Edit: Finally managed to pull down at top of window, and finally it did moved down. After that lifted whole window to up again and saw buttons at bottom, managed to continue. Repeating procedure of moving window up/down and finally installation is running. Phew!  Still my opinion remains about that menu option to directly install. |

Ok, I just continue this much:
All seems good so far exept...
-No sound (got to compare sound settings to Slax which is only one which 100% sure had sounds)
-gcompris is playable but needs that sound fix...
-Pingus will show just "modern art" by slowly changing imageshapes starting at white background, but pingus was playable at fullscreen with maybe Bodhi Linux 5.1.0. But can't hope much other games to work.
All in all, this works surprisingly well at that extremely slow machine. Just hope to fix couple issues and all good.
Thanks to devs and folk here at forum. Without posts at here I probably wouldn't try again and got this installed.

enigma9o7 & oblioSorry, gotta ask from you tips to get hda intel with Realtek ALC269VB audio working. Tried reinstalling pulseaudio, opened alsamixer, selected that device as card, tried also this: forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?p=749536#p749536And no working sound. Would dig deeper, but since soon gonna drop that EeePC to enduser, I'm afraid I don't have enough time to fix it without some tips. Also gcompris would be much more useful if system would have sounds.

I poke in and out during breaks at work and lows, but unfortunately have two busy days coming up. I'm wondering if you may get more rapid assistance on Discord with time being a factor?

This kinda stuff is not my forte. Since it works in slax, that means surely there is a way to make it work in Bodhi. So there is some way to probe or check or see what driver/module/something you're using in slax, and then use that in Bodhi. But I dunno how to do that... but linux guru would...
The only truck I do know is there there is an app called "speaker-test" that just makes sound you can run from command line while testing. If you run alsamixer, use 'm' to unmute every output and turn them all up while speaker-test is running to make sure its not just a muted output - i have one desktop pc with muted speaker by default that I have to manually unmute (and cannot do anything with pavu control to fix it).

Update! I went to discord chat and thanks to thewaiter sounds are working now!
I did check few commands and sent pics etc. But I place here the steps which did help, cause didn't change other settings.
open terminal:
sudo alsactl init
after this command there was popup and soundlevel was set to 46%, well the percentage isn't important. After that sounds did work, but not after reboot.
To get permanent solution:
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/snd-hda-intel.conf
If you are not familiar with nano, you can use leadpad instead.
In my case file wasn't there already, so it showed empty file. Insert following into the file:
options snd-hda-intel model=generic
save the file and reboot. Now sounds should be working.
Note this solution works with this hw, if you have differet one and won't succeed, I suggest to contact support via discord chat.
Thanks again! This seems tobe great community!

I just learned of another debian official repo called fasttrack, that contains software that updates too often to be in the stable repos. fasttrack.debian.net/An example (for 64-bit) is Virtualbox. I suggest we include it by default with bodhi incase there is something someone wants from there so they don't have to look so hard; I only just discovered it existed today! So I think all the following should be included: bullseye bullseye-updates bullseye-backports bullseye-fasttrack bullseye-security |

Okay, one more minor thing I noticed. There should be a "bodhi-chromium" meta-package that redirects to debian's "chromium" so that the bodhi app center website works (similar to what's done on 5.1 where it redirects to ubuntu's chromium-brower package.) It's been quite a while since last ISO, any chance maybe we can get a beta2 with all the fixes/updates and hopefully suggestions included?

I am doing work on BL7.0. this debian version will be updated to a BL7 version at that point. I plan on releasing beta isos of BL7 for both ubuntu and debian 32-bit as soon I can. Hopefully within a month or less.
