im not able to direct install bodhi 7 due to the installation dont proceed with a kernel panic caused by my system memory is just 1GB in a hardware limitation can i upgrade it from bodhi 6 to bodhi 7 directly? simple install update-manager-core and run sudo do-release-upgrade and bodhi repository change from focal b6main to jammy b7main? You can rebuild the official Bodhi Linux 7.0 distribution image to use it on low-RAM computer as described here: bodhilinux.boards.net/post/12715/threadPlease note that you should use an improved version of the shell scripts from the package bl70_lowram_v2.tgz ( not bl70_lowram.tgz) in your BL 6.0 system. |

Hi everybody, I am wondering if it is a good idea to install the Bodhi 7 on ThinkPad x1 carbon 7th gen. I have Bodhi (not the latest) on X61 and X220 - running great. Now, with this "new" machine I started wondering if all the hardware will actually work... I got a i5-8265U option... the usb-c's and all that modern nonsense  I am not as tech-savvy so withouth too much details - will it work or are there too many variables to consider for a quick answer?  Thanks! |

I have no experience with your device but the best method is just to try to install Bodhi on it. In general I do not expect any issues. If so, we will solve them here Stefan |

Hey,
So I have tried Bodhi 7 with live usb - the computer worked just fine with all the fancy stuff going "on" and "off" when triggered. It is the ThinkPad X1 7th gen with i5 and 16GB RAM.
Just letting everybody know.
Thanks,
Andy

hi, all
I have been using Bodhi 6 hwe on my laptop Chuwi Lapbook SE (intel uhd 6000 video card) last time. The main issue which i haven't fixed - touchpad can be crashed after some time after start. And the only way to continue - attach mouse (or reboot).
Which release of Bodhi you will recommend be to try to avoid this issue with touchpad?
SE / HWE/ S76 / AppPack / deBodhi ?

I would recommend using latest hwe kernel, if that's your question. You can't switch to debodhi's kernel without a clean install, but if regular ubuntu based bodhi isn't working for you, I guess it wouldn't hurt to try; the debian backports kernel is newer than the 22.04 hwe kernel. But as long as you have kernel updates enabled and your hardware is already supported by the kernel version you have, unlikely a newer kernel version will help.
Are you sure attaching a mouse is is really the only way to continue without reboot? Maybe start a troubleshooting thread and list the things you've tried, possibly you're mistaken and maybe I or someone has some ideas of things you haven't thought to try.

Thanks for this great release! Installed it yesterday, it's snappier than 6. My little netbook (Lenovo Ideapad 110S, 2GB ram, 32GB hd) is running fine and still good enough for my needs. My satisfaction is like having won the Olympics and I take the liberty of quoting (I do kindly) you.. my answer is similar to yours.  I have a laptop from 10-12 years ago (it had the default W10) with 4 GB RAM and I feel like I'm flying now! (  Sorry for asking here, but I'm just new to Linux and could someone give me a link for a guide to read on what to do, how to install, etc.) |

Isn't there a way to upgrade to Bodhi 7.0 from 6.0 via terminal. Linux mint had "mintupgrade" to do this, and I read it's not possible to do so in Bodhi  |

mihi - Bodhi doesn't officially support updating from releases but you can update from 6.0 to 7.0 if you know how to edit the /etc/apt/sources.list and replace instances of 'hardy' with 'jammy', but a fresh install is best advised.

I followed the Ubuntu method for upgrading and it really did a job. Unfortunately I ended up with some unusable applications which I needed to fix. So good luck Stefan |
