Another new kernel update was release for the Jolicloud Pre-Beta, bringing the new kernel to 2.6.32-6-jolicloud

Users of Jolicloud in a VirtualBox environment need to update the kernel headers.

If you have used our Jolicloud in VirtualBox instructions before on how to enable Guest Additions, follow these instructions to bring guest additions back up to the newest kernel.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install make linux-headers-$(uname -r)

Each line is a separate command, so you’ll have to hit enter after each one. Once everything is done downloading and compiling restart the virtual machine and when it starts back up everything should be working.

After this kernel update, we should be closer to a Beta release. New drivers are in place for more WiFi cards & better GMA 500 support. January is close to an end, where are the updates?

That’s what I want to know.
