A short video showing Jolicloud linux running on the Dell Inspiron Duo convertible tablet/netbook. www.jolicloud.com I would not have been able to achieve this if it wasn't for this forum thread: ubuntuforums.org Visit the link above to learn about running ubuntu netbook remix on the Duo. As Jolicloud is built from Ubuntu, so to speak, I believed the touchscreen fix provided by shartke for Ubuntu Netbook Remix would be applicable for Jolicloud aswell. As you can see from the video, this was in fact the case. Please see below on the process for getting this to work with the Duo: 1. Install Jolicloud. Once in the system, open Terminal (pres Fn+alt+F1 by default) and run 'sudo apt-get update' then 'sudo apt-get upgrade', once done, finally run 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' 2. Reboot the system, open Terminal again and run 'gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub' This will open a text file, find the line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" and replace it with: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i8042.noloop=1 usbhid.quirks=0x0eef:0x725e:0x40" Then click 'Save' and close gEdit. 3. In Terminal run 'sudo update-grub' let the command run its course, then, reboot. After the reboot you should have a working touchscreen! A few extras that are seen in the video: 1.
