Hello,
I installed Bodhi Linux on an eeepc 900, but the desktop remains empty.
I would like to install a taskbar and icons like trash, documents, etc. as in Ubuntu.
I find Bodhi very "light," but a configuration of the desktop like Ubuntu would have been preferable.
Thank you
Have a nice day
Configuration: Linux / Firefox 40.0

Hello,
Which version of Bodhi did you install? 2.4, 3.0, 3.1?
Some use e17, others e19, and the latest Moksha desktop (a fork of e17), and unfortunately, none of these versions are equal.
Normally, once launched, you should have a shelf (sort of taskbar) either at the top or bottom, and then it's up to you to configure it to have everything you want at your fingertips.

Does the menu appear when you left-click on the desktop?
Enlightenment is highly configurable, maybe too much for a beginner; it takes some time to understand all the possibilities, and then it becomes a delight: you can give your desktop the appearance you want because the default look of Enlightenment is designed to scare potential users away while there are such beautiful themes!
Personally, I still use version 2.4 on which I installed a more recent kernel, and it completely satisfies me (for me, it’s the best). The other versions disappointed me: they have gained a lot of weight (systemd is not to blame), and the software center is no longer very interesting. Even French localization has become complicated when before, installing a meta package was enough. In short, a return to the roots would be welcome.

Hello Jns55
We meet again!! Haha. Always present with detailed & clear explanations that I keep in my favorites haha!
Anyway, I have version 3.1
Bodhi is "classy" and beautiful with that black and transparent look in addition to being lightweight. The idea of Zipe (and yours too) should be executed right away.
I wonder if I should install it just for me, on an external drive?!
Yesterday, I tested "Docky" with its gadgets... but it installed on the bottom bar; so I thought Cairo Dock would be better (my humble opinion, no need to laugh or... a little!)
Have a good day

Version 3.1 uses Moksha desktop, which is a fork of e17 but is still very young (version 0.1). It doesn't bring anything more than e17 (and even less because some modules have been removed) and yet Bodhi 3.1 uses 40 MB more than Bodhi 2.4!
You have hundreds of themes available at http://e17-stuff.org/ because the default theme (yes, there is only one)... not really attractive, you have to like it!

Finally, I installed Cairo-dock ....not a bad solution, while I gradually get used to Bodhi (not easy!!)
A desktop should be functional, after all
Thank you :) and
Have a nice day, everyone

Cairo-dock is nice but quite heavy. When you install a distro like Bodhi, it's because you have hardware with very modest specifications, so you try to minimize resource waste to leave as much computing power as possible for applications. Well, that's how I see things.
The Bodhi desktop is functional but it needs to be configured to your liking.

Why does the computer shut down every 10 minutes?
Monitor the temperature. To do that, activate the temperature module.
Go to Menu Configuration/Modules, click on System, scroll down the dropdown list and select Temperature, then click to activate.
Normally, a thermometer will appear in the taskbar; hover your mouse cursor over it and the temperature will be displayed. Right-click on it and go to Temperature/Configuration, reduce the measurement interval to 16 ticks for example.
If it overheats, you will need to check the graphics card driver.

I'm still looking for help!!
In fact, Cairo Dock + a theme have defeated the installation.
By uninstalling them, I saw packages disappear!! Even the "terminal".
Since there is no restoration of W$, I reinstalled.
Otherwise, I managed to bring up Folder, terminal, FF, updater on the ibar.... Only the famous "Recycle Bin" remains, haha.
Jns, please, a lighter theme that you know well!
Thank you.

Hello jns
This site can also waste a lot of our time!
20 minutes to upload an image ... and in the end: No
---------
The drive is now mounted. I can see the folders, but I can't access them

When I click on a folder... "not authorized".
You could have said that earlier! It's just a simple rights issue.
1 - Mount the folder (for example, by clicking on it in your file browser you can close it as soon as it's done)
2 - Now open pcmanfm or thunar in root mode:
You can now open, view the contents, and copy whatever you want.
You can also change the permissions to make the contents of the drive accessible to everyone.
Explanation: the folder in question is only accessible to the user who created it; all other users are not authorized. However, the administrator (root) has all the rights (including the ability to mess things up and break everything).

Yesterday, I was browsing the forums because I have nothing: the Ubuntu software library refuses to download, in addition to the USB drive, which might get lost with my dead brother's photos (and the father of the one using the computer!)
And I found someone in my situation and an answer:
""check if policykit is set to start with your session
Dashboard>Startup Applications, Policykit Authentication Agent must be checked"
I’ve been looking for this dashboard. Nothing!!!
- Where is it??? --- (no, I regret this bodhi... as soon as I shut down, the desktop is gone!)
- One more question, please
Does the Documents folder still exist on the computer if I use "Toutoulinux" (maybe by formatting this USB drive and using it to create the boot?
BN
or
Have a nice day
It indeed looks "nice".
I will download it
Thank you
The Ubuntu link is just there to show you the basic principles of Enlightenment.
what bothers me is "the recycle bin"! If we accidentally send a document or something there, how do we recover it?
I saw that you have to go to home ...etc! It’s better on the desktop ...
