
